GET ME REWRITE: Major League Baseball puts a gun to Milwaukee's head

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/11/2023

The Milwaukee Brewers could start looking for a new home this fall if state and local officials fail to reach agreement by then on a taxpayer-funded package to fund improvements to American Family Field required in the team’s lease with the state, sources say — a process that might lead them to the boomtowns of Charlotte, North Carolina or Nashville, Tennessee.

Milwaukee's population peaked at 741,3254 in 1960 and has decreased 24% since then.

Charlotte's population has increased 1840% since 1920.

Since ists 1963 government merger, Nashville's and Davidson County's population has 54%.
