Milwaukee Milkmen Home Opener Delayed 1 Month

FRANKLIN, WI -- Citing weather-related construction delays at Routine Field in Franklin, the American Association has moved the first five home series for the expansion Milwaukee Milkmen’s 2019 schedule to Kokomo Municipal Stadium in Kokomo, Indiana.

The Milkmen’s Routine Field opener is now scheduled for Monday, June 24 against the Gary SouthShore RailCats.

The series affected by this location change are:

• May 24-26 vs. Chicago Dogs
• May 31-June 2 vs. Lincoln Saltdogs
• June 3-6 vs. Kansas City T-Bones
• June 11-13 vs. Sioux Falls Canaries
• June 14-16 vs. Winnipeg Goldeyes

Final dates and game times in Kokomo will be announced in coming days.

“Routine Field is going to be a gem, but construction in the winter in the north sometimes comes with delays. We are thankful to have a facility like Kokomo Municipal Stadium available to the league to host our games,” said American Association Commissioner Joshua Schaub.

A flexible exchange policy will allow fans who have purchased ticket packages to make adjustments as needed. Season ticket holders will receive a pro-rated refund based on 16 fewer games scheduled for Routine Field, a 4,000- seat stadium.
