Crosley Field is the only air-cooled park in the major leagues.
Jet air fans are located in thr rear of the grandstand, in both the
lower and upper grandstand. These fans have the patented Westinghouse
air injector rings and air jet straighteners built into them. The air
injector rings increase air-delivery forty per cent by incorporating
side air as well as air coming in from the rear.
The jet straighteners give the Jet fan high velocity; thus air penetration
is approximately ninety feet.
Each fan has air movement of 10,000 cubic feet of air per minute.
