Cleveland Guardians Okay so I grew up watching baseball starting in the 1950's. I have been out of touch with most teams in the past two or three years except the New York teams and the Florida Marlins. So here's the playoffs and I'm wondering where this new team came from called the Guardians. After the first playoff game I realized it was the Cleveland Indians. I'm sorry but couldn't they have been a little more creative with a new name. I don't think the Seminoles have changed their name. Regardless Cleveland is having a good year. Maybe they'll win another World Series, but not this year! (I hope) How can I not like them. They won the World Series the year I was born! The team's World Series championship drought since 1948 is the longest among all 30 current Major League teams. So if they win I won't feel too too bad. read more

disappointed in how yall did the Pokémon go night. I bought tickets specifically to get the shirt and come to the event, but yall were selling the shirts instead and cut off the line right as I arrived. I'm very disappointed in how yall rolled out this promotion. I couldn't be more disappointed and annoyed with my experience. And I'm a former employee of the Indians so I know the process and procedure for how these promotions go! read more

Enjoyed the up up upper deck this trip and the seats were great above home plate plus it was quiet and not a big crowd around - perfect seats for a Sunday afternoon game! read more

Nice deal. However, beware that the hot dog buns are hard from sitting out and people are touching with bare hands (sanitary?) the burgers are dry, the menu items such as pasta, etc are cold, pretzel bites were hard, corn dogs - cold. The best food items were the fried chicken, mac/cheese, cornbread and nachos. The strawberry ice cream bar had a fake taste. The peanuts were grab as you like (sanitary?) Nice seats, however. Good to see hand sanitizer. Amazing fireworks production. read more

I finally attended a Cleveland Guardians game on Sunday afternoon, September 1st 2024 with my friend Christina (I got 2 free tickets). I visited again in on September 19th when another Cleveland friend of mine invited me to watch a game with her and her friend who was visiting from Europe. For both games, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the game. I had previously been to the Progressive Field stadium years prior but I was helping out a vendor instead of watching the game (I didn't have a ticket) so it was nice to return as a spectator/fan. I ordered chicken nachos from Barrio, without cheese, during my first game experience on September 1st. It was too much food for one person and I didn't realise that until after I got it so I recommend you split the cost with someone else especially because it is over $10. Even if you don't follow baseball like myself, if you enjoy watching professional sports, then I recommend that you come to a Guardians game. The crowd atmosphere, the many food options, the throwing of free t-shirts, the excitement of the game and so much more make it a worthwhile experience. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 96/150 total reviews in 2024 - 745 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 29 September 2024 read more

My family and I were in town last week for a baseball tournament, and since the Guardians were away in Chicago, we thought we'd check out the stadium! We wandered around a bit, even popped into a really nice looking office to ask about tours. The folks there suggested we head over to the team store. Unfortunately, the person working at the team store (an older lady, but a little less than enthusiastic) let us know that tours were all booked up because we arrived after 1:30 pm. Bummer! It was a bit disappointing, as the stadium looked amazing from the outside I can only imagine how cool it is inside. Maybe next time! We'll definitely try to plan a visit when we can book a tour in advance. I was going to give one star for how the lady treated us and looked down on us but the stadium was very beautiful and deserved the five stars. read more

Wanted to go see a ball game. Online shows box office open till 1/2 hour after the game start and 9-5. Nope, no more box office, online only per the rude assistants roping off the entrances to the park. Not helpful or pleasant employees. After walking to the ballpark we didn't feel like searching online for the $70 tickets. Went and watched at a local pub for free. read more

I usually don't do reviews on MLB parks BUT THOSE MOZZARELLA STICKS WERE THE BEST IVE EVER HAD. I stood in such a long line and the lady serving us was the nicest ever. She was apologizing for the wait and was so funny. Idk what specific store i got them from but they were so good. I'll never forget her or those jaw dropping mozzarella sticks! Literally just go for them. read more

