Opened in 2009 with a seating capacity of 10,100, Huntington Park in Columbus has been voted one of the 10 best minor league ballparks in the United States, checking in at No. 8 in the USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards.

The top three finishers were Modern Woodmen Park (Davenport, Iowa), Polar Park (Worcester, Massachusetts) and Sahlen Field (Buffalo, New York).

The first Dime-A-Dog night for the Columbus Clippers this season will be the team's home opener on April 1.

Located in the Arena District, Huntington Park is a 200,000 square foot facility with two full bars, rooftop and right field terraces, and lawn and picnic areas.

It plays host to Columbus Clippers home games. The Clippers have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians since 2009. Prior to that, the Clippers were partnered with the New York Yankees.

The Clippers 2025 season starts March 28 with a road game against the Toledo Mudhens. Columbus' home opener is April 1, when the Clippers welcome in the St. Paul Saints.

That will also be the first night the Clippers observe their celebrated Dime-A-Dog Night promotion.

Huntington Park has also been the site of Savannah Bananas baseball games, Ohio State football alumni charity fundraisers, Ohio High School state tournament action and action sport showcases – among other events.
