Cleveland Indians: Take Me Out to Progressive Field

With spring training started and the regular season just over a month away, it’s time to start planning your trip to Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians.

So why go to see a Tribe game?

Besides, Terry Francona‘s Indians and the hope of a divisional title in sight, the trip to Progressive Field has so much more to offer.

The ballpark, which is located on the corner of Ontario and Carnegie, is right in the heart of the city. The open concept stadium has a beautiful city skyline view and there’s always a great breeze rolling off Lake Erie. The rich history of the Cleveland Indians is on display; from Bob Feller, Larry Doby and Jim Thome who are honoured with bronzed statues, to the curved row of benches which read, “Who’s on First”. There is also a street in between Progressive Field and the Quicken Loan arena (Home of the Cleveland Cavaliers) named the Rally Ally. In this section, through-traffic is blocked on game day, open only to food vendors, souvenir stands, and of course, thousands of Indian fans. 

Ticket prices average $23.38 and are the sixth lowest in the majors. Feature seats in “the corner” run around $13 a seat, which includes a beverage of your choice. The newly added “Bull Pen” seats give the fans the up close up view of just how hard these guys can really chuck it. Dugout seats are on the higher price point but offer a field level view. Regardless, there isn’t a bad seat in the park.

Now, once you’ve taken in all the history outside, have your ticket and your seat, it’s time to make your stomach happy. Dine in the stadium at the Terrace or Club lounges, or enjoy a Sugardale dollar dog night on a Fridays. The Indians concessions are well priced and have the second cheapest hot dog price in baseball. If you need to quench your thirst, Great Lake Breweries is featured at the park and have a selection of local beers at a great price. Like the hot dogs, the average beer price at the stadium is the second cheapest in the majors.

Coming with kids? The Indians have you covered.  Discounted kids seats and a recently renovated 2-floor kids club house, which includes rock climbing, face painting, interactive games and a viewing area of the field for caregivers.

Progressive Field, the ballpark in Cleveland, has it all.
