Questions-
How did the Miller Park to American Family Field rebrand come together?
NP:  We have entered into a 15 year deal with the Brewers after Miller chose not to renew their deal. We're working on continuing to develop signage in the stadium as well as how we will be activating that space. 

How much of the growth of American Family is related to sports?
NP: We have been steadily growing for a long time. We can't attribute that growth just to sports but the use of sports and entertainment marketing in the past 10 to 15 years is definitely a piece of the puzzle and our success.
