===Concerts=== Progressive Field is occasionally used as a concert venue. It was first used for a concert on August 12, 1995 during its second season of use, when [[Jimmy Buffett]] played at the ballpark as part of his Domino College Tour. The panels set on the outfield grass to hold the stage, however, caused visible damage to the playing surface, leading Indians owner Richard Jacobs to ban concerts at the facility.<ref name=concerts>{{cite news |title=Progressive Field ready for challenge of concerts in back-to-back days |url=http://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/music/progressive-field-ready-for-challenge-of-concerts-in-back-to-back-days/456879380 |work=WKYC.com |date=July 14, 2017 |access-date=January 6, 2018}}</ref> Concerts returned to the ballpark in 2011 when the Indians hosted the Indians Music Festival, which featured [[Brad Paisley]] and [[Blake Shelton]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Brad Paisley to headline Indians Music Festival Saturday at Progressive Field |url=http://www.cleveland.com/music/index.ssf/2011/06/brad_paisley_to_headline_india.html |date=June 8, 2011 |author=Yarborough, Chuck |newspaper=[[The Plain Dealer]] |access-date=January 6, 2018}}</ref> Three years later, in 2014, [[Jason Aldean]] played at Progressive Field as part of his [[Burn It Down Tour]], a performance that drew 40,516 fans and included [[Florida Georgia Line]], [[Miranda Lambert]], and [[Tyler Farr]].
