The Milwaukee Brewers won’t get their new stadium before 2000, costing the team the 1999 All-Star game. The good news for the Brewers, however, is that the stadium can be built with a retractable roof within its $250-million budget. That assessment came after Gov. Tommy Thompson met with stadium contractors, engineers, business leaders and local officials. . . . The Brewers called up reliever Kevin Wickander from triple-A New Orleans and designated Brian Givens (1-3 with a 12.86 ERA in four starts) for assignment.
