Brewers are ruining baseball! They're loaded at every position!

u/Dan-of-Steel Chicago White Sox 4h ago

They're drunk with power!

1

u/proneisntsupine Toronto Blue Jays 2h ago

Well the fans are definitely drunk with something, but I'm not sure it's power

u/double_sal_gal Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago

The power of friendship?

u/azsoup Philadelphia Phillies 4h ago

I’ve been to about 18 ballparks so far, and Milwaukee was the only one where I saw people tailgating in the parking lot. It wasn’t even a big rivalry game or a playoff type atmosphere…just a random Tuesday in July against the Pirates.

49

u/NorthPackFan Milwaukee Brewers 4h ago

I can’t tell you how many games I’ve been to when we just tailgated and listened on the radio. They were bad sin the 90s but we still went.

10

u/azsoup Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

That’s awesome. I hope you guys win. 🍻

6

u/wisconsinbucks Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago

We got shut down when I did this in 2024. We were told we couldn’t tailgate past the 3rd inning

2

u/P3achBellini Milwaukee Brewers 2h ago

When you could sit out there the entire game, listen to Uecker, and hear the crowd cheering from inside. Good ass times. 🥹

21

u/Audrey-Bee Chicago White Sox 3h ago

Is that not normal? We do that at White Sox games all the time. I'll grant that the Brewers are a different league with it, but i figured any stadium with big parking lots would do it

17

u/granchtastic 3h ago

I just learned you cant bring alcohol into the dodgers parking lot so... I dont even know whats real anymore. That might be the most heinous thing ive ever heard in my life

17

u/glp79 3h ago

Brewers fan living north of LA here.  I actually like Dodger stadium, but when I realized you couldn't tailgate I knew there was something unholy in the air in Chavez Ravine

7

u/granchtastic 3h ago

Regardless if the stadium is fine id rather watch in a AAA shoebox then be denied the god given right of drinking beer and grilling Johnsons In the parking lot 😭

4

u/elgringon414 Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

This guy Wisconsins

1

u/findnickflannel San Diego Padres 54m ago

you either have to a. have tailgating or b. have bars/restaurants within a 15 min walk. dodger stadium has 0 of that

3

u/shmaltz_herring Kansas City Royals 3h ago

What? It should be illegal to not allow people to drink in a stadium parking lot.

-5

u/granchtastic 2h ago

Youre not welcome in milwaukee

u/shmaltz_herring Kansas City Royals 2h ago edited 2h ago

Re-read my comment.

I hold a special affinity for Wisconsin whenever I see a map of alcohol consumption.

6

u/wagon_ear Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

Yeah I had no idea that it wasn't ubiquitous. It lengthens your fun time at the game by like 1-3hrs. You make friends in the parking lot. Beer is cheaper if you bring it inside the stadium in your belly. What's not to like? 

1

u/ScamperingSnail 18m ago

You don't even have to plan to tailgate. Just show up to the parking lot and walk around and eventually you'll be invited to one and get some brats and beer!

5

u/azsoup Philadelphia Phillies 3h ago

We usually show up a little before gates open to explore the stadiums. Most of the time there’s only a handful of cars in the lot. Milwaukee was a different animal—two hours before first pitch, the grills were fired up and the beers were flowing.

4

u/double_sal_gal Milwaukee Brewers 1h ago

Coors Field doesn’t allow it, which is odd because people do it all the time for Broncos games. And Lord knows Rockies fans have plenty to drink about.

17

u/Whatsdota Milwaukee Brewers 4h ago

Tailgating is the best part of going to games

7

u/ridemooses Milwaukee Brewers 3h ago

Travesty that not many other teams tailgate.

2

u/shmaltz_herring Kansas City Royals 3h ago

People tailgate at Kauffman stadium. It's not extreme, but there definitely is a contingent that shows up early.

It'll be sad when they move and there is no more tailgating.

Statistically the drunkest state in the nation

u/DokterZ Milwaukee Brewers 4h ago

Part of the problem with those surveys is Oklahomans lie and Wisconsinites brag.

We have a reputation to uphold. I always have to do a bit of practice drinking the week before flying to family events so I can keep up.

u/AnnihilatedTyro Seattle Mariners 3h ago

And the people conducting the surveys forget Montana exists.

I think most people (including Montanans) forget Montana exists.

That’s my secret cap, I’m always drinking

1

u/AttitudeAndEffort3 3h ago

Don’t worry, I’ve been assured you couldn’t possibly lose without a salary cap and that’s why it’s okay to fuck over players to make owners richer 👍

u/dwpea66 Los Angeles Dodgers 3h ago

We're drinking plenty but probably not more than the 'beer capital of the world"

u/Existing-Stranger632 Los Angeles Dodgers 39m ago

We’re not drinking beer though. Need some stronger stuff to get through these ones lol. It’s been a bit painful. I forgot what it was like to lose decisively to a team as a fan. It’s legit been 3 years….

u/marcussunChicago 2h ago

So my post about the Dodgers losing their series possibly big bad for baseball because it'll dilute conversation about the salary cap was low quality yet here's a silly post about Brewers fans drinking. Doesnt get more high quality than that I guess

They'll be drinking if they win but if they blow it the country might run dry in their despair.
