Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs; Lambeau Field, Green Bay

Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI

Today, we made our way to Wisconsin.  We left Kevin's house early in the morning and made our way up to Green Bay to see the classic Lambeau field.  But first, we stopped in Appleton to see our friend Marissa.  She cooked us a delicious lunch for which we were very thankful.  After that, we were off to Lambeau.

Once arriving, we first took a quick tour of the Packers Hall of Fame.  This was really, really cool because we saw all their retired numbers, Super Bowl trophies and rings, and a bunch of memorabilia collected throughout their 80 year existence.  We then took the stadium tour.  On it, we experienced the luxury boxes, the only bleacher seats left in the NFL, and other behind the scenes features.  This was truly a unique experience and no other team in the NFL can offer something this amazing.

After that, it was back to baseball.  We made the two hour drive to Milwaukee to see the Cubs take on the Brewers.  We met up with some of Alon's friends at the game.  They were really good guys and showed us a great time. We entered Miller Park and were quickly amazed at the structure.  Neal likes to think of it as a mix of the technologically advanced Rogers Centre in Toronto with the friendly confines of Wrigley field in Chicago.  The brats and chiroza (a Mexican sausage) were succulent, and they seemed to have every ballpark food imaginable. 

The game itself was good too.  The Brewers jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, but the Cubs came within a few clutch hits of winning the game, but as a result, the Brew Crew won 7 to 5.  Overall, we saw 4 home runs hit which is excellent. 

After the game, we went out with some friends and had a great time. We then made our way back to "The Dude" Danny's house for some much needed sleep.
