Spending Time Together
“This is another spot for people to meet up, to congregate, to hang out with other fans and to really spend that kind of time together,” Milwaukee Brewers COO Marti Wronski said in a statement. “Being able to elevate that fan experience, being able to elevate the ballpark experience more and more as we go along, that is so important to use, to never be stagnant in terms of what we offer to our fans,” she added.
