message: "Due to the fact that owner Bud Selig was highly unpopular locally"?  I seem to recall going to games at County Stadium where everyone was holding up signs that said "Saint Selig, Please Save The Brewers" and stuff like that.  When the possibility of not getting a new stadium an possibly losing the team arose, Selig was incredibly popular.  Wasn't he?  I certainly wouldn't call it a "fact" that he was highly unpopular locally.  At least not with respect to the stadium.  Maybe with respect to putting his stupid daughter in charge of the team...
* I would say he was popular until he became commisioner in '92 after that it was all downhill for the Brewers.  Then he handed the team to his useless daughter.  His popularity wasnt too high after that.
Bud was popular before and after becoming commisioner.
When Bud "gave" the team to his daughter Wendy, who wouldn't know baseball if one hit her in the head, things got worse. The taxpayers rejected public taxation for a new stadium. Selig whined to then governor Jim Doyle and had taxation approved anyway. The entire stadium could have been paid off over a decade ago, but the Brewers decided to milk it despite record profits and keep screwing residents of these five counties. 172.58.75.15 (talk) 17:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Seriously, somebody needs to get a picture of Miller Park when it is both during the day, and during a day that doesn't have extensive cloud coverage.  It would look a lot more welcoming. BirdValiant 04:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better Picture 

message: If you're going to retain that section, it would also be worth mentioning that Chicagoans have a long tradition of going to watch major league ball in Milwaukee. This goes back to the 1950s when frustrated Cubs fans used to make the quick drive north to watch the Braves. When the Braves tied for the flag in 1959 and the Sox won the pennant, it looked like a dream come true. However, the dream took a rude awakening when the Dodgers beat the Braves in a playoff and then defeated the White Sox. Later, the Sox played a series of home games in Milwaukee. And it is fair to assume that part of the reason Selig was so willing to switch the Brew-has to the N.L. was in hopes of drawing Cubs fans as they did during 1953-1965.

text: If it is notable enough for an official "Take Back Miller Park" campaign by the Brewers , it is notable enough for mention here. --mtz206 (talk) 02:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Wrigley Field]] North 

message: The discussion of Miller Park particularly its construction has a negative tone and fails to mention any of the positive impacts that building the stadium had. The examples that immediately come to mind is that the building of Miller Park kept the Brewers in Milwaukee and has given them new streams of revenue that have allowed them to increase team payroll and become more competitive. --Jacobskibba 16:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Could someone add something to the article about the infamous "Bob Uecker" seats, ideally with a diagram showing their location?  I'd also love to see a picture of the field taken from the seats. Robert K S 22:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Adding a section about the Uecker seats that sell day of game for $1 is a great idea.  However, a diagram is harder as they are in a lot of sections, they are the blocked view seats, however they really are not that bad at all its a real bargin to see a game for such a low price. TheRanger 00:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha, so there are lots of Uecker seats there. Yet not a one in the front rooooow. Wahkeenah 01:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Does anyone have a full list of Uecker seats?  I don't think a little insert box listing them all would be unwarranted. Robert K S 06:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The original "Bob Uecker seats" from the Miller Lite ad would be the back row of the right field upper deck at Yankee Stadium. Wahkeenah 10:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Let the plain name be the disambig page. This discussion has run long enough. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:44, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, go right ahead. BirdValiant (talk) 19:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Thats not necessarially true.  A google search of "Miller Park" shows only 11 of the first 20 hits having to do with the ballpark.  Clearly not enough to avoid a disambiguation page Frank Anchor Talk to me (R-OH) 19:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  The DAB page is necessary.  Also right now Miller Park and Miller Park (disambiguation) currently both show the list of all of the Miller Parks <Baseballfan789 (talk) 19:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, now that the plain Miller Park is a disambig, not a redirect, all is right with the world.  Well, at least this tiny, tiny niche of it.  Case closed.  -- χγʒ͡ʒγʋᾳ (talk) 20:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

text: The results of the Google Search are still true. But looking at the number of page views from http://stats.grok.se/ (for the period of 200903) Miller Park (Milwaukee) had over 1800 more page views than every other page listed on the disambig combined (including the disambig itself). Also, it had nearly 4000 more views than the second most viewed page, which was the disambig page. boelter (talk) 07:29, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Then change it.  When I made my comments last year, I was unaware of the trends that User:Boelter stated above.  These show that the ballpark is clearly the most looked up of all the Miller Park's (although I thought that anyway I didn't see there being that much of a difference.  Frank AnchorTalk 14:42, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

text: You are being generous with the phrase "national consciousness". Let's leave the page pointed at the disambig and avoid this confrontational editing approach. • Freechild'sup? 15:45, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of the various Miller Parks listed on the disambiguation page, only the ballpark is likely to be well known outside of the city it's in. I don't recall any of those others ever being mentioned on ESPN, for example. It was right the way it was. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 16:34, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Feel free to revert Miller Park to a disambiguation page. There doesn't seem to be much consensus that Miller Park (Milwaukee) should be the main page, even though it seems there is agreement that it is likely to be the Miller Park people look for most often. My intention was not meant to be confrontational, and I did not expect to start any turf wars. boelter (talk) 16:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The Cubs template keeps repeatedly popping up even though the Chicago Cubs have NEVER EVER played a home game (temporary or other wise) at Miller Park Packerfan386 (talk) 11:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it was the Astros who played those home games a few years ago, with the Cubs ostensibly as visitors, even though most of the spectators were Cubs rooters. The Astros template could be there, though. As could the Indians, who played a snowed-out home series there a few years back. Miller Park is kind of like Commissioner Selig's "Designated Pinch-Ballpark". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:53, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
