A Fan's Review
Miller Park is the home of the National League Central Milwaukee Brewers.
Miller Park is one of those ballparks that television can never give justice to. There's no ivy in the outfield, there's no McCovey's Cove, there's no warehouse, there's no Monument Park, there's no Green Monster......but taken all together Miller Park is the
genuine baseball experience. It's in the "middle of nowhere" off Interstate 94. And normally, I go for ballparks that have a neighborhood feel. No matter (in this case). The Milwaukee baseball tradition and culture is captured eloquently both inside and outside the ballpark. Sculptures, plaques,
and banners are everywhere - and each has its own little story behind it. Milwaukee fans are rabid and they arrive early to tailgate in the parking lots. Pre-paid parking is available and recommended (Brewer's website). For a 6:05pm start, I drove into the parking lot at 2:30pm. Unheard of - in my experience. Miller Park is pleasing to the eyes with natural blends of greens and browns. It's architecture is unique - and at first I didn't know what to make of it - but it all became part of the wonderful "blend". Concession stands offer a wide menu variety - but if you're in Milwaukee - you've got to go Polish and try the Keilbasa. Expect the usual fare of "ballpark prices". On the downside, there's only one way out (that I could find) - and the journey to the interstate took about thirty minutes. As I always say, (I think) it's unfair to compare ballparks. All I can say is - Miller Park is right up there!
