The crowd at Miller Park last night was double that at Miami-Ft. Lauderdale's Dolphin Stadium. That in itself is not news as it happens frequently. Except Dolphin Stadium was hosting Florida's home team - one that has won 2 world championships in the past 10 years. Miller Park was hosting the Cleveland Indians home opener 440 highway miles from home.
Milwaukee is a baseball town: period.
No disrespect to the religion in these parts that is the Green Bay Packers - but this series is a tribute to how much this town really loves baseball. I think the new Brewers ownership knows this and that is why they are willing to fund better baseball in Wisconsin.
BTW: The MAPQUEST driving time of 7 hours from Cleveland to Milwaukee is as laughable as the crowd at Dolphin Stadium last night. It doesn't take into account that giant parking lot known as I-94 through Chicago. I heard a few fans who made the trip say they just got to Milwaukee in time because they didn't allot extra time (a day?) to go through Chicago.
