The latest piece of Wisconsin’s coronavirus stimulus money is going to minor league baseball teams, theaters, and summer camps across the state.
Governor Tony Evers yesterday announced 14 million-dollars in grants to 17 minor league baseball, hockey, soccer, or football teams, 37 summer camps, and 49 different theater companies in the state. Most of the money is going to movie theaters. The governor says the money will pay dividends when more people in the state take advantage of the entertainment options.

The Express are getting just over 90 thousand-dollars of that haul. Team managers say the government money will go a long way to helping them recover from small crowds over the past two seasons.
