Cincinnati Reds Opening Day

The Cincinnati Reds have arguably the greatest opening day tradition in baseball.  For a long time, they were the first game played of the season. Now with the major TV contracts driving decisions, they are scheduled to start the season at home each year. The people of the city wear their red and many come downtown for a parade that morning. Many of these fans won’t even have tickets to the game but wander off to their favorite watering hole.  From Newport on the Levee spots, to haunts like Barleycorns, Willies, the bars in Main Strasse in Covington and on the hill in Mount Adams, over to Mount Lookout Tavern, the locals will be skipping work early for a cold “hudy-pop”

For those wanting tickets, the Reds are registering people for a drawing for a few remaining tickets to purchase. Opening day registration
