Progressive Field the Best in Baseball Says Sports Illustrated
The Indians sent out the following about today’s results of the best parks in baseball:
Progressive Field was voted the #1 Ballpark in Major League Baseball by Sports Illustrated in their recent online poll conducted in March on SI.com.
The results were based solely from an online survey of thousands of baseball fans asked to rate their hometown ballpark in 10 categories (Team, Affordability, Food, Team Quality, Tradition, Atmosphere, Fan IQ, Hospitality, Promotions, Traffic, Neighborhood). Nearly 15 percent of the responses came from season-ticket holders, and more than half of all the responses came from fans who attend at least five games per season. All 10 categories were weighed equally.
