The stadium of Major League Baseball (MLB) team Cleveland Guardians will remain as Progressive Field after the team extended its deal with Progressive Insurance for another 13 years.
The company will also still serve as the Guardians’ primary insurance provider in the deal that goes through the 2036 season.
Should the venue’s lease be extended beyond 2036, the agreement will automatically be extended until after the completion of the 2041 season.
“We are thrilled to ensure the name Progressive Field remains through at least the 2036 season,” said Cleveland Guardians president of business Brian Barren.
“As we continue to upgrade and reimagine our ballpark, continuing our partnership with Progressive gives our fans a consistent ballpark name with a worldwide brand, who is also a pillar of the Northeast Ohio community.”
As part of the extension, new Progressive signage will be placed around the outside of the stadium.
For the start of this season, a significant focus is set to be placed on adding new signage at the home plate entrance on the corner of Carnegie Avenue and Ontario Street.
“In 2008, we became the proud naming rights partner of Cleveland baseball and for the last 16 years Progressive Field has been part of the fabric of the Cleveland community hosting some of the most unforgettable moments in franchise history,” said Progressive Insurance chief executive Tricia Griffith.
“Progressive Insurance and the Guardians proudly call Cleveland home, and this agreement symbolizes our collective commitment to each other, the fans of the franchise, and the Northeast Ohio community.
“We look forward to being a part of many more memories at the ballpark in the years to come.”
