Progressive Field

Progressive Field is a famous baseball park located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the exciting home field for the Major League Baseball team known as the Cleveland Indians. This modern ballpark first opened its doors in 1994. It took the place of Cleveland Stadium, which had been the Indians' home for over 60 years.

The ballpark was first called Jacobs Field. It got this name because a former owner of the team bought the rights to name it. Many people nicknamed the ballpark "The Jake". In 2008, the naming rights were sold again. They were bought by the Progressive Corporation, which is a large insurance company. That's why the stadium is now known as Progressive Field.
