They were playing against Chicago, so we knew it would be exciting, and it definitely was. There were about three player fights--showing some serious passion, but nothing too wild. The seats were comfortable, and even from the side, we had a good view of the game. The energy from the crowd was fantastic, though the cowbells got a bit much after a while--can't fault the team spirit, though! We found street parking nearby, which was a nice bonus, and the arena itself was fun to be in. Seeing the balloon and fan tron added to the experience. Overall, a really entertaining night, and I'd definitely come back for another game!

The modern day Milwaukee Brewers was established in 1968 as the Seattle Pilots, which was then moved a year later to Milwaukee by owner Bud Selig, who also became the MLB baseball commissioner in 1998. He held the title of acting commissioner since 1992. Actually, the original Milwaukee Brewers was established in 1901, which then became the present day Baltimore Orioles. So when Selig moved the team to Milwaukee, they became the official Brewers again. They also played in the American League from 1969 to 1997. They were in the West Division from 1968 to 1971, then reassigned to the East Division from 1972 to 1993, then reassigned again to the Central Division from 1994 to 1997. In 1998, they changed conference to the National League staying in the Central Division to present day. The Brewers is appropriately named to honor the city's beer-brewing tradition. One of their original logo was the Beer Barrel Man, which is designed in a cartoonish way with a barrel for chest, a beer tap for his nose and was nicknamed as "Owgust" to embody and honor the whimsical spirit of the minor leagues. The most iconic logo was the glove design with a baseball in the middle, the three finger webbings as the "M" and the thumb stood for the "B" for Milwaukee Brewers. This was their logo from 1978 to 1993 and it was one of the coolest logos in baseball. The owners decided to change it to generic-looking "MB" with two baseball bats crossed in the middle. I know lots of fans were upset about this, and they eventually brought the logo back to some capacity. The Brewer player I remember growing up as a San Francisco Giants fan was Robin Yount. He spent his entire career with the Brewers, which is rare nowadays with free agency and ring-chasing among players. He started as a shortstop and finished as a center fielder from 1973 to 1994. A long and illustrious career that resulted in two AL MVP's (1982, 1989), 3x All Star (1980, 1982, 1989), Gold Glove (1982), 3x Silver Slugger Award (190, 1982, 1989), which culminated to being inducted to Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. During his 20 year career, he batted an average of .285, had 3, 142 hits, 251 homeruns and 1,406 RBI's. Then when you think of Milwaukee Baseball, there's the legendary Bob Uecker, also known as "Mr. Baseball" given by the late Johnny Carson. He has been the play-by-play announcer for the club since 1971, and is still going strong to this day. He's also played himself in countless movies and his famous line is, "Just a bit outside." He is truly a treasure not just in Baseball, but in sports broadcasting. OK, being a San Francisco Giants fan, I gotta tie this in somehow. Several Giants players were chosen to play in the All Star game in 2002, which was held at Miller Park (the ballpark's original name), and Barry Bonds participated in the HR Derby. This is also the only All Star game that resulted in a tie, which led to the ridiculous rule that the winner of the All Star game gets the home-field advantage in the World Series. Thank goodness they got rid of the rule in 2016. On Friday, May 27, 2011, San Francisco Giants Shortstop Brandon Crawford made his major league debut and hit a grand slam against Brewers pitcher, Shaun Marcum, giving the Giants a 5-4 lead, and eventually winning the game. How's that for your first big league hit? As far as rivalries are concerned, the Giants and Brewers doesn't have must history against each other as they play in a different division. However, there's a mutual respect between ball clubs and Giants play-by-play announcer Duane Kuiper, half of the "Kruk & Kuip" tandem, is from Sturtevant, Wisconsin, and always has a lot of fond stories to tell regarding growing up in the area and the history of baseball. I hope this review made you proud, Chadrick. Hope to see your team in the playoffs.

