| | BallParkWatch - Cooper Stadium / Columbus Clippers |
 | | At one point it was the first minor-league stadium to have AstroTurf (luckily, the stadium reverted back to natural grass years ago), and it has gone by several names, including Franklin County Stadium. |
 | | Cooper Stadium, the home of the Columbus Clippers (Class AAA; International League), may be well-regarded in baseball circles, but apparently the folks in Columbus want more, as two groups are seeking a new downtown stadium. |
 | | The team and Cooper Stadium are owned by Franklin County, so there are many hurdles before anyone will see a new stadium, but things have progressed to the point where two potential sites are being mentioned and renderings have already been prepared. |
