Case Study: Progressive Field (Cleveland Guardians) protects its field and keeps renovation on schedule with United Rentals Matting Solutions

Progressive Field completes $ largest renovation with United Rentals' 275 timber mats

The Cleveland Guardians faced a major renovation at Progressive Field, requiring heavy machinery like large cranes to operate on the ballpark's soft ground without damaging the foundation. United Rentals Matting Solutions was brought in to provide ground protection and temporary access solutions for this critical project.

The solution from United Rentals involved creating a temporary roadway nicknamed the "Hickory Highway," using over 275 timber mats and other specialized access mats. This system safely supported the transport of all heavy equipment. The project was completed successfully by the opening day deadline, with United Rentals ensuring on-time delivery and execution for the largest construction effort in the stadium's history.
