Mayor proposes plan, pricing for selling Hart Park bleacher seats

Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier on Tuesday introduced her plan for selling bleacher seats at the new, soon-to-be constructed Hart Park stadium as a way to offset project costs.

The Budget and Finance Committee supported the concept and unanimously approved allowing a committee created by the mayor to finalize plan details and start selling the seats, which will likely cost $200 to $250 each.

The project has already received backing from the Wauwatosa East High School athletic booster club, which has formed a team of about a dozen volunteers who will help sell seats.

Because of the tight construction timeframe, seats will need to be sold by mid-July, Didier said.

The stadium is expected to be finished in time for the fall sports season.
