Clingstones Announce 2026 Schedule — Opening Day at Synovus Park April 3

Season to Celebrate 100th Anniversary of Historic Golden Park

COLUMBUS, Ga. – In conjunction with Minor League Baseball, the Columbus Clingstones have released their home schedule for the 2026 Southern League season. The Atlanta Braves Double-A affiliate will open its second season at Synovus Park — and mark the 100th anniversary of its historic home venue — on Friday, April 3, against the Chattanooga Lookouts.

A Centennial Season at Synovus Park

The 2026 campaign will celebrate the centennial anniversary of Golden Park, now Synovus Park, which first hosted baseball in 1926.

• The year-long celebration will include special giveaways, commemorative theme nights, and fan events honoring the ballpark’s rich history.

“The inaugural season at Synovus Park has been nothing short of amazing,” said General Manager Pete Laven. “Planning has already begun for 2026, and we can’t wait to share with our fans what we have in store to celebrate not only the second season of Clingstones baseball but also the centennial season of our historic ballpark.”
