Gallery Night exhibit showcases County Stadium

It might seem hard to believe, but the Brewers just played their 10th season in Miller Park.

For many fans, the memories of its predecessor -- County Stadium -- remain strong.

Light Ideas Gallery, located in the Marshall Building at 207 E. Buffalo St., hopes to appeal to those fans with "Brick and Mortar Memories" -- a series of architectural photographs made by photographer David Bernacchi during the final season at County Stadium.

The Gallery Night exhibit debuts Friday and runs through Nov. 30. Select prints of the photographs include quotes from Milwaukee sports figures like Warren Spahn, Henry Aaron, Bud Selig and Bob Uecker.
