Milwaukee economist Robert Nathan testified in Wisconsin antitrust proceedings that moving the Braves to Atlanta would cost Milwaukee about 18 million dollars annually. Nathan noted Milwaukee hosted about 1.5 million fans per season 1953 to 1965, ranking high in attendance, while arguing the city could support a major league club. The case seeks to halt the move or obtain an expansion franchise.