Pretty dang awesome, MKE…read more I mean, I know you're probably sort of confused. Students live here? American Apparel/Urban Outfitters/Neroli/Toppers/etc. reside on the ground floor? There's space to park in here, publicly? And for free, sometimes? I mean, what is the whole thing, actually? UWM's Peck School of the Arts lives here. (... at least part of it does.) And there's space for exhibitions and viewings, and it's multi-purpose and an extension of UWM that houses students, provides space for classes and events, and also? Businesses and whatnot. I've been in here before for a number of reasons. The common spaces are lovely, public parking off Farwell at its finest/most secret -- don't you dare take my spot! -- and an integration of public, higher education into the fabric of a more urban MKE environment that's not all Kenwood and Maryland? I like.

This is a solid, solid beerfest for a solid, solid cause…read more Midwinter Brewfest rocks MKE the day after Food & Froth every single year and has been doing so for eighteen now. Held at the MKE Ale House, it's upstairs, downstairs and in the connected underground parking garage... they make it work! You'll see local, regional, and national brews repped at this fest, and at $45/ticket you def get your money's worth. The event ran from 1-5pm this year and it was PACKED, my friends. (And w/ many of the same vendors/breweries as at F&F, too.) Highlights this year: -New Holland's sour (yum, not too sweet, very awesome!) -Three Sheeps' IPA (YES PLEASE) -Pearl St.'s coffee stout The UW marching band plays in the basement every year and this adds to the festive good time vibezzz. A few observations: -bathrooms (man oh man, the wait at peak attendance is rough even w/ the portable toilets downstairs in the parking garage... maybe more of them and on the patio outside would help?) -speaking of outside, a heated tent to break up the density might be a good idea? It's clearly packed to the gills in there, so finding a way to keep attendees AND vendors a little more spaced out would be rad. Just a thought! -the volume on the main stage: those poor vendors in front of the main Ale House stage... the volume was out of control! I think having stand up comedy could be fun in that space, and that would allow beer vendors to still converse with the attendees/save their eardrums.

I stumbled across this event on Facebook & it looked interesting so I bought tickets for myself and…read moremy husband. We bought the VIP tickets because we liked the idea of being able to get in early (before the crowds). We got to the Italian Community Center at about 9:45 am. They weren't checking people in yet so we were able to get at a table for the VIPs. We eventually were able to get checked in and off we went to try all the food. We were given a little tray to put our samples on, which was nice. The food was all delicious - it was nice to be able to try different brunch items from different restaurants that you usually wouldn't have known about. My favorite was Ambassador Hotel's pork belly. They were nice enough to give me just a piece of the pork belly when I asked for seconds. Lucky for me, it's on the menu so I will definitely be checking it out. I think my only complaint is that with the VIP, you get a free Bloody Mary. But the problem is, I don't like bloody Mary's so I had to buy my own drinks (which was a soda and orange juice). It would have been nice to get one non- alcoholic drink.

This was a fun time. So much food…read more Such good food. 4 stars, could be more if they would have had more tables. Part of the VIP ticket was a gauranteed seat... I don't think they had planned for as many VIP's as they had. But I will give them a break since it was the first one. My wife and i got there quite early, we were the 5th and 6th person there, so we did sit at a table. The only other gripe might be that the drink ticket wasn't good for anything but a bloody mary. But I figured that going in, so not a big deal. My wife doesn't drink and I can't stand bloodies. Oh well. Other than that, loved it. Planning on going next year.

Now at UW-M Panther Arena (the old Arena, just west of BMO Harris Bradley Center), the games are high-scoring, and they try to make the games fun, it's just that with less than 1,000 people at a game- it's kind of not as thrilling as going to see a Bucks game, or even an Admirals game. My son and I went on 80's night, and the Wave crew did a great job spinning all manner of 80's music, from early breakdance hip-hop, to hair metal, to Top 40. There's lots of in between time for on-field audience activities, check their website to enter if you're going to a match! Our fave players were Bennett and Pablo (it's just 'Pablo', like Sting, Prince, Beckham...). I was happy to see a local restaurant 'the Simmer' offering healthy food for the night, and people responded by lining up for kale and black bean salads, and the like. Milwaukee sports stadiums need more of this- rent out your space to local restaurants for unique options. We really did enjoy the game, but my expectations are just lowered with more of a small market experience.
