Progressive Field will be transformed into a winter wonderland starting on November 26. The Indians announced details today for the first-ever Indians Snow Days, running through January 2, 2011.
View full sizeIndians Snow Days will feature a 10-lane, 60' 6" tubing hill that will take riders from the top of the bleachers to left center field. Cost for the tubing hill is $20 for two hours. “We created Indians Snow Days at Progressive Field to be the destination for winter entertainment in Northeast Ohio,” Indians Vice President of Public Relations Bob DiBiasio said in a release by the team. “This first-of-its-kind event will give downtown Cleveland another marquee attraction this winter that will be sure to create memories for families, friends and co-workers.”
The event will feature frosty-fun activities like a 60-foot snow tubing hill, cleverly dubbed the "Batterhorn", as well as an ice skating track, kids' play area and walking trail with holiday lights. The event will be open even if Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, as the Indians will haul in snow as needed - as much as 150 tons each day - to the ballpark.
General admission is $5. It will cost $20 for two hours on the Batterhorn and $10 for ice skating with general admission included in those prices. Discounts are available with combo tickets and family packs.
Snow Days will be open most days from noon-10 p.m. Nov. 26 through Jan. 2, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. There will be fireworks on "Snopening Day" Nov. 26 as well as on New Year's Eve.
Tickets can be purchased at Indians Team Shops and indians.com starting on November 15. Go to indians.com/snowdays for more information and a complete schedule.
