In 1993, the Cleveland Indians moved into Chain of Lakes Park after their own stadium in Homestead was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. The stadium served as the spring training home of the Indians until March 27, 2008, when their last game was played there. Cleveland moved their spring training operations to the new ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona in 2009.
The sustainability of the ballpark and its associated facilities is uncertain due to the increasing commercial and residential development value of its Lake Lulu location. In 2011, there were proposals from developers to construct a shopping center on the site, which would include hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and a movie theater.
