The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Wednesday that admission for Brewers On Deck will be free of charge for all attendees in 2014.
Set to take place on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Center, Brewers On Deck is a winter fan festival that bridges the gap between the Wisconsin winter and spring training.
In the past admission to the event has required a fee of $9 to $20.
“As another way to say ‘thank you’ to our fans for their incredible support this year, we wanted to do something very special as we head into the 2014 campaign,” said Brewers chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger. “We are committed to delivering the best fan experience possible, both at Miller Park and in our off-site events, and we expect that free admission to Brewers On Deck will be very popular.”
The announcement is part of a series of fan appreciation initiatives unveiled by the Brewers during the final two months of the season under an umbrella program known as “Fans First.” Last month, the team provided $10 vouchers for free concessions, merchandise and game tickets at Miller Park to all fans during the month of August.
Brewers On Deck will feature a variety of activities for families. Details on autograph sessions and tickets will be announced at a later date.
