Borchert Field Milwaukee Bears Historical Marker

If you’re a baseball fan this is a cool spot to stop and take in some Milwaukee baseball history. This marker is not exactly where the Milwaukee (American Association) Brewers, Milwaukee Bears and Green Bay Packers and others played at Borchert Field, but it’s only blocks away from where the field was. Interstate 43 now dominates the area where Borchert once stood. The history of Borchert is fascinating… more info on it is at Wikipedia or
.
This marker sits in a park where there is a baseball field and some other stuff and you can get the sense of the residential aspect of the Borchert Field days with the houses and such just across the street. It was a neighborhood ballpark much like Wrigley Field. It’s a pretty simple marker but I would encourage you to check it out and let your mind wander to Milwaukee’s baseball past.
