Cinergy Field implosion in 2002. The Enquirer
"And this one's gone!" read the headline on the front page of the Dec. 30, 2002 edition of The Enquirer.
The day before, Cinergy Field - known to most more belovingly as Riverfront Stadium - was imploded.
"Thirty-two years of Cincinnati history crumbled like a sand castle in 37 seconds Sunday morning, as a ring of detonations brought down Cinergy Field and two generations of sports memories," wrote The Enquirer's James Pilcher.
Using 1,400 pounds of explosives, the home of many of Cincinnati's sports triumphs was reduced to a pile of concrete and twisted metal.
