The park is amazing, but for it to win out over billion dollar parks like New Yankee and Citi-Field is pretty cool.

you know how much it sucks that towns like columbus have really nice parks like this and we in nashville are stuck with greer?

 

A LOT, that's how much.

you know how much it sucks that towns like Columbus have a AAA team when we have a higher population than several major league cities?

 

and FWIW, the park the Clippers were in last year was a total dump

i don't think ohio is going to support 3 major league teams.

That ballpark looks incredible. I'd rather visit that one instead of some major league ballparks

Well, no, I'm not suggesting that. Just saying it's bigger than the 3 closest ML cities (Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincy).

 

And yes, the stadium IS incredible.

I haven't had a chance to see the new park here in Columbus. Reading this makes me want to go check it out. I thought 5/3 park in Dayton was pretty nice for a Class A affiliate of the Reds.

Actually, all three of those cities have larger metropolitan populations than Columbus.
