What is the Hero of the Game presented by Nicolet Law and Vortex®?
The Hero of the Game presented by Nicolet Law and Vortex® (“Hero of the Game”) is designed to honor active military members and veterans for their service and sacrifices they have made for our country. To thank our Hero of the Game for their service and show our appreciation for the sacrifices they make in keeping our country safe, each regular season home game, the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club, Limited Partnership (the “Brewers” or “Sponsor”) ) will recognize one Hero of the Game in the community.
