Look for a massive gas pump if you go to Miller Park when the Brewers host the Pirates tomorrow night.
The Milwaukee Brewers will unveil a massive Citgo sign in the shape of a gas pump just outside the right-centerfield fence, according to the Sports Business Daily. The new sign will light up each time the Brewers hit a home run. According to the SBD, the "22-foot-high pump contains an LED board where the price of gas would appear, but it instead will display the distance of every homer." The new sign is part of a continued sponsorship agreement between the Brewers and Citgo since last summer. During the sponsorship agreement Citgo will annually donate 100 game tickets and 100 T-shirts to a charity for a “Brewers Buddies Day.”
