Jacobs Field, the Indians' home since 1994, will now be called Progressive Field, according to a source close to the team. The Indians reached an agreement Thursday with Progressive Insurance for the naming rights of the 40,000-seat facility on the corner of Ontario Street and Carnegie Avenue. Progressive is a Mayfield Village-based company owned by billionaire/philanthropist Peter Lewis. An official announcement is expected today -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Jake is dead.

Long live the... Prog? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Let's take up a collection and buy the rights to the new Yankee Stadium. It can be called:

They can call it whatever they want, but it will always be The Jake around here.
