⭐ GamePlan City Guide 🏈 NFL β€” Browns⚾ MLB β€” Guardians (0.5 mi)πŸ’ NBA β€” Cavaliers (0.5 mi)

Cleveland's lakefront sports district is one of the most concentrated in America β€” Huntington Bank Field (Browns), Progressive Field (Guardians), and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse (Cavaliers) are all within half a mile of each other on the shores of Lake Erie. A Cleveland sports weekend can include three events in three venues without ever getting in a car.

Use GamePlan to find windows where the Browns and Guardians overlap β€” then add a Cavaliers game for the complete triple-header.


The Stadium
Huntington Bank Field
Huntington Bank Field
🏈 Cleveland Browns
πŸ“ Cleveland, Ohio
🚌 Walk from downtown Cleveland hotels β€” all three sports venues are within 15 minutes on foot. The Red Line to Tower City provides access for those staying further out.

Huntington Bank Field sits on the Lake Erie waterfront with water views from multiple seating areas. The Dawg Pound β€” the east end zone section β€” is among the most notorious sections in the NFL. The Muni Lot tailgate across the highway is an institution.

πŸ’‘ Insider tip: Arrive via the lakefront walkway from downtown β€” it's a beautiful 15-minute walk from most downtown hotels and passes all three sports venues. The Muni Lot tailgate is a pre-game experience unto itself.

Corned Beef from Slyman's
Slyman's deli on St. Clair Avenue has been piling corned beef higher than seems structurally possible since 1964.
