So, I went to the ground-breaking yesterday of Huntington Park, the new baseball stadium for the Columbus Clippers. It was a pretty standard media event. Nice big flat-screen showing off a slideshow of the renderings. A lot of suits present, but also some baseball players, fans, mascots, quite a few elderly folks, and a group of little kids too.
They revealed some new sponsors and thanked about a billion people and companies for making it happen. Otherwise it wasn’t a lot of new information.
Either way, I look forward to seeing it open in April 2009! Should be a nice addition to the neighborhood. I took a few photos and posted them below:
Looking forward to the new stadium. I haven’t been to the Coop in like 15 years.
Well, they did make sure to mention again that dime-a-dog night would still be at the new stadium, so I think that will help keep a lot of old fans coming.
This a great addition to downtown and has great potential to add year round activity in the arena district.
