COLUMBUS, Ohio (Tuesday, August 17) —The final Johnsonville Buck-A-Brat Night is tomorrow when The Crew takes on the Kansas City Wizards on Wednesday, August 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Crew Stadium.

All game long, and throughout the stadium, juicy, full-size Johnsonville Bratwurst will be sold for just $1 each, as they have been for all regular-season Wednesday home games since Crew Stadium opened in 1999.
