One of the best things about seeing a game in Milwaukee is that, Ryan Braun or not, this is a baseball city. After taking the train from Chicago to the Milwaukee Airport (not the sexiest place to stay) I cabbed it downtown and spent a few hours exploring a pretty, but very quiet part of town. I took the express 90 bus to Miller Park and settled into a quality experience. While I wasn’t driving I could appreciate the vast parking lot and the tailgating going on. Neither team was remarkable but the game day experience of sitting 3 rows back from home plate was as good as it gets.

Helfaer Field, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a Little League baseball field that is located directly next to Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. Along the left field concourse, there is a marker to designate where the former Milwaukee County Stadium home plate was. Helfaer Field has dimensions of 200′ to left, center, and right fields. Many little league and softball games are played at Helfaer Field throughout the spring, summer and autumn. (From Wikipedia)
