Indians and Angels to play at Miller Park

I was shocked at the turnout, and so was most of the Indians... The broadcasters did nothing but talk about it all game, and the manager and players talked about it after the game....

That crowd was loud and pretty energetic for not having a true vested interest for either team..

You talk about shocked, Miller Park was probably the most shocked of all. My friend and I showed up about 20 minutes late and stood in line for a good 15 minutes to get into the park still. The concession stands took forever because they were understaffed. The bottom two levels were completely full with the exception of the bleacher sections. Just a crazy night.

The Indians made a whole bunch of new fans in Milwaukee tonight. The Angels made a few themselves. Just one crazy night of baseball

I was there in section 230 with my friend. That slow wave was historic.

Yeah my friend and I waited for about 20 minutes to get tickets and then we went during the 5th inning to get food but after waiting for 20 minutes and the line not moving ONE INCH we gave up. We just went to mcdonalds after.

I was in 231 for about 2 innings, then we moved to right field bleachers. The slow wave was great

A good read from ESPN right here... (Apparently the Slow wave is all the rage)

That is awesome. Joe Borowski is now one of my likable players great comments by him. I was there part of the slow mo wave, i have to say that it was awesome.

Sounds like a great time. I was planning on going to the game tonight, but with the snowstorm coming today my plans will have to change. I hope MLB looks at how MIlwaukee fans turn out for games and in the future will not think twice about sending a cold weather team/game to Miller Park.

For the people who were there, did they do "roll out the barrel"?

That was fun, I'm going again tonight. The Slow Mo Wave was sweet. Hopefully they prepare more for tonight. in the 8th inning they ran out of hot dogs, buns, hamburgers. And if you wanted a beer you had to wait about an hour unless you wanted to try and flag down a beer guy.

I hope that attanasio takes notice of this turnout and level of excitement itself at the game. If he would put a few series at cheap prices maybe we'd get that many fans at games too. for example the freaking cubs games, so maybe we'd have more fans there. I think this is great for Milwaukee and i'm proud to be baseball fan here.

The Cubs games are higher prices because they usually sell out or come close. The first two games of the Cubs-Brewers series well sell outs, why would you lower ticket prices? Lower ticket prices for weekday games against teams that don't garner much interest.

hmm...yeah i guess you're right...i was thinking more for support and excitement and all that. forgot about the money for a little bit. but damn, that would be fun as hell. i mean, the brewers clicking later in the year..lots of fans showing up...it really would be like major league except the brewers.

You want fans bring back 10 cent beer night. I was too young to partake but I remember it being wild. I believe it only lasted on year, the next year they had a beer night where they gave out coupons for 2 free beers. Still a good deal that will never be repeated.

I heard from a friend that said that maybe the Tribe-Sox game on Friday will be at Miller Park. Anyone hear anything along these lines?

I saw Michael Redd at the game last night. He looked real hurt! Good buzz.

Strictly rumor from your friend. No talks of that just yet
