Previous location of sports teams in Cleveland. Including previous photos and descriptions of where the current athletic complexes are located downtown Cleveland, Ohio.
The Gateway Project, which included construction of a 22,000 seat arena to house the Cleveland Cavaliers, and a 42,000 seat stadium to house the Cleveland Indians, was completed in 1994. This project revitalized the riverfront area, and brought entertainment and commerce back to the downtown area.
The local impact of the Gateway Project is told through the story of the Gust Gallucci Co. and how it was relocated from its former location on Woodland Ave to make way for the new facilities in the early 1990's.
