Columbus

April 19th

Today was the Columbus Clippers 2nd day in their new digs – Huntington Park.

As a favor to a couple of our friends, Dave and I went to the game to observe the game operations. They had asked for our feedback on their ‘show’ and operations.

Game ops is basically the “show” you see while at any type of game. It’s everything from what you see on the “Jumbotron” to the entertainment you may see on the field/court/ice or even on the main concourse of an arena or stadium.

We have both been in the TV industry since the early 90s and have been involved in various aspects of game operations for the past 7 years for several NHL, NBA, AFL teams… and a few leagues/teams you’ve likely never heard of! Not to mention our jobs with various sports networks.

“Consulting” is something we both enjoy. Who doesn’t like free range to give your opinions?! Plus it’s nice to give back to the community that helped build who we are today.



As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Huntington Park is really nice! Granted, I have not sat in the seats yet – but overall – it’s a HUGE improvement from Cooper Stadium!



I am looking very forward to coming to a game as a fan this summer (when life settles down) !


What did I miss this weekend?
Absolutely nothing!
I wouldn't of spent it any other way!
It was SOOOO nice to spend a weekend like a normal person.
