For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic started, thousands of fans will gather at Milwaukee s big-league baseball stadium Thursday. It s the Brewers 2021 season opener versus the Minnesota Twins. But unlike other opening days, it won t be a full ballpark. Health restrictions are limiting attendance.
The name Miller Park is gone, due to a change in corporate sponsorship. The stadium is now called American Family Field with backing from Madison-based insurance company American Family.
Crews spent days over the winter changing all the signs. Other workers have been doing things here and there to maintain the 20 year-old facility, which did not allow fans during last year s shortened baseball season due to COVID-19.
