Jan. 11, 2008 Name changed from Jacobs Field to Progressive Field.

Historians are certain to identify the year 1994 as a significant time in the history of the city of Cleveland. The Gateway Sports and Enter t a inment Complex, consisting of Progressive Field (formerly Jacobs Field), the current home of the Indians, and Quicken Loans Arena (formerly Gund Arena), will be remembered as the crowning jewel in the city’s ever-changing urban landscape.

Gateway was made possible by its own 50/50 public/private partnership- through the support and cooperative efforts of the Cleveland business community, government, the Indians, our neighbors the Cavaliers, sports fans, and most importantly, the people of Cuyahoga County.

Progressive Field is an urban ballpark in the truest sense, both architecturally and aesthetically. Built within the physical boundaries of the three main streets in downtown Cleveland (Ontario to west, Carnegie to south, and East 9th Street to the east), Progressive Field offers a fan-friendly facility featuring an intimate environment. The exposed steel design, which matches that of the many bridges on the north coast, and the vertical light towers, which match the smoke stacks of Cleveland’s industrial zone and the high-rise office buildings in Cleveland’s downtown area, are just a couple of Progressive Field’s architectural features that blend with Cleveland’s cityscape.

Progressive Field initially opened its gates to fans on Saturday, April 2, 1994 for an exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the official opener occurred on Monday, April 4, 1994. The Indians came from behind in exciting fashion to defeat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on an

Progressive  Field

11th inning single by Wayne Kirby. The opener included all of the pageantry of Opening Day, highlighted by President Bill Clinton throwing out the first pitch.

Two Cleveland institutions-the Cleveland Indians and Progressive Insurance - joined forces on January 11, 2008 to help bring the excitement of championship baseball to fans everywhere.What was known as Jacobs Field since 1994 is now Progressive Field.

Progressive, a leading car, motorcycle and commercial auto insurer, partnered with the Indians on a 16-year deal for the naming rights to the ballpark and will also become the Official Auto Insurer of the Cleveland Indians. Progressive’s payments to the Indians over the 16-year term of the agreement will average approximately $3.6 million annually.

Now entering its 16th season, Progressive Field has been the site for the World Series twice (1995 and 1997), postseason play seven times (1995-1999, 2001, 2007 — 34 home games, 1,517,431 fans), and the 1997 All-Star Game. It led Major League Baseball in attendance in 2000, sold out prior to Opening Day five seasons (1996-2000), set a Major League record for consecutive sellouts with 455, and has entertained more than 39 million fans.

Progressive Insurance purchased the naming rights to the ballpark on January 11, 2008.

32  Cleveland Indians

Located in the center field area of the ballpark, Heritage Park is available to all fans before, during and after all home games and is also available daily for special events throughout the season. Fans are able to explore and honor the rich 108-year history of the franchise as Heritage Park houses three distinct areas honoring the club’s past – the Indians Hall of Fame (membership is below), a two-tiered monument park setting that honors 33 of the greatest names in club history, 38 memorable moments in club history placed throughout the area at ground level and the Top 100 Indians Roster as selected during the 100th Anniversary Celebration in 2001. The top-tier rotunda area (pictured above) honors the 15 members of the Indians Hall of Fame who are also enshrined in Cooperstown.
