Ya' got me beat there BC!!

I've been to minor league parks in Nashville, Chattanooga, Toledo, and of course Columbus. Cooper in Columbus is almost downtown, you can see the skyline nicely, and a couple of years ago they changed the entire complexion and ambience of the old place by going back to grass!   When they put that cheap ass artificial turf in, the whole place seemed almost dismal......amazing the difference returning to grass made!

Majors, I've of course been to Cleveland, both the Jake and Municipal. In Cincy, I attended several games as a kid at the original Crosley Field and also have gone to the bow(Cynergy). Been to Yankee Stadium once, St. Louis once, Atlanta (not "The Ted") a few times, Three Rivers once, and went to a game at Camden Yards in Baltimore. I really like Camden and the Jake and the whole trend of going back to the ballpark design. I hated those friggin' bowls and their nosebleed seats.

If you (or any of you) are in Columbus during ball season, I'd love to go to a game with you. Cooper is a neat old place now with the grass again and I love minor league ball. AND IT'S CHEAP!!!!! We try to hit the "Dime-A-Dog nights and such and last year, we had both families (Connie and Wayne's as well as ours---8 of us) at a game for which we had free tickets (usually easy to get from someone) for Dime-Dog. We upgraded to Box Seats for 4 bucks a piece and by the end of the night we had consumed ridiculous quantities of dogs, had numerous pops and peanuts, and a couple of popcorns. Including the gas, parking, food, upgrades, etc......eight of us had a pretty good time watching the Clippers play the Mud Hens for a grand total of about $55.00!!!! even on an average night a family can attend the game, have some goodies and spend far less than 50 bucks which barely buys a couple of bad seats in Cincy!!
