The executive director of American Family Field's public owner is leaving that position
Pat Goss, Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District executive director, will remain under contract through the end of September.
The district board in March disclosed plans to hire Sigma Group as facility manager to help oversee the ballpark's renovation projects.
Goss, hired in 2021, is helping with the transition to Sigma, according to a June 30 announcement.
'When I agreed to accept this position several years ago, I did it with the understanding that this would not be a long-term role," Goss said, in a statement.
"The focus at the time was to ensure continued appropriate investment of the taxpayers' dollars in this wonderful facility and ensuring a long-term lease to keep Major League Baseball in Wisconsin," Goss said. "That mission was accomplished."
Sigma's role will focus on the stadium's capital investments, including plans to winterize it.
Goss is not a professional engineer − unlike his predecessor, Mike Duckett, who served in that role for 25 years.
The stadium financing plan, approved in 2023, uses $365.8 million from the state and $67.5 million each from the City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County for long-term renovation costs.
Sigma will work with the stadium board, the Milwaukee Brewers and vendors "to make the investments necessary to make sure American Family Field remains a first-class ballpark,' said President Ken Kaszubowski.
The district is the ballpark's primary owner and responsible for most major maintenance and improvement projects.
The district board in December ratified a new lease with the Brewers through 2050.

New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4
The New York Giants battled poor air quality and overcast skies on Sunday morning on Day 4 of their 2025 training camp. Regardless, they held practice outdoors. Here are some takeaways from Sunday's workout. Wilson is opening up the offense The Giants have been one of the NFL's least potent offenses the past two seasons. They signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's most proficient deep thrower last year, to get their passing game back on track. It looks as if he's doing that after just one week. Wilson is going up top to all of his receivers these days, and his "moonball" has never looked better. "He looks 25 again" Not to make this all about Wilson, but he appears to be just what this sagging Giants offense needs. Not only is he reenergizing the passing game, but the 36-year-old is making plays with his legs, too. Holland the pirate Wilson didn't have his way with the Giants' secondary all day. They got their shots in as well. On this play, slot corner Dru Phillips deflects a Wilson pass into the hands of safety Jevon Holland, who returns it for a touchdown. The Giants' goal on defense this year is to focus on ball-hawking. So far, so good. Skattebo is gaining in popularity Looking for a player to root for this season? Look no further than rookie running back Cam Skattebo. He is a high-energy player who is already making his mark with the Giants as both a rusher and a receiver. The fans in attendance at camp are already taking to him. Abdul Carter is a menace The first full padded practice isn't until Monday, so we won't know exactly how good rookie linebacker Abdul Carter is. So far, he's been blowing by everyone. If he continues to do that when the hitting starts, the Giants have a monster in their midst. Dart's best day yet The Giants' other first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, is also heating up. On Sunday, he looked comfortable and in charge, hitting on several deep throws. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4

Cowboys sign tight end Jake Ferguson to a 4-year, $52 million extension
OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension Sunday. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus. A fourth-round pick in 2022, Ferguson is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He had 59 catches for 494 yards but did not have a touchdown reception last season. The previous year, he posted career highs with 71 catches for 761 yards and five TDs. Ferguson dealt with knee and concussion issues last year but still started 14 games. This deal comes as two-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons remains in negotiations for his own extension, entering the final season of his rookie deal. Parsons said recently he had not seen much progress in those talks. ___ AP NFL:
