Progressive Field, formerly known as Jacobs Field or affectionately “The Jake,” has been home to the Cleveland Guardians since 1994. This retro-modern ballpark blends striking architecture, like its signature white vertical lights and open views of the Cleveland skyline, with an authentic local vibe that sets it apart. The energy in the stadium was electric during our visit – helped by $1 hot dogs, a Cardinals matchup, and the always-entertaining Hot Dog Derby. What stood out most were the impressive local concessions (some of the best we’ve seen in any park), the heritage-rich Hall of Fame, and the thoughtfully designed Kids Zone. This was our first time in Cleveland, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much there was to do nearby. From the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to the vibrant Flats, bustling East 4th Street, and a solid lineup of craft breweries, the area around Progressive Field makes for a fun and flavorful baseball getaway.
