Sensory processing disorder is something that a lot of us don’t realize exists, and when we do, we take it for granted that it doesn’t affect us. For people with SPD, the loud noises and crowds at a Major League Baseball game can make it impossible to attend without endless stress.
To solve this issue, the Cleveland Indians have partnered with KultureCity — an Alabama-based non-profit that focused on making large venues and locations across the country more accessible to those with Autism or other SPD’s — to make Progressive Field just the third MLB stadium to be “certified sensory inclusive,” along with the Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals.
