Madison at Milwaukee game status

[brewerjamie15]

I've been checking into fields for us to play at and unfortunately, with the latest MMSD fiasco of poisoning all the MPS parks with PCB laden fertilizers, obtaining a field is very difficult right now. All available fields seem to be reserved or taken over for Municipal League games both softball and baseball.

Unfortunately it appears as though our best chance at a field is going to be mid or late September.

If you are all still interested please let me know and I would be happy to set up a reservation. At this time though, I'm hesitant to schedule anything because we had originally wanted to do an August game. This won't be happening in the Milwaukee area.

Jamie, I hope you checked with the county as they have like 80 million fields to choose from.

As bball said in the other thread, Wilson and Zablocki are some of your nicer fields and I'm sure they'll be open on a Saturday afternoon in mid August.

We could always find a field just outside of Milwaukee too.

 

Also, if we are doing this in Aug. I can't make it on the 17th, 18th, and 19th. The Radman can't make those dates as well. We have a softball tournament that weekend. Hopefully it doesn't end up on that weekend.

I did check, and as far as NON- MPS fields or Milwaukee fields that are polluted go, most were booked up for the next few weeks.

I"m trying to come up with a happy alternative though.

I can do a September game but more than likely not August.

I called the Waukesha Parks Department and Saratoga is booked through the 18th with a tournament.

 

I talked to the guy who runs the Brookfield department and he suggested Krueger Park. It has two fenced in fields and lots of other open space. It would be first come, first serve. He wouldn't take a reservation for a non-Brookfield team, but their leagues are done for the summer anyhow.

i would bet that wilson park field #1 (next to the stadium field) would be available on weekend afternoons.

 

414.257.8005 if you want to pay the rental fee. it is a pretty nice field.

I'll be home the weekend of September 9th if we can do it then.
