miller park looks really cool, is there anything else to do in milwaukee?

- The Sleeper - 04-12-2006

Miller Park was great. I only stayed in Milwaukee long enough to go to the game. I passed by Marquette which was a nice campus with lots of douchey students walking around. There's a casino about 2 miles south of where i was but i didn't have time to check it out. that's about all i saw.

did you ride the slide?

- The Sleeper - 04-12-2006

no i'm pretty sure only bernie brewer can do that

Quote:Undoubtedly, Miller Park's most unique feature is the roof. The only fan-shaped convertible roof in North America guarantees perfect conditions for every game. The 12,000-ton, seven-panel roof opens and closes almost silently in just 10 minutes.

Three panels, each as big as the roof over the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee, move over a fixed panel on the third base side. Two more panels move over a fixed panel on the first base side. The roof panels pivot on a fixed point behind home plate, and are each powered by a 60-horsepower engine, or "bogey," that moves along a semi-circular rail system, or "track beam," about 150-feet above the exterior outfield wall.

Inside, the roof reaches 200 feet above the playing field. Outside, the highest arch towers 30 stories, the newest fixture in Milwaukee's skyline.

fascinating

- Keyser Soze - 04-12-2006

do those sections of the roof remain over the top of the stadium during games or do they move completely out to the sides, making it completely open?

wheres the pics of you banging 4 chi town hotties at once?

- The Sleeper - 04-12-2006

the roof was over the top of the stadium during the game. i suppose they retract it during the summer when it gets warmer. here's what it looks like from the outside
