MILWAUKEE –The 2020 Milwaukee Brewers are ready to take the field later this month and while fans can’t be there in person, they can be proudly and uniquely represented.
 
The Brewers “Cutout Crew” – two-foot images of fan likenesses – will join the Bob Uecker “Last Row” statue as a virtual fan base at the very top of Miller Park this season.
 
To celebrate Uecker’s 50th season as the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers and 65th year in Major League Baseball, the cutouts will be placed in the “Uecker Seats,” near Uecker’s Last Row statue, during home games. While it can never replace the real thing, the smiling faces of cheering fans will be a welcome addition at Miller Park.
 
The Brewers “Cutout Crew” goes on sale at 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 2. Each cutout costs $50 with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Brewers Community Foundation (BCF). Fans can upload a photo online and the two-foot cutout will be installed in seats either in or adjacent to Section 422 of Miller Park. Games will be broadcast on FOX Sports Wisconsin and fans may catch a glimpse of themselves, and other special cutout guests, cheering on the Brew Crew.
 
The Uecker Last Row statue was installed in 2014 and pays tribute to the popular Miller Lite “All Stars” ad campaign which featured Uecker’s famous tagline, “I must be in the front row.” In those commercials, Uecker somehow always ended up in the last row—as did this statue. For six years, the statue has sat alone atop Miller Park’s Terrace Level in Section 422.
 
“We miss our fans and wanted to come up with a creative way for them to participate in the action this year,” said Brewers President - Business Operations Rick Schlesinger. “While nothing can replace the energy and passion of our loyal fans in the stands, the Cutout Crew is a unique way we can welcome familiar faces for now at Miller Park.”
 
Specific directions on securing a seat and uploading a photo are available on brewers.com/cutoutcrew.There will be a limit of 500 cutouts produced on a first come, first served basis.
