Milwaukee Brewers - August 19, 2014

The Milwaukee Brewers, also known as the food-gasm stadium, is the perfect stadium for people who love to eat.

First, there is HUGE tailgating action in the parking lot prior to games.  We have never seen so many people tailgating for a baseball game.  And I'm not just talking about throwing a few dogs on a grill.  These were elaborate spreads two picnic tables long loaded down with grilled bratwurst, grilled corn, salad, desserts and oceans of beer.  The parking lot smelled like heaven.  It made me want to know a Brewers fan so that I could join the fun.

The plaza was pretty cool, with a workers statue, as well as a statue of Hank Aaron.

There was a huge kids area in the stadium with tons of games to try.  Owen and Lee hit batting practice while Aliyah and I scoped out the food.  Once again, Lee and Owen were victorious in snagging a ball in batting practice.


The entire stadium sang the national anthem.  It was amazing.  I actually hate when someone comes out to sing the anthem and everyone just listens like it's a concert.  The national anthem is meant to be sung collectively or communally.  There were 42,000+ people there on a weeknight game.  The crowd roared.

The game was a double-fest, featuring 9 doubles!

After the 7th inning stretch, there was a beer barrel polka.  Everyone sang and danced and it was such good fun.  TC (the mascot) had a two story slide in center field.

Okay, let's talk food.  Oh my goodness, the food!  I don't know which was better the spaghetti stuffed meatball or the beef brisket parfait or the enormous baked potato.
