It would be fun to see the stadium without the Progressive Field above the Indians script atop the scoreboard, and with the Jacobs Field logo on the wall in centerfield.

Like fans of other teams who have seen their ballparks' great original names removed in favor of corporate titles, our ballpark will forever be Jacobs Field to me.

As nice as it would be to use the original Jake, I'm thrilled that you are putting the time into the Progressive Field update. Having tried and failed to model it myself, I know and appreciate the work that goes into it.

Here's a look at the old bleachers:

Where exactly was the Jacobs field logo in CF? By the Bullpen?

I’m surprised by the little amount of phots from the early version on Jacobs Field that are out there
