Turner College Grad Kyndal Nipper and her Synovus Team Close the Clingstones' 2026 Home Season in Style

Over the Labor Day weekend 2014 Turner College grad Kyndal Nipper (BBA, marketing) helped the Columbus Clingstones close the 2026 season in style. Nipper, a Communications Strategist with Synovus, and her team assisted with the festivities at Synovus Park, the home of the Clingstones. "So many of our team members came together to make this night special for fans. From the countless hours of preparation behind the scenes to the special jerseys, thoughtful surprises, drone show and fireworks finale, every detail was intentional and helped create a night to remember. Getting to experience it with my family (and the cutest 'Play Ball' kids) made it even more special," explained Nipper. Now, with the merger of Synovus and Pinnacle Financial, the Clingstones begin preparation for their 2027 home opener in Pinnacle Park. "From opening day at Synovus Park to the final Columbus Clingstones home game of this season, this weekend marked a meaningful transition: celebrating the close of one chapter and the beginning of a new one as one of my favorite venues becomes Pinnacle Park, the first baseball park to carry the Pinnacle Financial Partners name. Here’s to celebrating what’s ahead. See you at opening day at Pinnacle Park in April," Nipper added.
