Miller Park History

Baseball's Opening Day is always a day of renewal, a day of expectations. But Opening Day 2001 in Milwaukee was like nothing the city had ever seen.

More than a decade of planning and four and a half years of construction culminated in grand fashion at 7:17 p.m. on April 6, 2001, when Milwaukee Brewers ace Jeff D'Amico fired a strike to Cincinnati Reds shortstop Barry Larkin.

The Brewers' new state-of-the-art home was officially open for business.

And it truly is state-of-the-art. The signature fan-shaped convertible roof, a color replay board measuring 48 feet wide and 37 feet tall on top of a matrix scoreboard measuring 76-feet by 32-feet, and four choices of front-row seats on four different levels make Miller Park one of baseball's crown jewels.

Miller Park, where a fan upon encountering the brick facade and structural elegance can't help but feel the reincarnation of baseball's romantic past. Intimate proximity to the players, natural grass, and a unique configuration separates this ballpark from any in the world.

Walk of Fame

The Milwaukee Brewers Walk of Fame commemorates some of the greatest names in Milwaukee Brewers baseball history. It is located on the plaza area outside of Miller Park, starting near the statues of Robin Yount and Henry Aaron. Each inductee is honored with a granite-shaped home plate set in the ground.

The Walk of Fame is selected by a committee of approximately 100 Wisconsin media members and Brewers officials. Players and managers who appeared with the Brewers for a minimum of three years and have been retired for three seasons are eligible for consideration. To be elected, nominees must receive 75% of the vote from all ballots received. Individuals must receive at least 5% of the vote to remain eligible in future years.
