This time next year, baseball should be in full swing on a new state-of-the-art stadium, giving the Lancers baseball their first home field on campus. Leaders of Central 4Ward, a community fundraising group, held a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday on the grass field between Brookfield Central High School and the football/track stadium. "When I came here 10 years ago, it was always a dream of mine to build our own field," Head Boys Baseball Coach Jeff Bigler said. "Now here it is, a reality." The athletes — who compete next week in the GMC tournament — will be able to play home games in their backyard rather than at cross-rival Brookfield East or McCoy Field.

With a boost by a major gift from an anonymous donor, Brookfield Central will break ground Thursday on a new state-of-the-art baseball stadium that will be ready for use next spring. A public groundbreaking ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at the baseball stadium site just south of the football / track stadium behind Brookfield Central, 16900 W. Gebhardt Rd.

The School Board voted 6-1 in March to fund one-third of the baseball stadium project, if Central 4Ward raised the other two-thirds before any construction began. It was a major victory for Central, …

How about we make a trade, the Brewers and Bucks for say, the New York Mets. Not a powerhouse, but far better than what we have. Heck, we would even throw in a six pack of Miller and a pack of brats to sweeten the deal. more ›
