Columbus Clippers (International League) 2009-present

"The New Columbus Ballpark" is the new home of the Columbus Clippers, a Triple-A minor league baseball team in the International League currently affiliated with the Cleveland Indians. Groundbreaking for the new ballpark took place on August 2, 2007, with construction being completed in April 2009. Designed by 360 Architecture, the 10,000-seat stadium is part of a US $56 million project. The new stadium is at the corner of Neil Avenue and Nationwide Boulevard in the Arena District of Columbus, Ohio and replaced the Clippers' former home, Cooper Stadium (1977-2008). On April 18, 2009, the park opened to the public, with the Columbus Clippers playing the Toledo Mudhens in the stadium's first game. On August 12, 2009, "The New Columbus Ballpark" was named the Ballpark of the Year by Baseballparks.com, beating out all other new or significantly renovated baseball stadiums in the country, including such Major League parks as the new Yankee Stadium and the New York Mets' new Citi Field. The award is given to the new stadium with the "best combination of superior design, attractive site selection and fan amenities," according to Baseballparkscom.
