Republican legislators have announced a bill that would devote more than $614 million in public funding to repair and renovate the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium
Republican legislators announced a bill Monday that would devote more than $614 million in public funding to repair and renovate the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium — far more than taxpayers spent to build it more than two decades ago.
The team would contribute about $100 million and extend its lease at American Family Field through 2050, keeping major league baseball in its smallest market for another 27 years.Reports commissioned by the Brewers and another by a state consultant found the stadium’s glass outfield doors, seats and concourses should be replaced, its luxury suites and technology such as its sound system and video scoreboard need upgrades, and its signature retractable roof needs repairs.
Baseball operations at American Family Field generate enough tax revenue that lawmakers can afford to give the team money without imposing any new taxes, Vos said.No Brewers personnel spoke at the news conference. Rick Schlesinger, the team’s president of business operations, issued a statement saying the proposal shows that lawmakers want to keep the team in Milwaukee.
