Tribe drops prices on dogs and suds; fans go wild
The Cleveland Indians announced they are rolling back the price of concessions at Progressive Field early this morning and the interwebs have been abuzz ever since. The $4 beers, $3 hot dogs, $2 soda refills and 15 $1 dog nights (presented by Sugardale!) have shown fans a concerted effort by the club, both on and off the field, to keep fans happy at the ballpark. “We’ve asked our fans what they want most in their ballpark experience at Progressive Field, and more affordable concessions prices routinely top the list,” said Indians president Mark Shapiro. “This is a way for us to let fans know we’re listening to them and that we value them.”
TribeVibe is listening too! Here’s a snippet of the response to these changes:

Kudos to the @indians for taking up to a 25% reduction on their concession prices. I had a great time in Cleveland – Nice fans.

I’d say that the @indians have been listening to fans’ excuses about coming to the ballpark. Your move Cleveland.
— rick grayshock (@RickWFNY) February 28, 2013
If you’d like to partake in the excitement, single-game tickets are still available via Indians.com, by calling 216-420-HITS (4487) or by visiting any Indians Team Shop. If you’re on the hunt for the Sugardale Dollar Dog nights, the Indians’ promotion schedule can be viewed here.
We’ll see you at the ballpark!
