#12 – Progressive Field – 3 games attended

Progressive Field

Opened in 1994 to replace the infamous “Mistake by the Lake” Progressive Field, previously named Jacobs Field, was the final piece to the Indians rebuild. After the strike-shortened 1994 season, the Indians ran off five consecutive Central Division titles and a 455 game sell-out streak at the Jake. However since 2002 the Indians have had trouble drawing crowds to their downtown retro-styled ballpark due in part to the poor economic conditions of Northeast Ohio, averaging less than 20,000 fans the past 4 seasons. The Indians have made renovations to Progressive Field to try and compensate for some of the lost attendance by creating more fan-friendly amenities like Heritage Park in CF, a Party Deck in RF and a Kids Clubhouse in an area once utilized for Suite seats.
