Miller Park is a traditional style ballpark, with firm roots in local architecture, but also has a modern, retractable dome roof to protect against the cooler weather in Wisconsin during the Spring and Fall. Miller Park is located in what used to be the center field parking lot for Milwaukee County Stadium, the Brewers' former home field. The original April 1999 opening was delayed due to financing problems, which were eventually resolved. The delay meant that the 1999 All Star game was not played in Milwaukee as planned, although it was played there in 2002. With the season's opening day only six days away, there was not enough time to order completely new uniforms, so the club had to remove the Pilots logo from team uniforms and replace them with Brewers logos. In fact, the outline of the old Pilots logo could still be seen on the Brewers' uniforms. Selig's original intention had been to adopt navy and red as the team colors, hearkening back to the minor league club (souvenir buttons sold at White Sox games at County Stadium featured the major league club's logo in that color combination), but with no time to order new uniforms, the Brewers adopted the blue and gold of the Pilots as their own. That color combination, in various shades, is still used by the club. The short notice also forced the Brewers to assume the Pilots' old place in the AL West. While this resulted in natural rivalries with the White Sox and Twins, it also meant the Brewers faced the longest road trips in baseball.
