So is the giant beer mug he would slide into, releasing balloons after Milwaukee Brewers' home runs and victories, both of which had waned in recent years at County Stadium. Everything looks a lot more fun at Miller. All 42,500 seats in the four-tier seating bowl point toward second base. The new park's menu includes grilled Portobello mushroom sandwiches and bison sausage with fresh fruit cups. Of course, some things will never leave the Brewers, like beer and bratwurst with that secret stadium sauce and those seventh-inning sausage races.
Players can instantly view their at-bats in a video room just steps from the hardwood dugout.
They can swim against currents in a new pool designed to hasten the healing of pulled muscles, and their giant weight room rivals that of any college football factory. Equipment manager Tony Migliaccio even has a bigger office than manager Davey Lopes had at the old place. Fans won't have to worry about sharing the ramps with carts wheeling half barrels of beer to the upper decks as they did at County Stadium. Suds at the new ballpark will be piped from the belly of the stadium to bars and retro-chic concession stands throughout Miller Park. Every concession stand has a view of the field so fans won't have to watch the action on TV while waiting in line.
