Stadium: Progressive Field (formerly Jacobs Field)
Date Opened: April 4, 1994
Date of Visit: June 23
Game: San Francisco Giants vs. Cleveland Indians
Jacobs Field was one of the wave of stadiums built in the early 90s (Oriole Park, Rangers Ballpark, US Cellular Field) and is just as interesting as the rest of them. It was ranked as the best ballpark in a 2008 Sports Illustrated poll, mostly due to the atmosphere and promotions. We'll be able to experience the whole atmosphere, as we'll only be a few hours away the night before and can get there early. Also, the game we're going to has a Travis Hafner mini-bobblehead as a giveaway, so that makes it even better.
The teams haven't been doing so well this year, but it will be a good place to go see a game. It's one of the few games where we're sitting in the outfield, so there should be some colorful characters to make the game interesting. This is also one of the last stadiums we're visiting, but it's after a few days rest, so we should be energized and ready to go for the last leg of the trip.
