Guardians announce what's new at Progressive Field for 2024

April 4th, 2024

Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Guardians today provided details about what’s new at Progressive Field for the 2024 season. The start of the new campaign at Progressive Field brings with it updated information on the ongoing ballpark renovations, new food and beverage options, exciting new partner activations around the ballpark and affordable ticket offers for fans to come visit Progressive Field throughout the summer.

Progressive Field Reimagined

Ballpark renovations at Progressive Field are underway at The Corner of Carnegie and Ontario. Continuing through Opening Day 2025, Progressive Field Reimagined is dedicated to creating a long-lasting impact in the city of Cleveland and beyond through construction to improve and extend the life of the ballpark, as well as to provide an enhanced fan experience.

Fans will be able to experience some of the new ballpark enhancements on Opening Day 2024. These include the open-air Terrace Garden space in left field with improved sight lines to the city and expansive views of the ballpark, as well as open patio-style seating and drink rails for Standing Room Only purchasers. Another addition is the Paul Davis Pennant District in right field, which will feature an open-air space for hosting both larger and smaller group outings. The Paul Davis Pennant District will also play host to multiple unique, ticketed events in 2024, including an Oktoberfest and Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Construction will continue throughout the 2024 season around the Terrace Garden and Terrace Hall areas, with all renovations expected to be completed by the start of the 2025 season. Blue seating was installed in Progressive Field’s Lower Bowl during the offseason, and the entire ballpark is projected to have all new blue seating by the start of the 2026 season. For more information and updates on Progressive Field renovations, including ballpark areas under construction impacting the fan experience during the 2024 season, visit CLEGuardians.com/renovations.

Due to renovations of the ballpark, the Box Office will no longer be an option for fans to purchase tickets. All tickets need to be purchased digitally.

John Adams Bleachers Signage

As announced last August, Opening Day will feature new signage at each end of the bleachers and on each vomitory to brand this area of Progressive Field as the John Adams Bleachers in honor of John’s nearly 50 years of supporting the organization as a fan fixture beating his drum to rally the team.

Cashless and Guards Wallet

Effective at the start of the 2024 season, Progressive Field will be a cashless venue. All purchases inside the ballpark must be made with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Guards Wallet in the MLB Ballpark app, which allows for quick and easy payments around Progressive Field. Additionally, and at no charge, fans will be able to convert cash to a prepaid card via reverse ATM machines that can be used for purchases inside and outside the ballpark. These will be located near Lower and Upper Level Fan Services (behind sections 153 and 550), the left field gate and right field neighborhood area.

Progressive Field Ballpark Pass

For just $49 per month, the Ballpark Pass includes a mobile Standing Room Only ticket to every Guardians home game in that month. Fans who want to be notified when Ballpark Passes become available can sign up at CLEGuardians.com/BallparkPass.
