Day 81 – Tailgating

My parents decided to go to a mall in the morning so I just slept in and then caught up on things on my laptop. Once they got back we went for lunch and just came back to the hotel afterwards (my parents needed to take a nap before the game). Although my parents had their car we decided it would be easier to just take the bus to the game.

One of the unique things about MIL baseball games is the quantity of tailgating. Having been to numerous ballparks now I can say MIL by far has the most tailgators. At most ballparks you probably won’t see anyone and the ones that do are just the odd grp of people here and there. My only guess why it is so big in MIL is the football mentality has transferred over to baseball and now it has become a part of Brewer baseball.

One yr my parents and I even joined in on the tailgating. Of course we didn’t have a BBQ like most people but we picked up pizzas on the way to the ballpark. We ate the pizzas while sitting in the back of our truck (we left the camper at the campsite) in the parking lot.
