From 1953 to 2001, Milwaukee County Stadium was the baseball home of the Milwaukee Braves and Milwaukee Brewers as well as a part-time venue for the Green Bay Packers and collegiate football. The stadium was also the site for memorable concerts and civic events.

Milwaukee County Stadium was the ballpark where Pittsburgh Pirates’ Harvey Haddix pitched 12 perfect innings and lost in the 13th; where Robin Yount joined the 3,000 hit club; and where Paul Molitor chased Joe DiMaggio’s 56-consecutive game hitting streak.
