This is really cool! Too bad for me this did not happen twenty years ago, when I lived within walking distance of Ballpark Commons! ballparkdigest.com/2018/09/17/new-for-2019-milwaukee-milkmen/The Milkmen will play in the same division of the American Association as the St. Paul Saints, a long-time extremely successful independent league franchise. The Saints reported 50-game attendance in 2018 of more than 400,000. I assume the Saints are as creative in announcing attendance figures as any other pro or collegiate franchise. Even if actual attendance was only half of the reported figure, that is impressive. My guess is if the Milkmen's actual attendance is 100,000, which would be an average of 2,000/game, they would be a success. If the video is any indication of their future marketing efforts, I like their chances! Having lived in Franklin for 23 years, until three years ago, I always thought southwest suburban Milwaukee, including Franklin, Oak Creek, Hales Corners, Greenfield and Greendale, was a little more baseball-centric than the rest of metro Milwaukee. It should be interesting to see how much interest there will be in the Milkmen, and whether there is a positive carry-over to the Panther baseball team.

Looking at the ballpark on TV and seeing what many are saying. The place looks world class. UWM baseball will be sweet their in 2020.

Routine Field is in my old neighborhood. I look forward to attending a game in July.