Had a simply delightful time at a game this season... I was stopping in Cleveland for a break on a road trip and needed something to do. Why not see a baseball game? The stadium is nice. Plenty of good seats and a cool local vibe. The entrance I used had a patio area for food and drink with a view of the outfield. Sort of a party area for folks who wanted to hang out together. One noticeable feature was the reasonable amount of advertising. It didn't distract from enjoying the game, compared to a stadium like Target Field where the advertising screams at you for the entire game. They even had Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy as the seasonal beer choice. The bonus was the dramatic walk-off 10th inning victory... Overall, a fun experience with a great game and friendly fans, in a pleasant stadium. Would definitely go again! It was one of the best games I've ever attended. read more

Cleveland Guardians - View from the View Box, left field side - high up but still a good view - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

$30 dollars for me, $30 dollars for two kids and what did we get? Pre-game polka, beautiful night game, three free t shirts, 2$ beer, $1 hot dogs, a mascot with an evil twin (We Support Twin Mustard), and the most epically-long musically-themes fireworks show I have ever seen (20 minutes!). And that's not all - this is a real ballpark where you can get right down to the field and see the players, catch errant practice balls, and get soooooo disappointed when Andrew Chafin of the Rangers and his amazing stache-n-mullet come over to provide signed balls ... to the guy just right beside us. Boo. But kid #1 is correct - this is a much better place to watch baseball than the Rogers Centre. read more

Cleveland Guardians - Cleveland Guardians night game at Progressive Field, August 2024 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

See all

The Cleveland Indians had one of the greatest baseball players of all time, pitcher Cy Young. These days, Cy Young is best known for the Cy Young Award, given to the best pitchers in MLB each year. Young was an Ohioan through and through, playing for the Cleveland Spiders (1890-1898 - before the Indians franchise was formed and moved to Cleveland) and the Indians, then known as the Naps (1909-1911). He's reflected in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Naps gear. The team was established in 1894 and has been known as the Indians since 1915. Under the Indians moniker, Cleveland has won two World Series championships: 1920 and 1948. Interestingly, the 1919 through 1921 World Series were best-of-nine (!) affairs and the Indians beat the Brooklyn Robins, five games to two. The 1948 World Series was a standard best-of-seven with the Indians besting the Boston Braves, four games to two. (Fun fact: The Indians and Braves, now in Atlanta, met again in the World Series in 1995 and the Braves won the rematch. Now, they just need a World Series rubber match.) The Indians play in the Jake, officially known as Progressive Field, in downtown Cleveland, next door to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, home of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers. Progressive Field is sometimes referred to as "The Jake" because of its original name, Jacobs Field, named after then-owner Richard Jacobs. Progressive (insurance company of Ohio) has naming rights to the ballpark, opened in 1994, from 2008 to 2024. In 2018, due to increasing social pressure, the Indians ended use of the Chief Wahoo logo, a logo which had been around since at least the mid-1940s (over 70 years). Unlike the NFL's Washington Redskins, who changed their name to the "Washington Football Team" in 2020, the Indians have stuck with their name, but I wouldn't be surprised if it changes soon. The Indians have done well in recent years thanks to two-time AL Manager of the Year Terry Francona. Since becoming the team's manager in 2013, Cleveland has qualified for the playoffs five out of eight years, advancing as far as the World Series in 2016. That year, the Indians lost arguably the greatest Game 7 in World Series history. The Chicago Cubs won, 8-7, and ended their 108-year World Series title drought, but that's another story. I think it's safe to say Cleveland's baseball team is in good hands with Tito. read more

Bad experience on so many levels. Spent over $400 for tickets. Went to get a hot dog and was told to leave the area (meaning I was in front of a trash can throwing away my packets of ketchup) because you weren't able to stand there. Absolutely shocked as a life long fan (and ticket season holder in the past), that we treat people that way. I did report it to a supervisor but it was a total turn off for me. Will have a hard time returning and spending money. All in, I spent over 800 bucks today and it was as an awful outcome, my 2 guests were shocked and appalled. I'm embarrassed. read more

My friend is a season ticket holder for the Cleveland Guardians, so we decided to visit when our team (the Reds) were going to be in town. Ticket prices were very reasonable, but the concession stand were way overpriced. This was also the first time we had been there since they rebranded and it was cool to see all the new logos everywhere. It is so convenient that the stadium is right down town and I like that they have a hall of fame section to explore before the game. Overall, it was a really fun night at the ballpark with some great friends! read more

