Concessions Fire Smoke Forces Miller Park Roof Opening

Another use for retractable roofs comes to us from Miller Park in Milwaukee, where a grease fire at a kettle corn kiosk on the main concourse sent so much smoke wafting into right-field seating sections Friday night that the stadium's overhead sliding panels had to be cracked a bit to exhaust the fumes and introduce some fresh air.

Still, a haze hung over the outfield from the sixth inning on as the Brewers opened a three-game series against St. Louis. The fire was extinguished, and no injuries were reported.
