The four of us went to a spring training game today, the Milwaukee Brewers vs the San Diego Padres. For those who don't know, Dan is a Wisconsin native... yes, we were cheering for the Brewers.
A beautiful day today, high in the mid-70s, sunny sky. Dan drove; dropped Joan and me near the stadium and then went to park. Joan and I have not been in this stadium before; it has been completely renovated and is quite nice. Located in an older part of town.
The first views of the stadium...
Joan and I walked around the entire stadium, to get a feel for who had the best ballpark food. Dan had mentioned that he read they had fried cheesecurds here, so we were on the hunt. Steph had her doubts, but... yep.
On with the game...
We had good seats, along the 3rd base line, behind the Padres' dugout. The obligatory selfie...
A mildly cruel moment, when the announcer mentioned the temperature here and the temperature in Milwaukee...
These spring training games are always fun: the attendance here was pretty close to a full house, at 9,991, so anywhere you sit, you are reasonably close to the action.
It was a good game, especially if you were a Brewer's fan: the final score was Milwaukee 6, San Diego 2. Not close, but the Padres did have the makings of a comeback in the 6th inning, when they had bases loaded and only one out. It didn't pan out for them. Dan was happy. We all enjoyed being out at "the old ball game."
On the way back to the car...
A fun time. :-)
