Progressive Field renovations
The Cleveland Guardians unveiled the first phase of renovations to Progressive Field, 30 years to the day after its April 4 opening in 1994.
The work done so far features a reimagined upper deck experience.
Welcome to the new Upper Deck experience at Progressive Field, part of the first phase of a two-year renovation of the ballpark. Crews in October began removing massive sections of seating to create open air experiences on either side of the ballpark.
Part of the right field area sits atop the commissary building on East 9th, which allows more space for more food options for fans.
