The plan is a result of a collaborative process among the city of Colum- bus, Franklin County, Franklin Township, Jackson Township, the Southwest Area Com- mission and the many interested citizens and stakeholders in the Southwest Area. The plan outlines a common vision for the future development of the Southwest Area that is a result of extensive community input and outreach to all of the area’s jurisdictions. The plan contains key recommendations in the areas of land use, parks and open spaces, economic development, urban design, transportation and regional coordination.

    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.

  • 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.
