Review from August 19, 2017
Columbia Fireflies vs. Rome Braves Spirit Communications Park, home of the Columbia Fireflies, is the best value in professional sports. The ticket price is on-par for A-level ball; however, what we got for that money was incredible.
The stadium was the 2016 Ball Park Digest park of the year. Everything about this stadium was top-notch. A person could walk all the way around the playing field, which is not typical of stadiums at this lower level. Even newer Ballparks (Greensboro, for example) are not built this way. SCP maximized the land they had and provided fans experiences other similar stadiums do not offer, such as a bar with stools in an open area behind center field. This offers new and exciting views for enjoying the game. Our actual seats were just off the home dugout and past the safety nets. During the course of our double header (for one ticket price!), Fireflies first baseman Dash Winningham tossed my family a ball on his way back to the dugout after the half inning... three balls throughout the two games! These are special keepsakes to all of us. All these different aspects combined made this one of the happiest days of my life. My family enjoyed it so much that we all left with hats, t-shirts, and other keepsakes... and a million fond memories of our day with the Fireflies. |
