Affectionately known as "The Jake" since the park opened in
1994, Cleveland's Jacobs Field gets a name change for 2008. Earlier this year,
Progressive Insurance shelled out almost $60 million to have its name adorn the
Indians' beloved home. But no matter what you call it, this stadium offers the
total fan experience, including great sight lines, a beautifully kept field,
and some of the most loyal fans in the league. We recommend taking in one of
the Indians' rock-'n'-roll-themed fireworks shows, which they host after every Friday
night game. More importantly, have a hot dog slathered with Cleveland's
authentic Ballpark Mustard—it's the best mustard you'll ever taste.
Fast Fact: Almost half of the funding for Cleveland's
beautiful ballpark came through a 15-year tax on cigarettes.
