The other thing that's a big bonus for sports fans on the bus is that you don't have to worry about drinking and driving! If you've had a beer or two (or more) then the bus is an awesome option.
The 2 and 4 (and the 102) are all great options for the Clintonville or High Street corridors for getting there as well. You have the Jackets, the Crew, and the Clippers' stadiums all within walking distance of the stops in front of the Nationwide building!
I find the 3 and 8 stop right in front of Nationwide Arena really convenient if I'm coming from the right spot. The stop is literally right on that plaza in the back by the Tim Hortons. Regarding Lower.com Field (and to a lesser extent, Huntington Park), COTA should run more service out further west along Nationwide, especially on game days!
The major problem with that for Lower.com Field is that SO many people just walk right down the middle of the street to get to the stadium from the nearby parking. I think they actually close down Nationwide Blvd. a few blocks from the stadium entrance. It's kind of fun to have all these folks marching down the street from the local bars and such to go to the games!

I haven't been to a game at Lower.com (at least recently), so I wouldn't know what that's like. It sounds pretty neat though!
