How Does Progressive Field Measure Up?


Ballpark Concessions: 5

·                   Fantastic options! The Food Network  Stands offered specialty sandwiches and hotdogs. Carter and I opted for the Cleveland Dog. A hotdog topped with BBQ and Coleslaw. I read the park is famous for their I-shaped pretzels served with Cleveland’s signature Bertman’s Ballpark Mustard but alas after asking several employees and stopping at several concessions stands, I was not lucky enough to find one. I did find a cinnamon sugar soft pretzel from one of the specialty stands.  Be sure to stop at the APPetizer stand for some chicken and waffles or a deep fried snickers. Even though we did not  did not get anything from this stand the smells alone were enough to make your stomach begin to grumble. If fries are your thing check out the fry concession stand where you could literally watch your fries being cut fresh in front you.

Stadium Architecture and Views:  3 ¾

   Progressive field has a interesting open outfield that allows you to look out over the city.  In left field you can sit in $10 bleacher seats right beneath the jumbotron. They also have partnered with the local university to harness wind power for the stadium. A “green” thumbs up!

Fan Participation: 3

One of the Indians players was named Shin Shoo Choo. Whenever he stepped up to bat fans would holler CHOOOOOOOOO! I looked forward to his time at bat as I quickly followed along pretending to be a local. When the Indians hit a good ball the fans went nuts but other than that the crowds were pretty low cut. In addition to that the upper deck in right field was completely void of fans even for a fireworks night.

Batter Up.

Chooooooooo! My new favorite Indians Player!

Rally Alley-A place for the fans to cheer on their Indians.
