With three major sports teams, Cleveland is an unusually sports-driven city given its relatively small size. The city's baseball team is the Cleveland Indians who play at the recently built Jacobs Field (tel: (216) 241 8888), which is considered one of the finest baseball stadiums in North America. A short distance away is Gund Arena (tel: (216) 420 2287), where the Cleveland Cavaliers play basketball. The Cleveland Browns are the city's football team and play at Cleveland Browns Stadium (tel: (216) 241 5555), on the waterfront next to the Great Lakes Science Center. Baseball is played from the middle of spring to the middle of autumn, football during the autumn, and basketball during the winter and spring.
