MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Another amendment to the American Family Field improvements bill is being offered.
Republican Senator Dan Feyen of Fond du Lac said his amendment is aimed at building enough Senate support to pass the bill already approved in the Assembly.
A $36.1 million reduction in the state contribution would be covered through a ticket tax on non-Brewers events. The Brewers would pay an additional $10 million, for a total of $150.7 million.
The commitment from Milwaukee County and the city would remain at $135 million over the life of the deal, which would run through 2050.
The overall price tag would be $661.5 million, a reduction from the Assembly package of $687.2 million.
