The Cleveland, Ohio stadium, which was renovated a couple times over the last three years, currently holds 35,225. When Progressive Field was known as Jacobs Field, it held the 1997 All-Star Game for the eventual American League Champion Indians; in 2016, Cleveland won its league for the first time since 1997.
