A few days late on the post, I am already home in Seattle, but I thought relaying the events in Milwaukee would put a nice finish on stadium tour 2013.
People in Milwaukee like to tailgate. A lot. And for anything. I arrived at the park 2 hours early and realized I was 3 hours late! The tailgate was in full swing, with all varieties of barbeque, kegs, open bars, music, two live bands - the works. There are 81 home baseball games a year and my first thought was that the rate of alcohol abuse in this state has to be astronomical. My second thought was, how cool is this! I can't imagine what it is like for football.
The stadium itself is really cool, with a retractable roof that looks like a spaceship opening, and the roof was open for the game. The game itself was a 4-3 Milwaukee win over the Phillies with a nice home run by Dominic Brown of the Phillies, who is just killing the ball. Not much else really, I am tired and back in work mode. :)
As I drove back to Minnesota from Milwaukee, I mentally planned two more stadium tours for the next two summers which will encompass all of the major league stadiums except 5. A Northeast trip is imminent and doable and a longer trek from Houston to Los Angeles. Back soon with a statistical summary of the trip.
Yes, I am that type of geek.
