Tribe fans optimistic as World Series returns home
- Updated: October 31, 2016
CLEVELAND — Indians fans are choosing to be optimistic. Rather than be discouraged after Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Cubs in Game 5, they are looking forward to the opportunity to watch the Tribe capture their first World Series championship since 1948 back in Cleveland.
After the World Series shifted to Chicago, Progressive Field remained the gathering place for Indians fans for Games 3-5 thanks to watch parties that drew more than 67,000 fans. Because the Tribe won Games 3 and 4 on Friday and Saturday, the atmosphere was much more jubilant than on Sunday night, when the Indians trailed for most of the game and missed a chance to eliminate the Cubs.

“Tonight was probably the quietest [of the watch parties] because we were behind for most of the game, but the crowds have been fun,” said Parma, Ohio, native Pat Peters, who attended all three watch parties. “We really got into it and hung onto every pitch in the other two games.”
