The surcharge is projected to generate $14.1 million for stadium improvements over the next 27 years, according to the fiscal bureau. Suite users would face an $8 ticket surcharge for non-baseball events. The amendment would impose a $2 ticket surcharge on non-baseball events such as concerts or monster truck shows. Dan Feyen released an amendment Tuesday to the Assembly plan that would reduce the state's contribution to $382.3 million, down $29.2 million from the Assembly proposal, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau. The lease extension would keep Major League Baseball in its smallest market for another 27 years.

The Brewers would contribute $100 million to repairs and extend their lease at the stadium through 2050 in exchange for the public funds. The state Assembly last month approved a plan that calls for the state to contribute $411.5 million and the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County to contribute a combined $135 million. Rick Schlesinger, the Brewers' president of business operations, appeared to walk that back at a Senate hearing last month, saying the team wants to remain in the city “for the next generation.” The stadium's signature retractable roof, fire suppression systems, parking lots, elevators and escalators need work as well, according to the team.ĭuring early discussions of the plan Brewers officials hinted they might leave Milwaukee if they didn't get public dollars for the repairs.

The team argues that the stadium's glass outfield doors, seats and concourses should be replaced and that luxury suites and the video scoreboard need upgrades. The Brewers contend that their 22-year-old stadium, American Family Field, needs extensive repairs.
