Brewers Encourage Fans to be in Seats No Later Than 12-15 PM Sunday for Uecker Ceremony
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers are encouraging fans to arrive early on Sunday, August 24 with parking lots opening at 10 a.m., and gates to American Family Field opening at 10:30 a.m.
Most importantly, fans should plan to be in their seats no later than 12:15 p.m. for the start of a very special live pregame program hosted by Bob Costas, a broadcasting legend and close friend of Uecker for decades.
*Fans will want to arrive early on game day to experience one-of-a-kind Uecker memorabilia on display in four locations – one on each level of the ballpark.
*A number of special guests from Bob’s life of building family and friendships across the world will participate in the pregame program and will be featured during in-game activities and interviews.
*A limited-edition retail collection honoring Uecker will be available August 24 at all retail locations at American Family Field, including a pop-up location on the Loge Level. Items produced are expected to sell out that day. The items include a special poster from original work created by artist Ryan Duggan. The poster and other apparel/novelty items include references to Uecker’s iconic tag lines, his Milwaukee baseball career and his career as a worldwide celebrated entertainer. A portion of proceeds will benefit three charities supporting by Uecker throughout his career: The Wounded Warrior Project, The ALS Association and the Bob Uecker Chair for Cancer Research.
*Ilene Graff, who played Marsha Cameron Owens in the Mr. Belvedere TV show, will sing the National Anthem.
*The Uecker memorial uniform patch will be available for purchase at the main Brewers Team Store for one day only, to apply to jerseys purchased that day and existing purchased jerseys.
*All charitable proceeds from the 50/50 raffle that day will benefit charities supported by Uecker.
