The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a change for the date of Fan Appreciation night from Thursday to Wednesday, September 27. The change comes to avoid a conflict with the Packers who have a game that Thursday evening.

In addition the start time for the Thursday, September 28 contest versus the Cincinnati Reds has been moved up from 7:10 PM to 3:10 PM.

“We recognize that many of our fans also have high interest in watching Packers games, and the Thursday night NFL schedule presented a direct conflict with our game time and Fan Appreciation events,” said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. “By moving the Thursday start time earlier and shifting Fan Appreciation Night from Thursday to Wednesday, we’re able to avoid those conflicts and accommodate our fans.”
