Cleveland Indians: Tribe Fest remains a unique experience

The Cleveland Indians are a fun team to watch on the field, and Tribe Fest provides fans with a fun way to connect with players off the field.

It is a special time to be a Cleveland Indians fan.

Being a fan of any sports team involves at least some excitement during the year, (hey the Browns won some preseason games), but things are different when a team is a contender. And that is what the Indians will be once again in 2018.

And to get the hype train rolling, the Indians held Tribe Fest over the weekend. Those who went know how fun it was, especially in a larger venue this year, and the pictures and videos on social media tell the story.

Fans are used to seeing these players on the field, so it is truly special when fans of all ages are able to interact with these stars in such a fun environment. How many people can say they played cornhole against one of the best shortstops in baseball?

Searching #TribeFest on Twitter brings up some great results of fans and players having fun together in a relaxed environment before the stress begins in March. It is easy to be worried about the upcoming season, but going to something like Tribe Fest takes away any bad thoughts and makes being a fan fun again.

The team is off to Arizona soon, so the hype train will continue to roll along.
