Miller Park getting extended safety netting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Brewers will follow a recommendation from Major League Baseball by extending the netting behind home plate at Miller Park, a club spokesperson indicated on Wednesday.

By Opening Day, the netting will extend from the inside edge of each dugout.

"We also recognize that fan education will be an important part of moving forward," spokesperson Tyler Barnes said. "To that end, when fans purchase tickets online or at the box office, they will be able to access maps that show if their seats are behind protective netting."

MLB made its recommendations public on Wednesday after studying the issue all summer.
