Columbus Clippers

I love going out for a baseball game! .the masses of people, the promo’s, the fan rivalry, the food, the promo’s!!, the day/​evening out with friends & family, and I really just like being out on beautiful days. Did I mention the promo’s?! They have ‘dime a dog’ & ‘Buck a bone’ night! let’s write this in caps for the skimmers:
DIME A DOG NIGHT!!! & BUCK A BONE NIGHT!!!
That’s a mere $.10 for a Sugardale hotdog and as much ketchup & relish (or mustard if you’re one of those people =P) as you’d like! I can’t think of anything, frankly, that I can buy for $.10… not even when I was a kid! Penny Candy? It’s not really a Penny anymore and it was $.25 when I was a kid. SO… HOTDOGS!!! And who doesn’t freggin’ love hot dogs?! (Let’s leave the vegetarians out of this secret then, shall we?)
Let’s not forget ‘Buck A Bone’ night! City BBQ has a tent here on those nights and it’s $ 1 for each rib… each bone is a buck… it’s that simple really. I’ve tried these, but to be fair I was late getting there that night and the game was about to start (in 20 mins) and they were gone apart from 2 bones. We bought them… and ate what we could from the measly bones. It wasn’t something I would probably buy again. too dry, no sauce, no meat, …
And of course COLUMBUS ZOO NIGHT which Jack Hannah calls on his best people friends to bring some fury fans over to watch baseball. Seriously though… small animals are brought from the zoo to stand out in the hallway and be harassed by all your children. Please, just 2 fingers will do! They tend to bring the animals that love getting attention and the ones that wont… bite… Of course if you use 3 fingers I can’t guarantee your safety. That tiny mini barn owl looked quite the monster. Perhaps only 1 finger for that guy.
No where will you find a bad seat. I mean that. We’ve had seats all over, heck I’ve even been that person who stands outside the stadium looking in from the window at the end of the first base line. People set up chairs out there… no lie. There’s a bar section too, no seats of course (unless you’re VIP at the umbrella section). I havent seen these for sale ever so who knows. There’s standing room if you’re only interested in getting in and drinking while watching the game. Other wise there’s always seats passed 1^st base and 3^rd. Best seats, in my opinion anyway, are right on top of the dugouts! Only topped by seats right next to the dugout so I can watch them in there. I use to play so I like hearing everything they talk about, makes me feel more connected to the game.
Seriously though $ 1 buys you 10 hotdogs (ONLY on dime a dog night!) Just be prepared to wait in a seriously long line.

Out of the three stadiums I have been to– This one, Cleveland, Pheonix — I have to say this has a favorable set up. Probably because it is smaller, which I like. Dime a Dog night brings the lines. If you want to get the dime a dog Homage tee in anything above a size small get there super duper early. I left with a very diaspointed boyfriend. You still can’t beat 7 hotdogs for $ 0.70. There is such a positive kid friendly vibe here… but with beer. Like :)

This place rocks!!! 6 years ago I walked into this stadium with my son to watch is first baseball game… He was 5 years at the time and like every little boy they have on their favorite baseball cap «Yankees» and his baseball mitt hoping to catch a fly ball… The ball park is awesome I mean when George Steinbrenner built it you knew it would have all the Bell & Whistles!!!
For my son this place is like Disneyland kids everywhere with their parent’s people buying Hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, soda, peanuts, crackerjacks… There are sales booths, pitching booths so much stuff for the family to do that the Game you come to watch seems an added plus!
Pricing on food and drinks phenomenal I mean where else can you get a hot dog and beer for $ 3 bucks??? Not many places make coming to a ball park that cheap!!!
All I can say is that if your ever passing through Columbus Ohio & want to see a baseball game then stop in its definitely worth the time and money.

The BEST minor league baseball team out there! The Clippers have it all — an incredible ballpark, a world-​class front office and a very competitive team. They are back –to-​back Governors Cup and Triple-​A National Champions, and it’s no accident. They are commited to winning and pleasing their fans. Top-​knotch organizxation from the bottom to the top.

Last Thursday, I went to my first game at the new stadium (yes, I know I’m behind things) and I’m reminded just how much I love them!
I’m going to age myself here, but I was a member of Bucky’s Bunch in my youth and spent many an afternoon at the Coop praying that I wouldn’t get hit by a foul ball. And think I may still have the ball cap somewhere…
I loved the new Stadium and I still love the Clippers. I heard several people ringing bells and I wish I had thought to bring one because I haven’t heard that in such a long time! I wish the crowd as a whole was a little more into the game because there wasn’t much cheering. I just wonder if that’s because it was a weeknight game. Its so nice to have a team like the Clippers around. Its an affordable evening out for friends or families to go and have some fun!

The new park is amazing!!! Just went to my first business man special game day. It was awesome! We did lose but you could not ask for a better day for a game! Beer specials, food specials and all the same greatness the clippers staff brings! The clippers could loose 45 – 3 and a person would still have a great time. With ticket prices ranging from 6 – 12 bucks you can’t beat an afternoon or a nice summer evening.

Columbus Clippers ring your bell ding ding ding. This song was the driving force behind the collection of bronze-​esque cowbells I have amassed over the years. Its a catchy little jingle for an underrated baseball team. And it has nothing to do with ships. I love me some Clipper games. Dime a dog night, free bat day, San Diego chicken time, its great. Possibly the only place you can eat a sundae served in a mini batting helmet, a Clippers game is a night well spent. I don’t ever remember a winning season, but I also never remember caring either. Going to «the Coop «to watch the games was always a big deal. I am sad to see Cooper Stadium go but I am excited that the Clippers will get a new stadium. Hopefully it will bring some hype to a team that is not only dwarfed by anything Buckeye but any other sports team as well. The Clippers is the only way Columbus-​ites can view something close to a professional baseball team without leaving the city. We should embrace this team and give them just a little place in our hearts that is shaped like a Buckeye. So I will end with the strong plea to everyone to really live out the lyrics of; Columbus Clippers, our team is number one! Columbus Clippers, our fans are half the fun! No matter who they’re playing, they’ll always play ‘em well Columbus Clippers ring your bell!
