My friends (look at these tough guys) Brendan, Bill, Todd, Matt, and I made the trip to Milwaukee to see the Cubs take on the Brewers. The place was at least 60% Cubs fans.
Compared to old County Stadium this place was a palace, but there definitely were some areas that need immediate attention: THEY RAN OUT OF BRATS! How does a stadium just outside Milwaukee, Wisconsin run out of friggin' bratwurst? At any rate, they didn't run out of beer.
The Cubs managed to lose this one, but we still had a hell of a time throwing jeers at the various Milwaukee fans that dragged their sorry asses to the ballpark.
In two years this beautiful stadium will be a ghost town. Can there be a more god-forsaken place on the Earth than Wisconsin? |
