Cleveland
Updated .
the local sports scene
Cleveland is a city whose sporting identity was built on losing well and then, in 2016, on winning at last.
The local sports scene
The scene
The Cavaliers ended a fifty-two-year championship drought for the city that summer, coming back from 3–1 in the Finals. The Guardians play at Progressive Field downtown and have the longest World Series drought in baseball. The Browns are the emotional centre regardless of record, with a fanbase that has outlasted the franchise leaving and returning.
Rivalries that matter
Browns–Steelers is among the oldest and least friendly rivalries in the NFL. Guardians–Tigers and the wider Ohio–Michigan divide colour everything.
Where to watch
The Flats and East 4th Street before games; Ohio City across the river.
