Tips
- Know Before You Go
If a concession-stand corn dog doesn't make your mouth water, head toward the left-field restaurant section for the open-all-year Friday's Front Row Sports Grill and the .300 Club. There's also a microbrewery in the park.
- The Extras
The playing field of old County Stadium is preserved as a picnic area outside the new ballpark, and a Milwaukee baseball Hall of Fame is open year-round inside Miller Park.

First all-weather retractable roof stadium with all the lights, fireworks, huge concourses and parking galore

I've been to all the ballparks with retractable roofs; I wouldn't wish to rate the others, although I've been to some, like SFO, Phoenix, Yankee Stadium, Fenway, Wrigley Field, etc.....Ugh, Wrigley is the worst, Fenway, second last. Who cares about nostalgia? I want a seat located where I can see the game.
Miller Park is not just a game, it's a show and there are no bad seats.
Also, I hear this guy (probably from the flatlands) who says the team is bad and they don't get enough fans. Has he been living under a rock? We're tie with you bubba and we are going to beat the Cubs and go on to win the World Series. This comedian guest on WGN says 'root, root, root for the Cubbies' and then adds that the Brewers are too young to win, 'they must average seventeen.'
Then, Uecker keeps getting an invite back to Chicago to sing the 7th inning hymn and shouts 'root, root, root for the Brewers, you can root for the Cubs' - that takes guts and that's the kind of guts that makes an organization.
As for small markets - there are no small markets in sports. If there were they would soon disappear. Green Bay is not a small market team even if the population is only 125,000. If they were small they would not draw sell-out crowds and they would re-locate. I don't think anyone can count on that ever happening.
To conclude, I've lived in Chicago (ten years) and Milwaukee (35 years). There is plenty to do in Milwaukee for a weekend visit, prices are lower, it's a nicer looking city and much easier to get around. My son lives in Chicago and he only goes to games at Miller Park. He despises Wrigley Field and won't go into the White Sox neighborhood.

I have been to about 8 or 9 games at miller park, so I feel i have a pretty good opinion on its quality, even though I am a Cubs fan. I have had seats all over inside this place, and unlike its Chicago neighbor, there are no sight obstructions as far as I could tell. Ticket prices are very affordable, and it suprisingly has a good atmosphere for a "new age" facility with a struggling ball team. The Brewers- Cubs rivalries are shaping into some very enjoyable games year by year. Im not too big on the "Bernies dugout" thing where he slides down after a home run has taken place, but I guess it gets the kids going. Overall, if youre looking for an enjoyable game, w/ comfortable seating, and an enthusiastic yet sparse fan base, I highly recommend the home of the Brew Crew.
Pros: comfortable, clean, cheap
Cons: could use- better atmosphere, better team
Great food! Decent venue- pros and cons of dome.

Food lovers cannot go wrong at Milwaukee's Miller Park. Great Brats, Hot Dogs and Italian Sausage. MLB's best nachos and they offer more beers than a corner tap! Come early and experience the pregame tailgate party.
Sadly, this is all that I can say that is 1st rate about Miller Park.
I have been making yearly trips with family and friends to Miller Park in April and early May only because the roof guarantees that spring rains and cold weather will not cancel a game or be bone chillin' cold. Even with the roof open, the high walls of the stadium do not allow for much natural light to enter the stadium and what does come in makes for distracting shadows across the playing field. The shadows and overall darkness make for a strange feeling while watching daytime games.
Outside of the amenities, of the 17 MLB Ball Parks I have visited - both old and new, Miller Park rates as the worst place to actually watch a game. The food, tailgating, cheap parking and game guarantee do make it worth the two and a half hour trip.
Pros: Food and extracurricular activities
Cons: Dark and gloomy atmosphere
