Milwaukee Brewers Tickets

When one thinks of Milwaukee Wisconsin, there are generally two things that come to mind,beer and cheese, and not necessarily in that order. The Brewers haven’t been at the forefront of most Milwaukee resident’s minds for quite some time. The interest in Milwaukee Brewers game tickets has never been the same since the days of notables such as, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and a number of other well known players. The Brewers, having one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, really struggle when it comes to landing that one player that will get them over the top. Since their only post-season appearances in 1981-82, the franchise has had trouble competing. A combination of poor management, a famished farm system and restricted financial resources has kept the Brewers at or near the bottom of the standings. Two exceptions were a third place 91-71 record in 1987 under Tom Trebelhorn and a second place 90-72 record in 1992 under Phil Garner.

In 1998, the Brewers agreed to move from the American League to the National League in order to provide a balance for interleague scheduling and in 2001, the team moved from Milwaukee County Stadium to Miller Park, a state-of-the-art ballpark with a retractable roof. Miller Park is the only stadium in North America to feature a convertible, fan-shaped roof, guaranteeing that baseball will be played, even on the most inclement of Wisconsin days. Construction began in October 1996, with the ballpark funded by a sales tax in five counties. The Brewers contributed $90 million to the project, including a 20-year naming rights deal with the Miller Brewing Co. Miller Park is a four-tier seating bowl consisting of the field level,loge level, club level and terrace level. The playing surface is natural grass.

Weather seems to be a factor in most cases with sports franchises, whether the roof is retractable or not, weather will always hinder the Brewers attendance until they start winning consistently. Milwaukee Brewers game tickets will continue to decline in value unless the Brewers make a strong stand in free agency acquisition’s. Like all teams, the Brewer’s strive to win and be competitive, and hopefully for those Brewer fans that success comes sooner than later.
