Jacob's Field
Professional baseball in Cleveland is one of the city's oldest traditions, dating back to 1869. There is a passionate connection between the city of Cleveland and the Indians as they are a study in revival. Both are working, living examples of the power of teamwork, conviction and dedication. Jacobs Field has become a crucial rallying point for both the Indians and the city of Cleveland. It stands as a powerful symbol of the team's and city's rebirth and promising future. Since its opening in 1994, Jacobs Field has treated millions of baseball fans to the very finest in sports entertainment. Money magazine echoed these sentiments, listing Indians baseball at Jacobs Field as the best fan value in major professional sports in its October, 1995 issue.
