Alright. We had a pretty blah experience here. Maybe it would have turned out differently if we had actually seen a game but the rain delay was so long we had to leave.
It was the 4th of July. Cleveland has had historically LOW attendance this year. Turns out this was the ONLY game that sold out so far this year. C'mon. The stadium was packed. The concourse was a giant sweat factory of horror because it was raining, humid, everyone was slightly wet and sticky, and EVERY PERSON IN THE PLACE WAS STANDING ON THE CONCOURSE. The concourse is not built for this kind of crowd so, as you can imagine, it was horrible to try and walk anywhere.
Apparently the Indians offer some kind of Bud Light special where 12oz cans are $2. That is AMAZING considering this is a ballpark and beer is usually like $109 a glass. Of course, the lines to get this cheap ass beer were super long. We started waiting in one. Limit two per purchase but that was fine. We wait for 25 minutes. We can see the light... we're nearing the table to order. When there were six people between us and the cheap beer some park worker comes up and announces that all the beer is now $4 a can. Now, I know you're gonna say "Well, Jenna, $4 is still cheap so why are you complaining?" BECAUSE IT'S THE PRINCIPLE. Why did we wait all that time for some dude to arbitrarily announce that the price changed? There was no signage that indicated a stop time for this promotion so why would the price change suddenly while people were in line? We went to Fan Services to see if we could get answers and the two people working there were incredibly rude. I received better customer service when I emailed the Indians via their website so I feel a little better... though still no one has answered my questions about why the promotion randomly ended or what happened.
There were still $4 cans of beer at certain places in the park so you could always get something kind of cheap. Decent. I know it's not the Indians' fault that it rained but their ballpark gets pretty shitty once it does and everyone is drinking and the game isn't starting. My husband and I never saw an actual game here; instead, we spent two-and-a-half hours sitting around drinking beer slowly and avoiding food because it didn't seem worth it to eat and drink here just for them to call the game off... we saw a lot of the stadium but it was too crowded to enjoy or go into a shop so we just had to leave.
