Editorial Review for Jacobs Field – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Built in 1994 solely for baseball, Jacobs Field features a design that echoes Cleveland's industrial history. But unlike the city's worn-out bridges and factories rustily lugging into the 21st century, the Indians have been rehabbed into a sparkling franchise. The stadium features Kidsland and the Market Pavilion, a four-tiered area offering food and pregame batting-practice views. Best of all, fans that catch a foul ball "on the fly" obtain an honorary contract from the Cleveland Indians.

Over the past five years I have visited Wrigley field, PNC park, Great american ballpark, and Turner Field. Honestly out of all of these only Wrigley Field could top Jacobs Field, and that is onley due to atmosphere. Nothing compares to Wrigley in that aspect. BUT....... visitors to Cleveland and Jacobs field wil find themselves having a good experience at the "Jake". Ticket prices are very reasonable. Parking cost down town for events is very high, but if a visitor inquires about the Rapid Transit , one can get to and from downtown for only six bucks. In my opinion, the bleachers are the best. Very affordable and a great view of the action. Food is just about the same as it is in any park, but the all-beef hot dogs w/ cleveland's famous stadium mustard is a must!! It sounds silly , but its the best mustard on earth! A tourist can buy a bottle of thier own at a local cleveland grocery store. There is plenty of bars and restaraunts near the jake for pre-game activity.. All the Jake needs now is a world championship banner ! GO TRIBE
Pros: plenty of bars near by for pre-game activities, fast commuting on city highways
Cons: plenty of parking , but high prices

I live in Cleveland and have attended games at Jacob's Field several times. I sat in a variety of seats, including the nose-bleed section, the bleachers, and right behind home plate. No matter where you sit you have a great view of the field, and if you have the opportunity to head to the field on fireworks night, get seats in Section 102. They view of the game and the fireworks is INCREDIBLE. One note: for those having trouble parking, try parking at Tower City. Special event parking is only $6 -- ALL DAY -- and there is an indoor/outdoor walkway straight to Jacob's Field. Plus you can grab food or do some shopping before or after the game. GO TRIBE !!!
Pros: Great seats, fabulous fireworks shows, and a WONDERFUL atmosphere -- best fans around!
Cons: Concessions can be expensive -- I stick to nachos on the cold days, and frozen lemonade on the warm days!
