Principal Park Seating Guide: Best Value Tickets for Columbus Clippers vs. Iowa Cubs
Smart Buying Tips for the Best Baseball Experience
As a AAA baseball venue, Principal Park offers excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection can enhance your experience. Here's my expert breakdown of the current ticket inventory for the Columbus Clippers vs. Iowa Cubs matchup, with recommendations for every budget.
Best Value Tickets (Under $20)
- Sections 10/14 (Rows 1-4): $16-$18 - Outstanding value in the baseline areas. Row 2 in Section 14 is particularly good with elevation that clears the dugout.
- Section 6 (Rows 1-2): $17-$19 - Near the visitor's dugout with great infield views. Row 1 here is a steal at $19.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- Sections V-W-X (Rows 1-2): $21-$22 - Premium lower box seats behind home plate at 40% less than comparable MLB prices.
- Section C (Rows 1-2): $22-$23 - Club level seating with excellent elevation and home plate perspective.
- Section U (Row 2): $23 - Perfect angle for viewing pitch movement with good foul ball opportunities.
View Considerations
🔍 Key Differences by Section:
- Sections 4-16: Traditional stadium seating with gradual incline. Higher rows (16+) may feel distant in this minor league park.
- Sections U-Z: Closer to field level with steeper rake - better for seeing details but slightly less comfortable for extended viewing.
- Bleachers (GA): $27 gets you general admission - arrive early for best spots but limited back support.
Premium Options
- Sections NN/PP (Rows 2): $80-$84 - All-inclusive areas with premium amenities and perfect sightlines behind home plate.
- Section O (Row 6): $109 - Luxury suite-style seating with the best elevation in the park.
Last-Minute Deals
- Section 15 (Row 1): $35 - First row down the left field line often drops below $40 closer to game time.
- Section 5 (Rows 1/16): $35 - Visitor's side equivalent with great value if purchased day-of.
Pro Recommendations
- For families: Section 10 Row 4 ($16) offers easy access to concessions and bathrooms.
- For serious fans: Section V Row 1 ($22) provides MLB-quality views at minor league prices.
- For groups: Section 14 has multiple blocks of 6+ seats together at reasonable prices.
- Avoid: Upper rows (16+) in outfield sections - the elevation isn't sufficient for good sightlines.
Final Tip
Principal Park's intimate size means even the "cheap seats" are decent, but spending $5-$10 more for Sections V-Z or lower rows in 6/10/14 makes a dramatic difference in experience. For day games, prioritize third base side (Sections 1-8) to avoid sun exposure.