I visited Progressive Field to watch the Cleveland Indians play the Yankees as part of a stadium-seeing road trip. I was actually incredibly surprised by how much I enjoyed my experience there (even if Corey Kluber pitched for the Indians that night and destroyed the Yankees during the game... sad face). Besides watching the Yankees make ridiculous errors in the first inning, flail against Kluber's pitching, and end up losing the game? (sigh) There wasn't a bad view in the place. Perhaps one of the things I most enjoyed was the variety of concessions with locally-focused menus (or beer vendors with plenty of local/craft options - even if one of the first locations I went to was staffed with folks who didn't know all that much about what local craft beers they were serving). There were generally a number of really great concessions though - food and drink options for everyone (one of my favorites being Barrio, "tacos + tequila + whiskey"... I mean, c'mon!). I actually walked around the park a number of times - alone and then with friends - in order to take in the entire experience. Heritage Park space is a nice little gem, and then there are classics like the Jim Thome statue, etc. Ticket prices are pretty affordable, though I ultimately decided to take in the game from a seat in the Club level. Amenities in the Club level were delightful, with food and drink options included in the price... though I actually got most of my food from the main concourse level. That said, the Club Level even has random barrels of peanuts for every seating section... just fill up a little serving bag to go. :) TL;DR Surprisingly awesome. Would definitely go back. read more

Put the game on local channels so everyone can watch, including us! MLB cost extra & we have been unable to watch Arizona traing camp games.

I was at Municipal Stadium when Carols Baerga hit a home run from both sides of the plate in the same inning. I was scoring the game, looked up and asked my friend "How do I score that?" He said, "You moron did you just see THAT?!" Gives me chills. I was at Jacobs Field when Sandy Alomar Jr hit the home run at the All Star. I am one of those featherheads that watch Major League at least 3 times a year. "Forget about the curveball Ricky. Give'em The Heater." RIP Chief Wahoo. RIP Indians. RIP sanity.

Typical Cleveland sports they'll always let you down. The manager has gone rogue. Best bullpen in baseball and you bring in the closer twice to pitch and he's sucked twice, with all the substitutions and starting pitching division line up was weak as hell, didn't even use the guys that helped us get to this point, cobb the starter in game one what a joke. You got out coached big time newbie, you suck read more

Great team. Fun mascots. The sausages racing is funny. Love the Kiss Cam. Great fans. Always a relaxing good time.

I went to a few games last year and had a blast! First few games were in box seats and all of the food I ate was great! I had hot dogs, nachos, a soft pretzel and ice cream!! (It was a cheat day! Lol!) The game was great and everyone we encountered was friendly and went above and beyond! I can't wait to go to more games this summer! read more

DO NOT use STUB HUB DO NOT use STUB HUB for tickets to any Guardians game that has a chance of being postponed. Bought tickets for a Cleveland Guardians game on Friday July 1st and it got postponed due to rain. The game was rescheduled for Saturday July 2nd. Unfortunately for me, I am a firefighter and I had to work my shift day at the fire station on Saturday. I called Stub Hub on Friday after the game was postponed and they told me to try and sell the tickets on their web site. I asked them what will happen if they didn't sell and they told me to call them back and they will see if there is anything else they can do. My tickets never sold and today they told me "It's too bad you had to work today" The game was played today and we don't issue refunds or exchanges for another game. Beware of STUB HUB read more

We purchased tickets for the Saturday, June 21st interleague game between the visiting Cleveland Indians versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Had I known when we purchased the tickets that there would be a heat wave in So. Cal., I may have opted to watch the game at home, but since we had the tickets, we decided to brave the sweltering ~100 degree heat. Photo: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/UuxH5yQpl73XJkzfLN-qdg?select=WLkV5-gXrRcBtbOIt0cusA Highlights: - Cold beer tastes excellent in this concrete desert environment. - Our seats were located in the shade or we would surely have died in that sun. - I proudly wore my Cleveland Indians ball cap (which was Made in the U.S.A.). - Meeting the many dedicated Cleveland Indians fans who stayed for the entire game. - Witnessing Cleveland's pitcher C.C. Sabathia hit a first pitch home run. - Watching the Cleveland Indians win in 11 Innings. - Knowing that I'll be watching future games at home on television. Cash Expenditures: - Filling the Gas Tank $75 - Field Level seats (1/2 off) $70 - Dodger Beers $50 - Dodger Dogs $20 - Dodger Hat (for Deb) $16 - Dodger Logo - Water Sprayer $15 - Dodger Peanuts $11 - SPF 50 Sunscreen $10 - Dodger Magazine $ 5 Go Tribe! By the way, in the L.A. Dodgers review, I thanked them for: 1) Draining my wallet of cash to pay their triple A players. 2) Losing to my favorite ballclub, the Cleveland Indians. 3) Reminding me it makes more sense to watch the game at home. read more

