MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers today announced, with support from the City of Milwaukee Health Department, a new seating plan that increases the availability of two-person seating pods for games through May 2.
While capacity remains at 25 percent, the Brewers are now able to reconfigure seating pods to accommodate the highly-in-demand two-person seating pods. Pods for groups of four and six are also still available.
“Through the first few weeks of sales, we have found that the demand for two-person seating pods exceeds the supply that we have available,” said Brewers President – Business Operations
Rick Schlesinger. “While capacity will remain at twenty-five percent for now, we are able to divide some of the larger pods into smaller groups of two seats. This will create more options for fans for all games, including those that remain scheduled in April.”
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) The Milwaukee Brewers launched a new PSA to encourage Wisconsinites to get vaccinated now that anyone ages 16 years old and up can now get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Brewers players promoted the availability and efficacy of the COVID vaccine through a PSA campaign and it comes as younger people are driving up infections in more than 20 states, including Wisconsin.
“Once I spoke to doctors and others I trusted, it became very evident that not only was this vaccine very effective, but it was also very safe,” said Brent Suter, a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Having Brewers players share their experience with the COVID-19 vaccine, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he hopes it will motive those who might be hesitant to get the shot.
