Last week, we told you that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was reporting that according City of West Milwaukee officials said that despite the Brewers Stadium changing from Miller Park to American Family Field, the road leading into the stadium would remain Miller Park Way.
Turns out that was only partially correct. According the the Journal Sentinel s JR Radcliffe, while Miller Park will continue in the City of South Milwaukee, the road directly around the stadium will now be know as Brewers Boulevard. He writes, The City of Milwaukee, working in concert with the Milwaukee Brewers, previously agreed to change the name, though the new signage on I-94 refers only to a nearly mile-long stretch of road in Milwaukee extending south from the interstate to National Avenue, along the stadium s east perimeter. From that point on, Miller Park Way lives on. The Village of West Milwaukee opposed a name change over the summer and will keep the old name .

As of January 1st, Miller Park officially became American Family Field. Michaela and I live fairly close to the stadium and we drove by it on New Year’s Day and part of me was excepting all the signs to be already up…but remember, I’m not that smart of a guy.
However, yesterday, that transformation began as the big sign along I94 was switched to the new American Family Field sign. So weird!
By the way, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, City of South Milwaukee officials say Miller Park Way will still be the name of the road leading into the stadium.
