County secures $12M in sponsorships for Huntington Park Business First of Columbus - October 31, 2006 by Jeff Bell Business First Franklin County officials have landed another $12 million in corporate sponsorship commitments for the minor league baseball park they plan to build in the Arena District. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. and Dispatch Printing Co. each committed $6 million for sponsorships at the proposed Huntington Park, according to a press release from the county. In addition, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said the city will invest $9.3 million for utilities, roads and other infrastructure improvements at the ballpark site. The 10,000-seat, county-owned ballpark is slated for the northwest corner of Neil Avenue and Nationwide Boulevard. Franklin County Commissioners recently pushed back the expected opening date for the $55 million ballpark to 2009. Huntington Park will house the county-owned Columbus Clippers of the International League and replace Cooper Stadium, the team's 15,000-seat home on Columbus' west side. Nationwide will pay $6 million for naming rights to the new ballpark's concourse. Its development subsidiary, Nationwide Realty Investors, is also donating its services, estimated at more than $1 million, to act as the county's owner's representative during the design and construction phases. The Dispatch will pay $6 million for naming rights to the ballpark's scoreboard. Earlier this year, Huntington Bancshares Inc. locked up naming rights to the ballpark through a $12 million sponsorship deal with Stadium Inc., the county entity that will manage the ballpark. Stadium construction will be financed by the county, which will sell bonds to cover the cost. The bonds are to be repaid with money contributed by corporate sponsors, future ballpark revenues and the sale of Cooper Stadium. .

Lifestyle Communities Eyes Arena District Headquarters
Nationwide Realty to oversee stadium project Business First of Columbus - March 29, 2006 Franklin County commissioners didn't venture far from the Arena District to select a company to help them build a $65 million minor league baseball park in that neighborhood. The commissioners said Tuesday they are beginning contract negotiations with Nationwide Realty Investors for the company to serve as owners representative for the ballpark project. Nationwide Realty is the developer of the adjacent Arena District, having worked on $616 million in projects there, including Nationwide Arena, home of the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets. The firm is the development arm of Columbus-based Nationwide. The stadium will be called Huntington Park as part of a $12 million naming rights deal the county signed this year with Huntington Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:HBAN). The stadium will be built at the northwest corner of Nationwide Boulevard and Neil Avenue. The commissioners want the stadium, which carries an estimated price tag of $65 million, to open in 2008. Until then, the ballpark's principal tenant, the county-owned Columbus Clippers, will continue to play at Cooper Stadium, also owned by the county. Nationwide Realty was one of eight companies that pursued the owners rep contract. Once on the job, it will supervise construction and be responsible for seeing the project completed on time and within budget. Commissioners said they will seek certain assurances in negotiations with Nationwide, including that the ballpark be accommodating for families and affordable. They also want final responsibilities for cost overruns clearly spelled out. Nationwide Realty will waive its fees for its owners representative services as a contribution to the project, said Michelle Chippas, spokeswoman for the Columbus-based company.

Arch, University of Cincinnati, 2002 Committee Chair: Gordon Simmons Nnamdi Elleh Udo Greinacher Abstract Stadiums have an important function in the life of American cities, providing a social outlet for people as well as creating an image and sense of pride in the community. The impact of sport facilities on the urban fabric can be significant because of the importance of a sport franchise to the public. Sport facilities involve important urban design issues of land use, infrastructure, context and public use. The amount of space these facilities use, their urban impact, and the cost to the public in relation to how often they are used, are critical questions. The social ritual of attending a sport event can be the design basis for integrating a stadium into the urban fabric in a way that vitalizes its surroundings. A space that promotes social interaction on a consistent level will create an ongoing social life beyond specific times of the day, month or year. As more and more stadiums were built in the 1990s, city officials believed that such facilities would be catalysts for urban revitalization.

Huntington Park, Columbus review pg 1 of 3 > PrimeSeatTickets.comHuntington for all MLB teams & World Series Park . Who says there's nothing new under the sun? Clippers' new home is our 2009 Ballpark of the Year So there I was exploring one-day-old Huntington Park with Scott Ralston and Chris King of 360 Architecture, designers of the stadium. My mind was racing at seeing things I'd never seen in a ballpark before when I said, "You know, after all of the ballparks that have been designed and built ..." Before I could complete my thought, Scott finished my sentence with " ... you'd think there'd be no new ideas, right?" Exactly. You'd think that every design innovation that could be Ballpark Stats http://www.baseballparks.com/Columbus-1.asp (1 of 7) [8/17/2009 8:10:22 AM] Huntington Park, Columbus review pg 1 of 3 worked into a baseball stadium had already been done. Visit Columbus, Ohio's new Huntington Park, and you'll learn that there are new things under the sun. And the ideas aren't just different. They are ideas that work beautifully. And seeing different design approaches is what makes visiting new ballparks fun. After all of the duplication of the same basic layout for Minor League parks in the past 15 years, it's a pleasure to see new ideas -- and Huntington Park has more than its fair share. All the better for baseball fans in Ohio.