Cleveland Guardians - Starting Lineup June 21, 2008 at Dodger Stadium. (Yelp HQ can remove this photo to add a pic of The Jake ) - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Dear Cleveland Indians, We drove all the way from Pittsburgh to watch you play. We love your park, it's really great. Pregame entertainment was also very nice. The "Hot Dog" race was very exciting, I was very happy to see Ketchup beat Mustard, especially after Mustard tried to cheat by taking a short cut. But the best part was you won! Awesome game! The most exciting part of the game was when Tony Sipp came in on relief in the seventh inning, throwing "heat", striking out the final two Twins players, to end their rally. The crowd when wild!! You could hear Chief Wahoo beating his drums like crazy! It was great!!! The Indians ending up winning 4 to 2. Thanks for a great game! Sincerely, Julie D and BJ read more

Decent stadium defiantly was worth the trip we stayed within walking distance and spent some time walking around the area. There was a entrance that let us in 2 hrs before the game and we were able to watch some bp, the only downfall was they only had the right field open during that time so no home run balls and did not open the rest of the stadium up until an hour before. The food was ballpark priced with not much of a selection to choose from possibly should add some of Cleveland favorites. read more

I've been to over 20 different ballparks and this is still one of the best. Plus, they are always running great promotions for adults and kids alike.

Lousy game day experience. Took some young kids to the park promising them A CHANCE for autographs. Bought em baseballs, a sharpie, and a display for their soon-to-be autographed ball (from the Indians team shop), entered the stadium immediately when the gates opened at 5:30pm, and was driven away by security near the Indians dugout at around 6pm. THAT is what your game day experience for kids is, Cleveland? ZERO player interaction with the young ones? Don't sell Sharpies in your team store if you're not going to make your players available for autographs. I''ve watched a game in 35 MLB stadiums. 29 of the current 30 ballparks (only missing the new Twins Stadium) and 6 that no longer exist (Old Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Old Busch Stadium, The Kingdome, and two parks that still exist but aren't used by the MLB teams any longer: Jack Murphy Stadium and RFK Stadium). I can't recall ever seeing ZERO interaction between the players and the fans (kids) prior to a game. Bad stuff. Now, let's talk about the food . . . I ordered a Wahoo Burger which was labeled as a double cheeseburger on the menu board. I couldn't understand why it was only $5. Seemed awfully inexpensive for a double cheeseburger at a major league ballpark. Then I got my 'burger.' What a joke! The patty was the size of a silver-dollar. No joke! It looked worse than the burger on the old, "Where's the Beef?!" commercials. I brought it over to a hi-top table in the dining area, laid it on the table without saying a word, and my girlfriend (upon seeing how small my burger is) says, "Oh my God! What is THAT?!" We were both laughing at how ridiculous it looked and she asked if I was going to take it back and I just explained it was only $5 for a reason and headed over to the condiments. The condiment station in itself was a joke. There was no mayo or ketchup in any of the dispensers. I went and found another condiment station and -- same thing. I had to search for another before I could get some condiments for my burger. People were just shaking their head in disbelief, pissed, or laughing that all of the condiment dispensers could be empty. Returning to my hi-top table to join my girlfriend in our joke of a 'meal,' here comes the stadium worker in charge of the garbage. In a giant dark gray trash bin he comes rolling up, parks his trash bin RIGHT NEXT TO US, and walks over to some of the nearby trash cans to grab a giant Hefty bag of trash, throw it into the giant bin RIGHT NEXT TO US, and head off to bring back more garbage . . . All the while leaving the giant bin of at least a half-dozen giant bags filled with garbage RIGHT NEXT TO US as we ate. AWESOME!!!!! Then, of course, the Indians lost to the woeful Blue Jays so . . . that was funny. Thanks for that. Oh, and when 99% of your fan base loves the iconic Chief Wahoo logo, don't remove him entirely from your stadium to cater to a few angry liberals. Cater to your fans. In fact, let's make that an internal message in your team office: Cater To Your Fans. If you want to see how things are done right, go take in a Columbus Blue Jackets game at their arena. I'm not even a Blue Jackets fan (I'm a Penguins fan). I hardly knew the Blue Jackets existed. But after being to about every arena in North America, that organization does just about everything right from a fan's game day experience. Take notes. Somewhere. Anywhere. read more

