CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have agreed to a 15-year lease extension at Progressive Field.
The deal will keep them at their downtown ballpark through 2036 and end speculation the franchise would relocate.
The agreement was announced Thursday and still needs legislative approval.
The two five-year options could extend the deal for 25 years through 2046.
The Indians are partnering with the city, county and state to spend $435 million in renovations on the ballpark, which opened in 1994.
