CLEVELAND – The Indians will open their 2021 season in Detroit, but when they return home, fans won’t be allowed inside Progressive Field wearing Native American headdresses or face paint.
The team said fans will either be ejected or denied admission for behavior that includes wearing headdresses or “face paint styled in a way that references or appropriates American Indian cultures and traditions.”
The Indians said earlier this year that they are changing their name, will not take effect until the 2022 season at the earliest.
