General Brewers Discussion (Stadium, Broadcasts, Tickets, Etc)

[ReasonablySober]

Anybody have an opinion on the difference, if any, for watching games via Amazon vs FanDuel? Have a friend asking. I know I have heard alot of negative about the FanDuel (bally’s) app in previous seasons.

I watch through DirecTV Stream so can’t offer a good opinion. I have zero issues, but DirecTV is most expensive option.

I've had endless problems with FD. I went though Prime this season and have had no issues.

Jinxed it. Was watching through the app on my TV and the audio would come back about eight seconds ahead during each commercial break. So I tried to turn it on and watch on my laptop with Chrome. It's giving me an error:

"That shouldn't have happened.
It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead."

Cool cool cool.

Anybody know if AmFam wifi works in the preferred parking lots? I’m part of this Cellcom disaster and now on top of not being able to make calls or SMS text since last Wednesday, all data services are down since yesterday afternoon. It looks like my tickets pull up fine in the Ballpark app but not sure how the parking activation will go. If I can on wifi, I will be fine.

I'm not sure if the wifi extends out to the lots, but you should be able to register your plate using the wifi once you get in the stadium

Technically you're suppose to activate parking before you go inside but they'd have no way of knowing.

Here's something with activating parking, I haven't been able to activate it from the parking ticket itself. When I have the parking ticket displayed and click "activate parking", I get an error. It has something to do with my ad blocker. But on the app home screen you can activate it. You'll see "Find Tickets", "Ballpark Map" and "Activate Parking". And that works. But you may be fine activating it directly from the ticket.

Thanks everyone! We’ll see what happens, haha. Sure it will all work out fine.

Although entry lines were short everywhere last night, I sought out that Go-Ahead Entry (i.e. face recognition) and it worked well. Walk through normal security, you stand on a mat (others stand behind you) and your face is recognized with how many tickets you have. Worked smoothly and I will definitely look for it on busy games as assume it will be faster if less people know about and/or don’t want to use. On a game like last night, did not matter as all lines were short.

How was the registration process for that?

Very simple. Just go to Ballpark App and there is an activate Go-Ahead entry place to check. Think had to answer a few questions and/or authorize use of photo and then it snaps a selfie to use. That was pretty much it.

Just be ready for the selfie because mine snapped very quickly and I have not found a way to change it. I wasn’t even sure it got me, but I had no issues last night albeit i looked confused when the pic pops up briefly haha.

Sounds like a good time.

[MickeyDavis]

Sounds cool but something is messed up. It's a 3:10 game (odd for a Friday) and the details say Alumni autographs sessions from 1:50 p.m. - 4:35 p.m. Various alumni will be stationed along the warning track and fans are encouraged to line up for autographs. All ages welcome and alumni will sign special autograph cards for fans." They aren't lining up on the warning track during the game lol. And it says the $2.50 beers and brats are "until first pitch". First pitch of the HR Derby? Some other details https://www.mlb.com/brewers/tickets/promotions/25-seasons

Sounds like a good time.

I moved your post to the team thread, this one is stadium, tickets, broadcasts, etc... MD

Brewers attendance is down about 1400/game from last season so far. Curious if there will be a push in next month with team performance and some more youth success. I would expect that alumni game to do well, another Cubs series, Uecker celebration, Adames return all coming yet. Plus seems like the team will be in the mix for a while yet.

I’d like to get to a few more games yet but schedule been busy this summer.

That's pretty crazy given they've just had 6 straight 30k+ crowds. There is a Miz T-shirt giveaway in August. I always found it interesting that their bobblehead, shirt, jersey, etc.. giveaways are on the weekends instead of weeknights. You'd think they'd want to pump up weeknight attendance. Weekends are already pretty good. I'm sure that's been discussed though.

At this date last year the Brewers were averaging 30,470 and they are at 29,882 now. So down 588. Current year attendance could end up higher if they have a strong rest of the summer. The thing 2024 had going for it was they averaged nearly 32,000 in September when attendance typically decreases with school starting. There were 42,000 at a Rockies game in September.

That Rockies game was the Chourio bobblehead game that they announced as kind of a surprise 1 month prior. Wondering if they do something similar with like a Miz bobblehead game that isnt on the slate yet.

Good question, I don't know how long it takes to make them. But they're so generic looking I can't imagine it takes long. The Miz T-shirt night they are doing is easy. That's going to be 25,000 (on a Sunday so they will not have enough. they want people inside and spending money early).
