I personally hate the bleachers (others love it, top deck in LF), but every other seat in the house is a good one.

Montgomery Inn

Good/bad section to sit in? I’m not looking to spend a ton of money on seats (probably $35 or so max but cheaper’s good too)

If that’s the case. You’re going to love Cincy. Tickets are as cheap as $5 at the GABP and you can get really nice seats for under $30. There really aren’t any bad seats in GABP. Your best bet is to stay out of the upper decks down the lines in right or left field (only seats with somewhat obstructed view).

You can buy excellent seats at field level for $30 to $40 a seat.
A good thing to do would be to get there early enough to burn down the big boat thingy in CF..there’s great view of the Ohio River and Northern Ky. without that thing in the way.

twice this year I have gotten field level tickets in the infield for less than $30.

Most of your questions should be answered therein

Weather question – how’s the humidity in June? I’m a Pacific Northwest weather wuss and humidity is one of my least favorite things in the world. Just need to know how much extra beer money to bring to cope.

I’ve been to Seattle for about four days out of my entire life, and in those four days found more great dive bars and jukeboxes than damn near the rest of my days combined. Which is to say, you likely won’t be impressed with what you find in Cinci.

Also, personally, I love sitting out in the Sun/Moon Deck in RF. My favorite seats in the park. If you prefer sitting in foul territory, I recommend the 3rd base line. Like someone mentioned previously – avoid the bleachers. If you go to a night game you’ll have the sun right in your eyes for the first two or three innings.

Bar Louie at Newport on the Levee has great! pre- and post-game drink specials.

If you like big ol’ meaty sammiches, try Penn Station – even the one in the ballpark is pretty good.

Have a good time!

For Montgomery Inn. After living in 4 different states and visiting all reaches of the south and midwest, there still isn’t a better slab of baby back ribs in the country.

Ain’t cheap, but compared to the west coast, you won’t be breaking the bank.

are a great place to smoke.

No bad seats in GABP in my opinion. I’ve sat in lower deck all over. I’ve sat in RF and LF. I’ve sat in upper deck all the way at top and in between. If you’re at the edge of the balcony on the top deck, the glass sometimes blocks your view, but that’s about it. I’m sure there are a few other places with obstructed views, but for the most part, I have had good seats nearly everywhere.

New HD scoreboard is nice.

you’ll want to catch the Creation Museum
you haven’t really gotten the lay of the land, the feel of the common folk ‘til you’ve been there. although, I myself wouldn’t be caught in the Rapture there.
