Jacobs Field will henceforth and for the forseeable future be known to all interested parties as "Progressive Field".

The 28x54 foot 'Jacobs Field, Home of the Cleveland Indians' sign came down piece by piece Friday morning. The word "Cleveland" will not be found anywhere in the new sign. A representative explained it, citing (Cleveland) "Just didn't fit the Progressive Field's sign's aesthetics".

Chief Wahoo is crying in center field.
