Milwaukee Brewers and Associated Bank expand partnership

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers today announced an extension of their partnership with Associated Bank. The extension includes a newly-renovated seating option for fans, The Associated Bank Check Deck, formerly known as the Harley-Davidson Deck.
 
"We're excited about Associated's enhanced partnership with the Brewers organization as well as our increased prominence at Miller Park," said Christopher Piotrowski, EVP and chief marketing officer at Associated Bank. "We have been a business banking partner and official sponsor of the Brewers since 2006, the year we launched our unique Brewer-themed checking. We are expanding our partnership for the community, the love of baseball and to support the Brewers in building an even better fan experience". 
 
Piotrowski explained that Associated is in the final stages of coordinating unique fan engagement activities for Brewer home games. Other plans include a charitable extension of the Associated/Brewers partnership, special events for Associated customers, additional Miller Park ATM machines, and a Matt Garza gnome giveaway during the August 2 game. Fans can follow Associated Bank on Facebook for a future giveaway opportunity.
 
"Associated Bank has been a valued partner of the Brewers for a decade, and today's announcement is another example of their committed support of the team and community," said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. "This is a partnership on many levels, and offers benefits to fans and the community through hospitality, entertainment, promotional and philanthropic elements."
 
The Associated Bank Check Deck can accommodate up to 42 fans and is available for group outings throughout the season. One of the premier features of the Check Deck is the "all-you-can-eat" buffet which begins when the Miller Park gates open and ends one hour after first pitch. The buffet features a range of delicious items including Klement's bratwursts and hot dogs, pulled pork, grilled chicken breasts, baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, cookies and unlimited soft drinks. In addition, each ticket to the Check Deck comes with two complimentary draft beers per adult, a private bar, flat screen high definition TVs, and general admission seating.
 
The expanded partnership with Associated Bank comes with benefits to the all of the bank's customers.   Fans who bank with the institution and display a valid credit or debit card will have access to the Associated Bank "Check In" gate located in left-centerfield. It will provide bank customers easy and convenient access to the ballpark, especially for fans coming from the east parking lots. Brewers Checking customers also receive 2-for-1 ticket discounts on select games, a 10% discount at the Brewers Team Store, as well as Brewers checks and debit card.
