11 People Injured at Brewers' American Family Field After Escalator Malfunctions

Eleven fans were injured in an escalator malfunction at American Family Field Saturday.

The incident occurred following the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers released a statement following the game.

"After the conclusion of today's game, an escalator at American Family Field moving fans from the terrace to loge level malfunctioned, resulting in an increased downward speed," the statement reads. "Eleven people were injured in the incident, five of them treated at the ballpark and six others transported to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries."

This incident comes after the Brewers made repairs to the stadium in the offseason. The repairs totaled more than $500 million, with $368.5 million coming from the state of Wisconsin.

The project included freight elevator repairs and overall structure repairs.

American Family Field was constructed in 2001 and is the 12th-newest stadium in MLB.
