Milwaukee Brewers vs. Minnesota Twins

A friend in Madison, a card show in Milwaukee, and my Minnesota Twins going for 13 straight all on one Saturday.

Seat Selection

Section 118 Row 13 (Behind home)

I call these the best seats I’ve every had for a Twins game. American Family Field marks the 5th away ballpark in which I’ve watched my hometown team. I would not have spent as much as I did for these seats for a regular season game if it had been any other team playing but the view and the energy of the game is well worth the price.

Game Highlights

The Twins started the scoring in the first inning with a solo home run from Ryan Jeffers. From there, the Twins continued to dominate the Brewers to earn their 13th consecutive victory, which would be their longest win streak of the season.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. New York Mets

This trip to Milwaukee happened because of a Mini-STAMPede to meet and hang out with other MLB Ballpark Pass-port holders.

I left Minneapolis early that morning for the five-hour drive. We met first at the National Bobblehead Museum before making our way to American Family Field.

A statue of Bob Uecker sits in the very top row of the upper level behind home plate along with an empty seat wear you can enjoy the game with him.

Seat Selection

Section 410 Row 22 (Upper level first base side)

Originally, I had bought two tickets for lower level right field bleacher but my second person would not be joining me. I posted those tickets on SeatGeek just in case someone would buy them from me. When those tickets sold, I bought the cheaper upper level ticket and made it a walk-the-park kind of game.

Ballpark Food of Choice

Wisconsin Cheese Dog

Wisconsin is well known for its brats and sausages. Likewise, American Family Field has many choices of hot dogs, brats, and Polish. One of them, the Wisconsin Cheese Dog, a hot dog topped with cheese curds was my choice.

Game Highlights

By this time, the Brewers had clinched the National League Central Division and the Mets were fighting for a playoff spot. Still, the Brewers never let up 6-0 win.

• 2nd visit to American Family Field (Last visited 2005)
• 2nd ballpark watching the Cincinnati Reds

It was still raining through the Midwest but this time we were indoors for the sixth game of our eight-day, eight-game Midwest baseball road trip.
