And the Reds are making sure fans can get their food and drinks as easily as possible. The ballpark is debuting a new Food Hub on the concourse level of the third baseline. It combines several food stalls in one and allows fans to grab-and-go with hot food, candy and desserts, beer and other drinks via self check out.

The hope is to get fans in and out as fast as possible so no one misses a pitch. If the concept goes well this season, the hope is to add more Food Hubs around the stadium.

The Food hub includes 32 self-service kiosks to check out your items yourself. (Spectrum News 1/Katie Kapusta)

And for fans that like to watch the game in style, the Lexus Diamond Club got a complete revamp over the off-season. The premier seating and club area behind home plate now has indoor seating available for all fans who are sitting in the Diamond Club.
