The season is over at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, which means it’s time for the Tribe to begin prepping The Jake* for Snow Days. To begin, they tear up the entire field — an excavation process that produces quite the visual.
While they’re at it, they might as well bury a First Aid kit in center field in the slim chance that a few bandages would give Grady Sizemore some good health mojo. Either that, or bury a bucket of KFC out there.

  1. You can call it “The Jake” because nicknames are not limited to shortened versions of their long name.

  2. I call it the Jake too… I guess it’s whoever pays for the advertising gets to name it whatever they want…. how many times have both the amphitheaters changed names in the last decade?… I can’t keep up.

  3. I always call it “the Jake” or Jacob’s field. I’ve even been known to call it gateway on occasion.
    I had forgotten that it’s called Progressive Field, until i looked at the pic and saw the sign.
