Sports

Few things in Cleveland hold a candle to our city’s collective sports mania. The resilience. The passion. The unequivocal optimism that returns year after year. You can see (and feel) it everywhere — from barstools on Sunday mornings to team stickers adorning the briefcases, lunch pails, laptops and hard hats of street-side passersby. It’s about tradition. It’s about legacy.

When it comes to Cleveland sports, you've got options galore in any season. If you're having a tough time grabbing Browns tickets, we've got a near infinite number of bars, breweries and tailgates filled with fans to cheer along with. The hardest decisions you'll have to make if you're going to watch the Cleveland Cavs hoop at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is which great restaurant you're going to hit up before and where you'll nightcap after. From the skyline behind the scoreboard to the unique neighborhood food options, every aspect of your night watching Guardians baseball lets you know you're in a Cleveland baseball stadium.

That’s Cleveland sports. And make no mistake, when it comes to passion, we’re undefeated.

The Cleveland Cavaliers

Ever since the “Miracle of Richfield” in 1976, when the Cavs made the playoffs for the first time in their brief history, they’ve been beloved by Clevelanders. Historically, the Cavs story could have been one of near misses — a collection of great teams that just ran into historically great opponents.

But it all changed in 2016, when the Cavs won the city's first major sports championship in 52 years. The euphoric celebration that ensued saw over 1.3 million fans line the streets of Downtown Cleveland for a parade that this town will not soon forget.

Today, the Cavs boast an exciting new core of young players battling every night against the NBA's best, with the NBA's best fans filling the arena to "Let Em Know" we're with them every step of the way.

The Cleveland Guardians

Visiting Cleveland during baseball season? Don't be surprised if a bunch of contagiously optimistic Clevelanders high-five you while walking around Downtown. Expect red-white-and-blue revelry in packed bars, pouring out onto patios and emitting a unique brand of local pride. Sure, they’ve had a few drinks, but this is Cleveland. For fans of the oldest and most successful team in the city's history, hope springs eternal on the corner of Carnegie and Ontario — always.
