Madison, Wis. – In a proclamation that blends state pride with a celebration of athletic achievement, Governor Tony Evers designated Friday as “Brewers Won Our Way” Day across Wisconsin. The governor’s declaration comes as the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to parade their first‑ever World Series championship through the state.
Governor’s proclamation highlights community spirit
“It’s a great day to be a Brewers fan and a great day to be a Wisconsinite,” Evers wrote. “To say we’re jazzed as hell about the Milwaukee Brewers winning their first‑ever World Series Championship title is an understatement. From the smallest market, the Brewers have secured their place in the halls of history as World Champions.” The proclamation also lauds the team’s “relentless determination” and extends personal congratulations to manager Pat Murphy and his coaching staff.
Local enthusiasm fuels the celebration
Evers, a lifelong Brewers fan, expressed personal excitement, noting, “I have waited for this day for a long time, and I am damn excited and proud to be proclaiming tomorrow, Brewers ‘Won Our Way’ Day in Wisconsin to celebrate our World Champion Milwaukee Brewers.” He closed with a rallying cry for the team, the city of Milwaukee, and the entire state: “Go Brewers!”
State investment in American Family Field
The proclamation also reminded readers of recent state support for the Brewers’ home stadium. In 2023, the Wisconsin Legislature passed two bills that allocated half a billion dollars for renovations and upgrades to American Family Field. The Brewers organization matched that commitment by pledging $110 million toward the facility and extending its lease through 2050, ensuring the stadium remains a premier venue for fans and a catalyst for local economic activity.
What the day means for Wisconsinites
Designating a statewide holiday underscores the deep connection between Wisconsin’s communities and their baseball team. Local businesses are expected to join the festivities, offering promotions and events that encourage families to gather and celebrate the historic win. Schools and churches may incorporate the day into their calendars, providing a wholesome, family‑friendly occasion that aligns with the state’s values of community, faith, and tradition.
Looking ahead
As the Brewers prepare for their championship parade, the governor’s proclamation sets the tone for a weekend of statewide pride. Residents can anticipate fan zones, live broadcasts, and community gatherings that highlight Wisconsin’s spirit of perseverance and unity. The celebration also serves as a reminder of the positive impact that sports can have on local economies and civic morale.
