Welcome New Manager Ron Roenicke!
I hope everyone has been enjoying John’s posts from the Arizona Fall League. I certainly know that I have! By the looks of things, John hasn’t just been basking in the warm Arizona sun- he’s been hard at work producing some really good stories.
Back home in Milwaukee, we’ve been busy, too and today was a particularly exciting day…
It figures that John would leave for one week and, as he mentioned in a post from earlier today, end up missing the press conference where we announced Ron Roenicke as our new manager this afternoon.
Typically, John would be very involved in an event like this because, as Media Relations Manager, he interacts with the media on a daily basis. I know he’s sorry he couldn’t be here and I also know that he’s looking forward to working with Roenicke next season.
So how does a move like this impact the Consumer Marketing department? Well, for one thing, we wanted to make sure that we properly welcomed Ron to Milwaukee, so as soon as we heard the news, Jeff Harding, our Graphic Designer, got busy creating artwork for the Clear Channel Outdoor boards:
Thanks to our partners at CCO, we were able to get this up and running simultaneously with the start of the press conference. We hope you saw them up around town!
Like most of the front office staff, I personally attended the conference. I had no idea what to expect, but I came away from it very impressed by our new skipper and I also have a renewed excitement for the upcoming season- it will be here before you know it!
Brewers beatwriter Adam McCalvy has a couple of good stories about Ron up on his blog already, so I’m going to direct you over there to learn more about our new manager and, in particular, his running philosophy.
On behalf of John and Cait…Plus 9, I just want to echo what our outdoor message–and everyone else– is saying: Welcome to Milwaukee, Ron Roenicke! We’re excited to have you on board!

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
I snapped two quick photos of the scoreboard demolition yesterday and then when I looked again today, I was shocked by the progress. Miller Park is beginning to look quite bare!
Yesterday, the video board started to come down.
Last week, the Miller Park sign came down and early this week, the side panel featuring advertisements was removed leaving only the video board and the matrix board.
When I looked today, the video board was completely down and the matrix board was in the process of being removed.
I’m guessing at this pace, nothing will be left from the original scoreboard by the end of the week.
Compare today’s photos with the shots that Adam McCalvy talked about last week and we are rolling right along at Miller Park.
