Cushioned chairs! My wife rates this park five stars just for the comfy seating. Overall, we had a wonderful night in a terrific stadium.
Background
Sat in lower deck first-base side for a Sunday evening mid-May game (nationally televised). Great sweatshirt baseball weather, clear skies, temperature in the 50's, albeit a bit windy. Sadly, the Phillies beat the Guardians of the Gal-, er, Cleveland-ers 3-0.
Stadium
I love downtown outdoor stadiums, and this one has a great outfield view of the city skyline. Impressive scoreboard. Great sight lines from throughout the park, even standing from the infield and outfield concourses. Did I mention the cushioned seating? These weren't Club entry either, just normal lower deck. The only knock I can find is that there's nothing really iconic or memorable about the stadium. Just clean, pure beauty.
Food
Three basic dogs are available, the classic, the all-beef and the bratwurst. The all-beef was by far the best. A great simple dog. No, we didn't sample the exotic toppings, missed out on the Froot Loops and pimento cheese covered Slider Dog. Otherwise, the standard types of ballpark fare are well covered. Saw several people around us having pizza as well as a few large plates of well-adorned nachos.
What's Unusual
Cushioned seats, by gawd! Every ballpark should have these!
Summary
I truly have nothing bad to say about our evening in Progressive Field. Well, okay, maybe the name should be returned back to Jacobs. But that aside, i find myself telling my inner ratings grinch that this evening really deserved a fifth star.
