Brewers announce Spring Training schedule

This is probably only exciting for those of us that are already finding themselves hard up for baseball. The two biggest stories from the release are that the Brewers end Spring Training at Chase Field playing the Arizona Diamondbacks (whom they defeated in the NLDS) and that this may be the final Spring Training that the Brewers play in Maryvale, AZ. The Brewers' contract with Maryvale expires after the 2012 season. Maryvale is notorious for being a somewhat "hard" part of the Phoenix area and the Brewers have to be careful about having fans in the area in the evening hours. The facilities, however, are nice. It will be interesting to see what the Brewers decide to do. This will be a developing story, as we haven't really had any hint as to whether the Brewers will stay in Arizona or look to move their Spring Training facilities to Florida's Citrus League.
