I love Progressive Field. Not only am I a Tribe fan, but they are wonderful with my son and his food allergies. Last night my husband had a "family" business event at the Field and there was much food involved. We called ahead to the chef, and he personally brought safe food to the suite for my son. He was able to enjoy hot dogs (no bun), a fruit tray (we had a giant one already in the suite but due to cross contamination my son got his own), cotton candy, corn chips and safe French fries (hand cut and fried in a dedicated fryer). The boy was in heaven and didn't feel left out at all. We even ended up finding safe items on the dessert cart. He was able to have a giant sucker and a mini batting helmet with individual wrapped Skittles. It was a really fun, allergy friendly time. We can not thank the staff at Progressive Field enough for going above and beyond for my son's food allergies.

As luck would have it, it was Scout night too. So the boys, their dad and 3,000 other scouts/family members were able to walk the field before the game.
Our crew. Best picture I could get with a cell phone and from up that high.

This makes me so happy.
We haven't been there in so long, but I think I recall your having mentioned them being a safe site for Little Man. So glad that he was able to feel like one of the guys and eat right along with the rest of everyone else. What an important thing for him!
Hooray!
PS You failed to mention if they won. I don't think that they did though, did they?
Our cub scout group just went to an Akron Aeros game last Friday. We got rained on quite a bit and most of us left before the game was over. It had a 2 hour rain delay. I can't imagine having to deal with the allergies you deal with. My boys have grown out of everything exxcept for peanuts and tree nuts. Seeing someone have to deal with food allergies like your son makes me very thankful that all we have to deal with is peanuts!! I think more and more places are becoming aware of food allergies and are accomodating for them!!
What a great night and what great seats! AWESOME!!!!
