The state Legislature is searching for a way to pay for stadium upgrades the Milwaukee Brewers say they need to remain i

The Milwaukee Brewers “are complaining about a lack of transit going to the ballpark at the same time as they are testifying in favor taking $135 million away from Milwaukee County”Under an early stadium funding proposal, $135 million from the county would have been spread out over 27 years – not in a single payment as the statement could suggest.See the sources for this fact-check

"Brewers are complaining about a lack of transit going to the ballpark at the same time as they are testifying in favor taking $135 million away from Milwaukee County, which funds transit, is pretty tone deaf. Read the room, guys." We’ll also note that Larson’s statement may have left readers thinking it meant a lump-sum, upfront payment. But, again, the total was not really in dispute.

"I never want to hear it said that we didn’t hire a police officer, we had to lay off a fireman, we had to cut any services in Milwaukee to pay for the Brewers," Brooks said at the hearing."So, we have been negotiating on that premise... I don’t want to see a pothole not filled, a road not fixed, and somebody blame it on the Brewers."

He told the committee that the utility lines may need to be relocated, the tailgating experience could be impacted, the reduction of parking could lead to increased exit times after games and the state Department of Transportation is planning on widening the freeway"so we’re not sure of what our footprint is supposed to be or how many parking spots we’re going to have after that.