The Cleveland Indians are my favorite team in professional sports. Perhaps not by choice, but here I am today, a die-hard fan. You may ask yourself how a California girl like me could love this Midwest baseball team so dearly. I don't feel the need to tell you my family connections with the Mistake-by-the-Lake, but let's put it this way: a) My birth announcement had Chief Wahoo on it. b) One of my earliest memories is my father telling me that he would name my (now younger sister), Julio (after Julio Franco, who played for Cleveland '83-'88). c) I went to the last three games at Cleveland Stadium. My dad had one of those "movie moment" speeches with me, asking me to remember this stadium: Cleveland stadium had wooden seats that you could rock up and down to make noise when the game got exciting. "Jacob's Field won't have these seats" he said, his expression crestfallen with nostalgia. d) Every kid dreams of this: in 1993, I ended up with a foul ball hit by Albert Belle. Not only did I get the ball, I got him to sign within the same season. e) My most embarrassing moment involved the Indians. We somehow fanangled ourselves into a 1995 luncheon that the Indians were at. My dad gave me a glossy photo of a player we both thought was Wayne Kirby. Wayne Kirby politely informed me that the photo was not of him and that he would not sign in. Thanks dad. f) During a '95 batting practice at the Oakland Colliseum I asked Charles Nagy if he still drove a black Jeep (that I innocently saw him driving during an autograph session in Cleveland). He looked at me like I was a pre-teen stalker. The crazy kind. Other notes: I love Omar Vizquel not only because he's a Giant (My 2nd favorite MLB team) and the best short-stop to play the game, but because he was a former Indian. I also love that fact that he wrote about Jose Mesa losing the World Series for the Indians, and that Mesa will still try and hit Omar at the plate for it. Cleveland will always applaud Omar. They're loyal like that. I remember Manny Ramirez before he was a Masshole. When the Indians lost the playoffs last week, I silently walked into my bathroom, sat down on the tile floor and balled my eyes out. This, I believe, is love. read more

The PC Police are ruining everything... THE UP-SIDE: If you like baseball - and I loathe all team sports - the Indians just might be for you. Jacobs Field is a great little ballpark. And I, for one, love the name "Indians." People who find it racist are annoying, overly-sensitive, and downright silly. The PC Police are ruining everything fun in this world. (And no, I am not racist. And yes, I truly respect the American Indians. However, I do believe that there is such a thing as just not jumping on every PC bandwagon that happens to whine by.) THE DOWN-SIDE: I'll never understand why the masses revere a bunch of highly overpaid knuckleheads. These guys are not heroes, they are just millionaires that play with a little ball. THE SUM-IT-UP: If you like baseball, catch a game at Jacobs Field. It's a nice place. And if somebody starts moaning that the name is "insensitive," tell them that they are over-sensitive babies. 'Nuff said. Sheesh. read more

I just wanted to make a statement, since I reviewed a Chicago baseball stadium today, that I STILL LOVE THE CLEVELAND INDIANS. The Indians are my favorite team, they always have been, and they always will be. I have loved the Indians ever since I lived in Cleveland, and they were SO BAD, but they couldn't even maintain the title of WORST team in the league... I think they were the 2nd-worst... and I have remained loyal ever since. Come on, they have an entire movie franchise devoted to them! I *heart* the Indians. I triple *heart* the Indians. They are doing so well this season -- I can't wait for a Chicago-to-Cleveland road trip to watch them play! Especially because I want Grady Sizemore to be my boyfriend. read more
