Progressive Field, Home of the Cleveland Indians

Once again, a team sells itself out to corporate America.

1994, Jacobs Field. Catch a game at the Jake. A new dynasty began with a new field and a new standard. A standard of winning. For most of that 14 years, the Tribe was a winner. The Jake had set new standards with consecutive games sold out. The Jake rocked as the team rolled.

Now, Progressive Field. Only because Progressive Park was taken. All Indians now receive discounted car insurance. 3.6 million a year for 16 years. Glad I am with All-State. Let's hope that money goes to one C.C. For that reason, I understand the value of selling ones name, the mighty dollar. But what about proud traditions. Jacobs Field could have remained the same name, but the Jacobs Family had nothing to gain. SO with that, have fun seeing the Tribe at Progressive Field. I just don't see me buying one of those t-shirts.
