More junk in the outfield, eh?

 

Oh well, more money for the Crew, I guess.

When the Brewers sign deals with Milwaukee companies as cool as Harley-Davidson, what's not to like ???

 

Let's get CC on a Hog, maybe keep him in town a few more years

[JohnBriggs12]

Only question that really matters is wiill it be enough to sign CC?

 

Harley-Davidson could have half of Miller Park if it kept that guy in town.

 

Better yet, how about CC wearing Harley logo on mound in exchange for Harley picking up his contract?

[Worm8181]

The team could all wear leather vests, maybe chaps?

[fondybrewfan]

This could fit in very nicely with our "Wild thing" bullpen.

Looks like it's the area right behind the outside tables & chairs from Fridays. So it shouldn't do much besides just make that walkway a little narrower.

I think so, though that ticket office is what is right in the way there. I think they are going to have to eliminate that ticket area.

I'm not one with romantic notions about this company or their products, but heck, change the team name to the HOGs or whatever Harley wants, if they will pay CC's salary. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't think they will have to do that. entirely, they can always move it over a little bit.

[ChgoBrewFan]

It's great now the Crew will have a little extra to spend on CC.

On a bit of a sidenote, they did mention that the ball would be brought out by a Harley. Was anyone else at the game against the Braves this year when they did this? I was lucky enough to be sitting a couple rows behind Attanasio for this game and definitely remember them doing this. The guy kinda flew up the line on the bike and then delivered the ball when the Bench Coaches were exchanging lineup cards. I remember Simmons turning around and there was a guy standing on the field in a leather jacket. He kinda looked at him like "who the heck are you?"

They better include the option for pitchers to ride in from the bullpen on a hog. That WAS Milwaukee.

[TooLiveBrew]

Yeah, that was sweet, brewtacular. I miss that tradition

[bjkrautk]

So, with HD back on board, can players "Hit for the Cycle" once again?

[brewmann04]

more revenue the better i applaude the Owner for getting this done

[fondybrewfan]

So how many more Milwaukee based companies are left that the Brewers don't have a sponsorship agreement with? Miller - Check, Midwest Airlines - Check, Harley - Check, Metavante (M & I) - Check, Time Warner - Check.

Only change I would make to that, is having a hot Harley chick riding them in, instead of a guy.

It actually looks like the ticket office is staying there, just that (at least the inside walls) it'll be painted orange instead of the green/beige it is now. It looks like the deck is above the current ticket office.

I would rather they replace Friday's with an actual brewpub. We are the Brewers after all.

[brwrsfan]

I've heard from a Friday's manager friend of mine that the contact with Friday's for the Front Row Sports grill inside MP most likely isn't going to be renewed. Again, I can't confirm this, but it's a fairly reliable source. He thought the deal went through next season though, so don't look for an immediate change.

Does anyone remember the night Graeme Lloyd rode in from the bullpen in the sidecar of a motorcycle? That was awesome, especially for someone of his stature.

[AJAY]

I like the idea of the Brewers having a sponsorship agreement with a major company. But I do not want to see motorcycles displayed the way they are shown in that drawing. I think it ruins the ambience of a baseball field.

 

How about expanding the sponsorship with Miller-Coors and bringing back the beer mug.

[razzzorsharp]

I am on board with this as Harley is Milwaukee. I would even be on board with them having a little history of Harley in Milwaukee section somewhere in the stadium even with their new shop that opened.

[pitchleague]

you wouldn't believe how many people across America (non-Harley and Harley riders alike) don't realize that Harley-Davidson is a Milwaukee institution.

 

The seating idea is okay. It brings more money to the team and I'm always for that. The "first ball" thing is lame, though.
