For the fifth consecutive year, Wisconsin's dairy farm families and the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB) will pair the rich history of our state's dairy industry with the favorite pastime of baseball by teaming up with the Milwaukee Brewers for "Dairy Day at Miller Park" on Sunday, May 16, 2010. The Brewers will host the Philadelphia Phillies for a night game beginning at 7:05 p.m. that will be nationally televised on ESPN. The expected sell-out crowd of 42,000 fans who visit Miller Park will have the opportunity to taste dairy products before the game, learn why dairy is one of our state's most important industries and take home a dairy-themed souvenir. 

 

All active Wisconsin dairy producers will be offered discounted tickets in reserved sections. Discounted ticket options include Terrace Reserved seats for $11.00 each (regularly $15) and Loge Outfield Box seats for $26.00 each (regularly $30). All active dairy producers were mailed a postcard with ordering instructions and a discount code.

 

If you are a Wisconsin dairy producer with an active license number and did not receive a postcard but would like to order tickets, contact WMMB at 1.800.383.9662 ext. 232 or e-mail producer@wmmb.org. Tickets for this offer must be purchased by April 24, 2010. They are available in limited quantities, so call today! Tickets are not available for this special discount offer at the ticket windows or from the Brewers Website.

 

The first pitch of the game will be thrown by a Wisconsin dairy producer – possibly you! Those who purchase tickets by April 10 will be entered into a drawing to be chosen to deliver the first pitch. The winner will be contacted prior to the game with further details.

 

"Dairy Day at Miller Park" will start in the afternoon with what's gearing up to be a mini-festival outside the stadium. Prior to game time, fans will sample milk, ice cream and cheese products from a number of Wisconsin companies. The fun and education will continue inside the stadium as each fan is given a souvenir that celebrates the 1970's as part of 40 seasons of the Milwaukee Brewers - a collectible Brewers Bobble Head doll, featuring Hank Aaron, complete with the Wisconsin Cheese logo. This collector's item will remind people for years to come of the important role the dairy business plays in Wisconsin. 

 

Please join us for "Dairy Day at Miller Park." This event gives all of us the opportunity to showcase our dairy products and the economic value they bring to our state for the thousands of Milwaukee Brewers Fans.
