Miller Park

Wow, that absolutely sucks.

So The Keg will become.......?

The Office

The Cubicle

The Con

twitter reminded me the most famous park in MLB is named after gum.  I guess at least "Miller" tied to Milwaukee.  

More revenue means a bigger budget, right?

I wonder how much being "politically correct" had to do with this?  

And what is Bernie going to slide into, a big stack of shredded paper?  

The team name will change too:

Milwaukee Insurers.

Am Fam Park... blachhhh

Well, not a ****ing thing.  I think there is a small chance money had something to do with it

I wouldn't be so sure.  While money had a lot to do with it, only Brewer brass knows how many comments they got from all those groups and individuals that are anti-alcohol and anything that has to do with it.  I'm sure if Miller wanted to they could have matched any offer put out there. 

Charmin going after all stadiums in Minnesoda?

no.  

After the official name change we'll see how long the Brewer logo stays on that website.

I find it odd that you lament political correctness when you advocate for it with your vote...

I didn't lament for political correctness. I wondered if it anything to do with it, you know a question.  If I was lamenting political correctness that is what I would have called it,  you know like ,"It is political correct they are doing this."  I did not do this. And besides, how do you know how I vote?   My views don't necessarily make it 100% into the voting booth, especially the more local the candidates.  Your assumptions are amazing.   Sheesh.

I'll just chime in. Not a thing.

Back to the subject of the name change, even though this really means nothing and it will always be Miller Park to me, this kinda bums me out.

Should have kept it County Stadium.

This makes me feel so much better. 

I’ll always think of certain stadiums by name, like Candlestick Park.  Or Mile High Stadium.   Monster Park and Sports Authority Field just don’t have the name ring to them. 

But if you are a team you won’t pass up the naming rights deals.   Including the Brewers.  Show me the $$$$. 

It’ll be a bit strange to attend a game at something other than Miller Park, but it won’t change the fact it’ll be the Brewers playing there. 

I’m sick about it.......but I so agree it should have stayed County Stadium.  We’re NOT EVEN GOING TO TALK LAMBEAU FIELD are we???  That’ll never happen will it??  Would Green Bay EVER need so much money that they’d even consider a name change??

It's about staying competitive. You want to see the Brewers win, yes?

Screw the name of the park....The Brewers still have the best logo in all of sports - That ain't changing

Can still call it Miller Park regardless....

"You guys going to Miller Park Regardless to watch the game?"

doesn't really roll of the tongue 

"Irregardless" sounds better.

"I got so hammered at Irregardless last night I thought for a moment Eric Sogard was a good player."

Still doesn't roll off the tongue 

Miller may be in Milwaukee but it isn't an American owned company.
