What it's known for
When it opened, ‘The Jake’ helped spark a revival of downtown Cleveland, and its sellout streak from 1995 into 2001 stood as a major league record for years. The exposed steel and vertical light towers are distinctive from anywhere downtown.
The ballpark has been reshaped over time to make it cozier, with fewer seats and more gathering spaces. The tall left-field wall, sometimes called the ‘Little Green Monster,’ is a nod to Fenway.
Getting there
Progressive Field is in the Gateway District downtown, next to Rocket Arena, the Cavaliers’ home. It’s walkable from most downtown hotels, and RTA trains run to the nearby Tower City station.
Tips for your visit
- East 4th Street, a few blocks away, is a lively spot for food before the game.
- Lake Erie weather can turn quickly in April; bring a jacket.
- It’s one of the more affordable parks for good seats, so this is a place to splurge on the lower bowl.
