THE BRIDGE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN. OUR CREWS HAVE BEEN OUT ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ROWDY CROWDS STARTED TO BE A PROBLEM HOURS AGO. IN FACT, OUR DAISY KERSHAW MOVED ACROSS THE RIVER INTO KENTUCKY. DAISY, EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WERE SEEING AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO MOVE SO EARLY ON TONIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. SHEREE MIKE. IT\u2019S NOT UNCOMMON FOR FOLKS TO HAVE A FEW TOO MANY DRINKS ON DAYS LIKE THIS, BUT WHAT WE SAW OVER AT THE BANKS EARLIER WAS BEHAVIOR GETTING OUT OF CONTROL, AGGRESSIVE FIGHTS, BREAKING OUT BEFORE THE GAME WAS EVEN OVER. IT\u2019S WHY WE\u2019RE DOING OUR LIVE REPORT HERE RIGHT NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. AND IT\u2019S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE TODAY FANS REALLY JUST WANTED TO FOCUS ON CELEBRATING THE START OF A NEW BASEBALL SEASON. THERE\u2019S NOTHING LIKE IT. THE PARADE TO THE PRIDE. OPENING DAY IN CINCINNATI IS ONE OF A KIND. OPENING DAY IS HERITAGE. I MEAN, THIS IS A TRADITION. DOESN\u2019T MATTER IF THEY WIN OR LOSE. IT\u2019S A GREAT EVENT. THERE\u2019S A TON OF PEOPLE DOWN HERE. IT\u2019S JUST A GOOD TIME. EVEN AFTER THE DAY\u2019S LOSS, HIS FANS NOT LOSING HOPE. WE\u2019RE GOING TO WIN THE NEXT 161 GAMES, GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS, WINNING THE WORLD SERIES. EVERYONE AT THE BANKS THIS YEAR, HAVING A BALL GENERATIONS GATHERING HERE TO SHARE IN THIS TRADITION. THIS IS MY FIRST OPENING DAY AT A TIME. FOR SOME, IT\u2019S ALL NEW. HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN TO OPENING DAY BEFORE? YES. HOW MANY TIMES? DO. FOR SOME, IT\u2019S NEVER GOTTEN OLD. HOW MANY OPENING DAYS HAVE YOU BEEN TO? THIS IS MY 53RD IN A ROW. I SKIPPED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1973 AND I HAVEN\u2019T MISSED ONE SINCE RETURNING AGAIN AND AGAIN TO HOME BASE. LET\u2019S GO REDS. WELL, YOU HEARD US TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE BY THE BANKS TONIGHT. TOTAL 180. YOU CAN SEE FROM A LOT OF THE CELEBRATIONS THAT WE GOT TO BE A PART OF TODAY. I SPOKE WITH MANY LONG TIME REDS FANS WHO SAY THAT OVER THE DECADES, THIS IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST, BIGGEST CROWDS THAT THEY\u2019VE SEEN COME OUT, DESCRIBI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Reds celebrating Kids Opening Day for Saturday game against Red Sox<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wlwt.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WLWT logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 6:01 PM EDT Mar 27, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlwt.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOpening Day didn\u2019t go in the Cincinnati Reds\u2019 favor on Thursday, with the Boston Red Sox earning a 3-0 win at Great American Ball Park.Regardless, thousands of fans showed up to the ballpark to kick off a new season, and on Saturday, the celebrations will continue.The Reds are hosting Kids Opening Day festivities on Saturday, before their 4:10 p.m. game against Boston.The party starts at 11 a.m. outside the ballpark, and Reds players will walk the red carpet to GABP at 12 p.m., taking pictures with young fans ahead of the game.Fans 14 and younger at the game will receive a &#8220;Kids Reds Cap&#8221;, and kids will also have the chance to run the bases after the game ends, with priority given to Reds Heads kids club members.For more information on tickets for Saturday\u2019s game, click here.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCINCINNATI \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Opening Day didn\u2019t go in the Cincinnati Reds\u2019 favor on Thursday, with the Boston Red Sox earning a 3-0 win at Great American Ball Park.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, thousands of fans showed up to the ballpark to kick off a new season, and on Saturday, the celebrations will continue.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds are hosting Kids Opening Day festivities on Saturday, before their 4:10 p.m. game against Boston.<\/p>\n<p>The party starts at 11 a.m. outside the ballpark, and Reds players will walk the red carpet to GABP at 12 p.m., taking pictures with young fans ahead of the game.<\/p>\n<p>Fans 14 and younger at the game will receive a &#8220;Kids Reds Cap&#8221;, and kids will also have the chance to run the bases after the game ends, with priority given to Reds Heads kids club members.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on tickets for Saturday\u2019s game, click <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=109350X1567024&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Freds%2Ftickets%2Fsingle-game-tickets&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wlwt.com%2Farticle%2Freds-kids-opening-day-saturday-against-red-sox%2F70870639&amp;xcust=undefined\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reds celebrating Kids Opening Day for Saturday game against Red Sox ALL OVER THE PLACE.
