Everyone was really into the game (not that Brewer fans aren’t). And one thing I noticed about the fans is that they cheer for every player the same. When Julio Lugo’s name was announced, it got the same reaction as David Ortiz.

But I definitely agree with you about the sightlines and the chairs. I could hardly see anything at all. And the chairs did not spring up when you got up so you had to do it yourself- which gets really annoying when the people next to you keep getting up to get beer because there’e no one walking around selling it in the stands.

In the year I lived in Milwaukee I didn’t have any problem taking a bus from the Eastside to downtown and then the special Rt. 90’s to the ballpark, and actually found it fairly convenient. Of course I’ve used public transportation all my life, so perhaps my tolerance level is just higher.

How the hell do you tailgate if you take a damn train? What is the fun of going to a game if you can’t tailgate because it was too difficult transport a grill, cooler and chairs on the train/bus? I might as well watch the game from home and get all of the best angles with a rewind/pause button if I can’t tailgate.

also accessibility as an A? did anyone at forbes ever see the snafu of navigating around wrigleyville?

For years when I was a kid, my dad and I took summer trips to see as many parks as possible. Roughly 1990-95. I’ve kept at it, so given the 20-year timespan, I’ve been to a lot of old and new parks.

I just did the tally for the first time in a while, and it looks like I’ve been to 40. Will be 42 in a week since I’m going to Citi tomorrow and New Yankee on Wednesday. Never been to games in Tampa/St. Pete or Phoenix, and haven’t been to the current stadium in Detroit, Atlanta, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and San Fran. Might be knocking out Detroit and Pitt this summer though.
