For Rent?

With the help of USA TODAY, ESPN and a few other national outlets, the rest of the nation has seen first hand what a world-class faculty we have in Miller Park.

And world-class fans too - who want to make sure those who are dis-placed feel at home.

Could this be the beginning for Miller Park and Milwaukee? As a 5-County taxpayer, I would like to see us find a way to make some scratch off of this and possibly rent out Miller Park for:

  • Tampa Bay Devil Rays series versus the White Sox (the Rays are already moving a Texas Series to Disney World in Orlando next month). Between Chicago Sox fans and Wisconsin American league fans - they would sell more tickets than in Tampa-St. Pete.
  • Any Atlanta Braves play-off game. The Braves only sell out the Series. I guarantee a Braves Division Series Game or LCS game would sell-out here.
  • Washington Nationals - Cubs series. Hey - let the north-siders have the whole place to themselves.
  • Any Arizona Cardinals NFL game (the novelty is wearing off that new stadium as the fans realize it still houses the same awful franchise).
  • The Masters - (okay ... an exaggeration ... but at least we could turn on the heat!)
  • The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - a guaranteed rain-maker in NYC

Can you think of any others?
