Milwaukee, WIMiller Park
Summer 2010
Game Day Atmosphere: Holy Cow, do these Cheeseheads know how to tailgate! I've been to college football games, pro football games, and many pro and college baseball games. I've never seen tailgating like this ever! There are designated lots for tailgating and the parking attendants leave space in the rows of cars for grills, tables, washer chunkin', etc. You name it, we saw it walking thru the tailgaters. We felt like we should be tailgating!
Stay: Downtown close to the river. There are many restaurants you can walk to, including a locally brewery, where we ate.
Arrive: Drive, park (for only $8) and enjoy the tailgaters!
Concessions: Very abundant with lots of choices. I suggest going with the bratwurst and load it up with sauerkraut. Miller Park also boasts a "secret stadium sauce." Get it! Don't know what's in it, but it is good!
Not advertised: Bernie the Brewer will slide down his slide from Bernie's Dugout after the 1st 1/2 inning and then again after any Brewer Home Run. Apparently, he used to slide into a pool of beer, but it's still cool nonetheless. The sausage race is a must see, unique to Miller Park.
Not in the box score: The Giants' Tim Lincecum had the Brew Crew off balance all night. The Giants also belted 18 hits and scored 15 runs in only 3 different innings. It amazed me how many Brewer fans would rather go back to tailgating, than watch their team get smoked! Lots of them headed for the exits early.
Final Box: San Francisco Giants 15, Milwaukee Brewers 2
Attendance: 29,387 Time 3:16
