MILWAUKEE — Despite the team’s early struggles, spirits and excitement among fans are high for Monday’s home opener.
The Brew Crew will host the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 p.m., and there is plenty in store.
TMJ4 spoke with fans ahead of Game 1 at home. Many said the start of the season couldn’t come soon enough, and nothing would stand in their way of getting back to American Family Field.
“Oh yeah, we’re going out for opening day,” said Peter Carr. “Rain, snow, sleet or shine, it’s going to be awesome. We’re going to be out there.”
“I can’t wait,” said Dean Medina. “I just love baseball season in Milwaukee, and we need it. I’m ready for it.”
It’s no secret that there have been many changes, and things will look, taste, and sound a lot different this season. However, fans are choosing to look at the brighter side of things and welcome new possibilities.

“Yeah, just looking forward to getting back out to Miller Park and enjoying some good family-friendly time,” said Nate Gentile. “Brewers got a good roster, as always, so it’ll be exciting to see where they end up.”
Fans say it’s nice to look down the roster and see so much new potential. It’s another easy reason to shout, “Let’s go, Brew Crew!”
“Yeah, I would really like to see where Joey Ortiz goes in year two,” Gentile said. “He’s making that move over to shortstop. He set that bar pretty high for himself last year, but I think he’s got a lot of potential.”
“I’m very excited for the season,” said Carr. “I think the Brewers have a lot of great potential. We have a lot of young guys coming up. There are some good pitchers. Once we get them off the injured list, I think we look good.”
