COLUMBUS, Ohio — The crack of the bat at Cooper Stadium may soon be replaced by the roar of automobile engines. Franklin County is selling the west side ballpark for conversion into a racetrack, 10TV Kevin Landers reported.
With the Columbus Clippers moving into a new ballpark in the Arena District, the county has been seeking a new use for the stadium.
10TV has learned that a Columbus developer intends to turn the 47-acre site into a track for auto racing. An announcement is expected to be made Thursday morning.
