WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — A group of Milwaukee business and community leaders form a coalition to support a Brewer’s ballpark deal.
The Home Crew Coalition was launched Wednesday. The co-owner of Milwaukee’s Carnivore Steakhouse and Third Street Market Hall in Milwaukee, Omar Shaikh, serves as the coalition’s chair.
“Since they’ve gotten into the new ballpark, they’ve generated close to $2.5 billion in total economic output.” said Shaikh. “I mean, that’s not a number to, you know, to sneeze at. They’re generating a lot of economic impact.”
Shaikh adds his group is not taking side in the debate in Madison over how to, and much to, pay for the work the Brewers say is needed at their home stadium, American Family Field.
