The Guardians have also converted some of the concession stands into grab-and-go market-style stops that aim to create shorter wait times and increased selections.
Progressive Field will get to showcase all of the new features for the 2026 season on Friday as the Guardians take the field for the first time this season, hosting the Chicago Cubs for the home opener. First pitch is at 4:10 p.m.
