MILWAUKEE -- As the Milwaukee Brewers reshape their on-the-field roster, the home ballpark will undergo the single largest improvement since it opened in 2001, team executives said Wednesday.An approximately $20 million transformation of the food and beverage concession areas on all four levels of Miller Park is expected to be completed in time for the April 3, 2017, home opener.The Brewers are partnering with concessionaire Delaware North to overhaul, reconfigure and rebuild the concession areas and bars. The restaurant group Hospitality Democracy will add new local offerings into the menu lineup, including Zaffiros Pizza, Smoke Shack barbecue, AJ Bombers hamburgers and Holey Moley Coffee and Doughnuts.A critical element of the project is going local, said team chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger. The project will build on Milwaukees flourishing restaurant industry.We are now joining in that renaissance, Schlesinger said.A redesigned bar on the right-field side of the loge level will feature 30 taps of craft beer from around Wisconsin.The Brewers will create a first base ward and a third base ward on the field level that will include 11 concession stands and two new bars open to views of the field.Delaware Norths general manager at Miller Park, Ken Gaber, said 100 additional cash registers will move fans through the concession areas faster. Concession staffing will increase to about 2,000 part-time workers, which includes 400 additional employees.The project is being funded by the Brewers ownership and Delaware North. Planning started a year ago with input from the fans, the Brewers said at a Miller Park news conference Wednesday. Executives in hard hats picked up sledgehammers and knocked holes in the wall of a concession building to signal the start of the project, which was already underway.Uihlein-Wilson Architects is the project architect, and Hunzinger Construction is the general contractor.

Toronto FC is at that messy stage of the clean-up. A year ago at this time, the perennial MLS underachiever was 1-10-0 in the league basement and had just fired manager Aron Winter. Today the club sports a new president, manager, chief scout, two new assistant coaches and has brought in 19 new players since the end of last season. The team is 1-6-4, proving that progress can be painfully slow. It stands 18th in the 19-team league, is winless in nine league games and has lost four straight. Toronto has shot itself in the foot, failing to take its chances while dropping nine points from six games by conceding late goals (in stoppage-time on three of those occasions). On the plus side, all six league losses have been by just one goal. "Every league game this season, you can make an argument that we could have won," said manager Ryan Nelsen. "As Ive been saying all the time, were probably the only team in the league that hasnt been beaten by two or three goals in a game yet." Some might say a loss is a loss is a loss. But hope springs eternal for Nelsen as Toronto heads to Boston for a Saturday night game with the New England Revolution (3-4-4). Count New England coach Jay Heaps in the Nelsen camp. He too sees beyond the standings when it comes to Toronto. "Torontos a good team," he told local reporters this week. The makeover has only just begun in Toronto. Nelsen all but salivates at the thought of the summer transfer window opening July 9. Currently 11 points out of a playoff place, Nelsens goal is not to lose any more ground in June until he can make more changes. "Even if thats 10 points off the playoffs come the window, Id be more than confident well have a very good chance getting in (the post-season)," he said. Asked for the reason for that confidence, Nelsen smiled and said: "Because I like the window. Its a nice time." Citing conversations with such noted managers as Sir Alex Ferguson, Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp, he said: "They tell me it takes three windows minimum to even get a team to where you want it to be. "And weve only had really half of one — or one really. Were starting to get competitive and when this window comes, I think it will be a wee bit different." As a former well-respected player, Nelsen has plenty of ties in Britain. You can bet he is twisting as many arms as he can. As seems to be Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainments way (remember the 1,300-pound boulder in the Raptors dressing room and Toronto FCs "Burn the Boats" locker-room slogan), Toronto FC chose a new symbol this year for the franchise. For the most part, it seems to have been ignored in the disappointing weeks since. But new president Kevin Payne, an American, proudly pointed to the Inukshuk when he met media during the pre-season. Ignoring the Inukshuks original Inuit inteent as a land marker, Toronto FC actually chose the more modern inunnguaq (or imitation of a person).dddddddddddd. TFC says the Inukshuk "symbolizes co-operation, balance and unselfishness." "Each stone is a separate entity, yet each supports and is supported by the one above and the one below it. No one piece is any more or any less important than the other. Its strength lies in its unity. Its significance comes from its meaning as a whole," read a TFC handout Be that as it may, come the opening of the transfer window, Nelsen is looking to collect some better rocks. Of the 19 new faces to date, four — Julio Cesar, Ashton Bennett, Taylor Morgan and John Bostock — have already been cast aside. Israeli defender Tal Ben Haim never made it here although Nelsen says talks continue with his former teammate. Attacking midfielder Hogan Ephraim is slated to return to Queens Park Rangers. Veteran defender Danny Califf, brought in for his experience and savvy, has fallen so far down the depth chart youd need a dredger to find him. Califfs crime? He missed a game due to a stomach virus, never got his spot back and has dropped to the back of the bus since. He has become a US$165,000-a-year bench player, seemingly for no fault of his own. Goalie Stefan Frei, who lost his job through injury and Joe Bendiks acrobatics in his absence, is a $200,000 observer come game-time. Young Canadian international Ashtone Morgan, a holdover, is also watching from the bench these days. Jeremy Hall, who has flourished in the midfield this season after shifting from fullback, says change is part of pro soccer. "Our job is to win games and we havent won so the coaching staff and Kevin are trying to do whatever it takes to bring a winning team here," said Hall, who at 24 is on his fourth MLS team. Both Toronto and New England have injury concerns. Nelsen says his injured list includes Justin Braun, Califf, Bobby Convey, Richard Eckersley, Stefan Frei and Darel Russell. Captain Darren ODea may remain at left back, with Steven Caldwell and Doneil Henry at centre back. Ephraim is healthy and could sub for Braun. Star striker Danny Koevermans is ready to play after a 10-month absence due to a knee injury but is being held out of the game because the artificial turf at New England is where he ripped up his knee last July in a 1-0 Toronto victory. TFC has not managed a league win on the road since. Koevermans is expected to make his return next week at home to the Philadelphia Union. New England defender Ryan Guy and midfielder Stephen McCarthy will miss the game through injury while forward Dimitry Imbongo is suspended after being red-carded last week. Defender A.J. Soares (hamstring) is close to returning and Heaps can also count on 20-year-old striker Juan Agudelo who made his debut for New England last week New England is coming off a big 2-0 win in Houston. The Revolution have only scored eight goals this season, but have conceded just nine at the other end. ' ' '
