PTR: Columbus Clippers v. Pawtucket Red Sox

[DiSab]

So, with me headed back to Dayton tomorrow for summer semester, the family decided to catch a game in the Arena District. My first impression of the ballpark - WOW. This place is seriously amazing. All you could want for a baseball park, with great views of the field from pretty much every angle inside (and some from outside, too). All-in-all I was blown away, and am really hoping to get back for another game or two later in the season.

The "free view." In the outfield walls they have grated windows so passers-by on the street level can catch a bit of the game. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

The AEP Power Pavilion. Rooster's on the Roof is on the top level, right next to the very Wrigley-esque rooftop bleachers.

From right field, just outside the foul pole.

If you have a good eye you can just make out the ball...

This would be a sweet shot if it wasn't for the backstop...

The Clippers and their now-affiliation with the Cleveland Indians.

Wow, great looking park!

That seems like a pretty large park for a Triple-A team, and it also looks really nice. It reminds me a lot of Camden Yards in Baltimore with the building in the outfield.

As an outfielder, that HUNTINGTON PARK sign behind home plate would drive me crazy.

 

If you get a chance Slugger Stadium in Louisville is really nice too. It's an old train station.

Man, that place looks awesome! Of course, I'm a sucker for gaudy neon newspaper signs (no really).

 

Didn't the Clippers used to play in Jet Stadium? That was a setting in the book I read during last year's Behemoth-Flyer Trip. Or was the author using a fictional name for the stadium (though it would seem odd that he would use a real team in a fictional venue)?
