STOP 5: Milwaukee, Wisconsin


Miller Park is the Brewers' new(ish) home located just beyond downtown Milwaukee off the freeway. It's surrounded by lovely freeway, and that's about it. Oh, and parking lots too.

The parking lots are more than just concrete slabs for Brewers fans, however - they're party zones! Tailgating is allowed and even encouraged, alcohol and all, and we felt like the odd men out because we parked and immediately walked to the stadium instead of setting up lawn chairs portable awnings and grilling up some burgers.



The park has one of those new-fangled retractable roofs - this one opens and closes like a fan - it was open on Monday. The ballpark feels larger than some and is rather industrial in appearance. It seems to fit the city though.















The view from our seats. The Brewers were playing our Washington Nationals andbeat our team 6-1.











Even though we were cheering for the Nats, the Brewers fans gave us a friendly hard time and even took a pic of us by the field.










Next Stop: Cleveland, OH
