Jacobs Field Cleveland evokes excitement from a lot of people! To some, sports are a natural high and sitting in the band stands watching a favorite team is second to nothing!

and design. The Municipal Stadium's 74,000 seats rarely
filled up in its long history dating back to 1932 while

luxury boxes and larger clubhouses are available and conveniently
located in the heart of downtown Cleveland.
Though Jacobs Field Cleveland has many modern amenities and features it’s still much like a classic ballpark design. The field is asymmetrical and bleachers that are perched atop the left-field wall at 19 feet are just a couple of the old-style ballpark features. A great view of downtown Cleveland can be had as well because the ballpark isn’t completely enclosed.
Jacobs Field seats follow both lines and are angled to sit toward home plate. No more turning heads and cranked necks to see your favorite play! Behind first base is Kidsland that has special features and concessions just for children. There are bullpens that feature three mounds and seem to be built for the fans! The mounds at Jacobs Field Cleveland are raised above the playing field so fans can watch their favorite players warming up! Transportation to the stadium is convenient by bus or car.
