The Milwaukee Brewers are backtracking on their prior, not-so-veiled threat to potentially relocate without a solid deal to renovate American Family Field.
In August, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story pointed to fast-growing frustration with the state of stadium talks with Wisconsin legislators, stating that exploration of a relocation could begin this fall. Team sources then corroborated the substance of that report to Front Office Sports.
Now, team owner Mark Attanasio says there was never a desire to leave Milwaukee, where the franchise began playing in 1970.
“I’ve never considered going anywhere else,” Attanasio said. “Right now, our lease runs until 2030, and … it’s toward the late innings of making sure we’ll be here until 2050, and that’s our sole focus.”
