The Milwaukee Brewers said Thursday that they plan to scrap the Restaurant To Be Named Later concept at American Family Field.
The ballclub said in a statement that "major renovation plans are underway" for the space where the restaurant is located in left field.
The team didn't say exactly what it plans to do with the space.
“This initiative involves a complete reimagination of the facility with a new concept that will be a great fit for the space and fan expectations,” said Rick Schlesinger, Brewers president – business operations, said in the statement.
"Additional details on the new concept and timeline for grand opening will be announced at a later date," according to the statement.

The restaurant will remain open only on home game days for the remainder of the 2022 season. There are just under 20 home dates remaining in the regular season.
The restaurant "will remain closed all days throughout the off-season as the design and construction team focus solely on renovations," according to the statement.
American Family Field restaurant replaced TGI Friday's but shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic
The space occupied by the restaurant "is set to undergo major changes in the offseason that require initial work to begin this month," the team said.
The Restaurant To Be Named Later — which replaced a TGI Friday's — originally opened in March 2020, but was shut down when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
At the start of the 2021 season, the restaurant reopened during home games to fans with tickets. In May of 2021, the restaurant resumed operating on game days as well as non-game days.
