Friday's Re-Opening Day details announced

MILWAUKEE -- This Friday, June 25, American Family Field returns to 100 percent capacity, and plans are set for “Re-Opening Day” as the Brewers face the Colorado Rockies at 3:10 p.m. Tickets remain for the game, as well as the Saturday and Sunday games of the series.

The latest addition to the festivities for Re-Opening Day includes a special opportunity for fans to belly up to the bar for service from Freddy Peralta. From 2:00 to 2:30 p.m., the Brewers righthander will sling drinks instead of fastballs to thirsty fans at the First Base Ward Bar on the Field Level concourse.

Re-Opening Day will include many more activities reserved for a traditional season-opener. Details include the following:

• $1 hot dogs will be available for fans all day, courtesy of American Family Insurance.
• The first 10,000 fans at the game will receive a free 1980s-style Brewers t-shirt, sponsored by Northwestern Mutual.
• All fans in attendance will receive a special magnet schedule, courtesy of Palermo’s Pizza, reflecting the remaining 43 home and 44 road games scheduled from June 25 through the season’s end.
• The Brewers will welcome back legends Cecil Cooper and Paul Molitor for ceremonial first pitches.
• The national anthem will be performed by Cooper’s daughter, Tori Cooper.
• City of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has declared June 25 as “Milwaukee’s Official Re-Opening Day” through a proclamation issued by the city.
• In perhaps the biggest news of the day – with restrictions lifted, the Johnsonville Famous Racing Sausages™ will return to their normal racecourse, starting down the left field line and ending as they pass the Brewers dugout.

Just Announced: A flyover of T-6A Texan planes out of the 47th Flying Training Wing at Laughlin (TX) Air Force Base will occur prior to the first pitch. Brookfield native Sarah “Fuego” Fotsch will be among the four persons piloting the aircrafts. Fotsch was one of the active military members who received Zoom calls from Brewers players – as well as authentic Brewers jerseys – to honor active service members and veterans for Memorial Day this year.

The game will also feature the first on-field color guard of the season – featuring members of the Milwaukee Fire Department.

Tickets are available now for all home games at Brewers.com, the American Family Field Box Office and at 1-800-933-7890.
