MLB: Brewers’ Miller Park damaged by flooding


Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers’ ballpark sustained significant flood damage during a strong storm early Friday morning, but team officials expect cleanup to be completed in time for the team’s homestand next week.

Brewers spokesman Tyler Barnes said Miller Park’s service level was flooded with water up to knee-deep in some places — including ankle-deep water in the clubhouse, forcing crews to tear out carpeting and remove furniture. Barnes said contents of players’ lockers was not damaged and the field itself was not affected.
Barnes said the ballpark was functioning on backup power as of Friday afternoon.
