MILWAUKEE -- After exploring Spring Training sites elsewhere, the Brewers are poised to stay put at Maryvale Baseball Park for another quarter century.
A proposal to significantly overhaul the 20-year-old complex appeared Thursday on the agenda for a Nov. 15 meeting of the Phoenix City Council. If approved, it would be the Cactus League's first stadium renovation funded primarily by a Major League team, and would include a new 65,000-square-foot building with clubhouse, office and retail space, an expanded stadium concourse and a new practice field that replicates the dimensions of Miller Park.
Under the plan, the Brewers would invest $41 million to $63 million in the project and commit to staying at Maryvale Baseball Park -- home of their Spring Training operation, a Rookie League team and a year-round rehabilitation facility since the complex opened in 1998 -- for at least 25 years through 2042.
