Do I still love Miller Park...ahem...American Family Field?…read more I do. In recent years, they've begun getting some big headliner concerts here (in addition to watching the beloved Brewers) which is a welcome addition to the Milwaukee entertainment lineup. They've also changed up the local eateries and I love that Ian's pizza is now an option. Whether it's the tailgate scene, the food, the beer, or the view of the field--life doesn't get much better than an afternoon at the ballpark. Get to it!

I usually go to one Brewers game a year. I took my nieces to a game here and we had a great time…read more Purchasing parking ahead of time made the parking extra breeze. I did almost forget to activate the pass once onsite. I took a picture of where we parked but then I forgot to note what entrance we came in. We eventually found our way out after talking to a few employees. We had seats in the 400 section and made a few stops along the way. We stopped at food booth where you grabbed your food and then rang yourself up which proved to be pretty efficient. My nieces enjoyed some dippin dots later in the game. With already going to my one game for this early in the season, there is a chance I'll get there for a 2nd one!

For those of you who remember County Stadium, The Brave, The Brewers of Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Stormin' Gorman Thomas to name a few. Or Major League the movie that was filmed at County Stadium, you understand how great it was to honor that by a marker to designate where the former Milwaukee County Stadium home plate was and building a little league field on that spot. Now, give a kid the opportunity to play on a field next to American Family Field/Miller Park and that gives them the opportunity they will never forget. Little League dimensions (for younger ages), PA system to play their walk up song, announcers and scoreboard. My son got that opportunity to play here and he still talks about it.

I've been here for Milwaukee Special Olympics events (soccer, flag football) and it's comfortable. Parking around the area isn't hard though it doesn't have a dedicated parking lot. I was sad to see the original historic stadium demolished a couple years back, it was just shy of a century old and they don't make them like that anymore. However, rebuilding (almost $10 million) was cheaper than renovation as the original had fallen into a sad state of disrepair. This is the home football and soccer fields for three MPS high schools, Bradley Tech, South Division and Bayview. The bleachers capacity is listed at 2,500 but I'm a bit dubious. The field is a high quality artificial turf.

I'm not sure how this happened but MPS/Milwaukee Recreation got some hotshot architectural firm to renovate outdoor facilities one or two at a time and they've been transforming these neighborhood little parks into wonderful places to play. There's a century old little fieldhouse that will be expanded, the playground will be updated, the baseball field will be repurposed into an ethnically more appropriate soccer pitch and they plan a basketball court and a shady area for picnics. The neighborhood got to vote on a few different designs. As it is now, it's an okay playground and a dusty little used baseball sandlot. It is about to become much more.

Chances are no one…read morefrom your office will ever read this, but in case you do, here's some food for thought, re future decisions: Hire someone who doesn't have a family interest into one of the teams--this will always taint anything you do, like propping up the weak teams in the league, to levying "taxes" on those that have the ability to spend money to bring in talent. It ain't the 1880's any more. Move on! Take some responsibility for the drug crisis under your leadership, and admit that your office had working knowledge of the problem, but failed to act. At least we might start to listen to you, instead of hiding/avoiding the issue all these years. We all have eyes Bud, and we all saw the Olive Oils turn into Popeyes overnight. Get real!!! Let the economics of baseball rule the roost. If you have idiots who want to overspend on questionable talent, (See Orioles), let 'em. You don't have to prop up the weaker sisters in the league--not your job. If the league contracts due to natural competition, sobeit. That simply means there is not enough major league talent to go around any more....which brings me to my another sticking point: Get some marketing muscle out there, and start developing some interest in the game amongst the youths. I believe the last time two African-American starting pitchers squared off in the same game was Dontrelle Willis vs. Jerome Williams in 2005. Hell, as we move into 2008, D. Willis and CC Sabathia are the only African American starting pitchers left in the game. That's a disgrace, and you have to put resources not only into marketing the game but also developing baseball fields and instruction, especially in the inner cities. Not just a few sheckles--Big Money Bud! In 1975, African-Americans filled 27.5 percent of big-league roster spots. American-born black players accounted for 19 percent as recently as 1995. The numbers have been on the wane ever since, checking in at or below 15 percent in each of the past 10 seasons. Last year's 8.4 percent total represents less than half of the 17.25 percent of 1959, the first year every team was integrated. Bud, you've lost a generation of players--on your friggin' watch!! Get a backbone!!!! Where do I start? That All Star game tie that you personally called off because it was getting late and the teams were down to a handful of pitchers was a travesty. These are athletes who can bouce back--haven't you read your bball history? Hell, Spahn and Marichal hooked up in a 16 inning game (which you no doubt watched back in the 60's), and Spahn was over 40 at the time. What could have been a classic All Star game, turned the "midsummer classic" into yet another one of your gaffes. Just stinks of your typical waffling and weakness when it comes to decision making. Bud, not only is there no crying in baseball, there are no friggin' ties in baseball either! Players Strikes: OK, can't put all the blame on your here, but will heap 90% of it on you. I don't have the strength to go into it, but you represent the owners--'nuff said. Bud, you're really starting to piss me off. How about hiring someone who can actually manage the responsibilities of the Office, who does not have a material interest in it? You muz go!
