A new poll shows most people in Milwaukee County don’t want to spend taxpayer dollars on the Brewers’ ballpark.
The poll, from the nonprofit Milwaukee Works, was shared yesterday on UPFRONT. It says 56 percent of people in the county don’t want to see taxpayers cover the cost of renovations and upkeep at American Family Field. Though that thinking changed when pollsters asked if people would be supportive of using state money. About 60 percent of the people who oppose using taxpayer dollars on the ballpark say they’d be open to the idea if it wasn’t just Milwaukee County paying for the stadium. The current plan is to use tax money paid by the ballplayers to cover the 400 million-dollars that the stadium district needs to keep American Family Field up to snuff going forward.
