Cleveland is more fun in the Offseason

What you see above is a real picture of Progressive Field (home of the Cleveland Indians) as it currently stands, a bad ass snow park!

"As part of what the team calls Snow Days, the site’s centerpieces are a 10-lane tubing hill named the batterhorn that stretches from the middle of the bleachers into right field, and a quarter-mile ice skating track called the frozen mile — the first of its kind in the United States, the Indians say — that zips past the warning track, second base, the bullpens and underneath the bleachers."

Now maybe all this Christmas spirit (ie egg nog) is clouding my judgment, but that sounds awesome! I love sledding but hate driving like 3 hours up into the mountains to go do it. I like the idea of sledding across the street from like four starbucks and possibly a strip club. Who am I kidding, it's Cleveland. There's probably four strip clubs and one starbucks.

Weak. Dodger and Soldier stadiums did it way better in the 50's. Go big or go home!
