MILWAUKEE - There's no crying in baseball! But some fans might have tears of joy as the American Family Field will return to 100% capacity at "Re-Opening Day" on Friday, June 25 as the Brewers face the Colorado Rockies at 3:10 p.m.
Tickets are still available for the home opener, as well as the Saturday and Sunday games of this series.
"Re-Opening Day" is full of festivities. Kicking things off, fans will have a special opportunity to belly up to the bar for service from Freddy Peralta. Starting at 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., the Brewers right-hander will be slinging drinks instead of fastballs to fans at the First Base Ward Bar on the Field Level concourse.
