Basically a mini museum/shrine to Bud at Miller Park. Seperate room, 1500 SF, memorablia, junk, etc...and a video on Buds life....

I guess a statue wasnt enough....this is approaching the level of creepy.

Is there a display where you can pretend to be Uncle Jerry and lean on Bud to not allow Mark Cuban anywhere near Cubs' ownership? Or a display where you play Uncle Jerry working Selig like a puppet?

I want a fund raising exhibit to educate our children on the steroid era. Simply, you'd have a arcade style machine that accepts money. You take a mock up of a baseball player. Then the child gets to inject it with HGH via control screens. You see the player's head start to grow, muscles bulge, testes shrink, odd hair patterns, and different stimuli to induce roid rage. Then you show how much farther the baseball flies when with varying levels of drug intake. At the end, after early on set of death to the player, you should McGuire and Sosa hugging in the year that saved baseball.

Did you make a reservation?

I dont pick on Jerry, you have been brainwashed by a group with very little thought process.

Sure I will go thru it as I am a Brewer fan, I wouldn't expect non Brewer fans to want to though.

No I will not be going this weekend, but the next time I go to a game and I have time I will. But no I would not wait in a damn line to see this.

Apparently this will only be open from the first pitch basically thru the 7th inning. No cost as your ticket gets you in. There will be 2 reserved showings, but you can only reserve up to 4 people for them.

Of course be some sort of tribute to Bud Selig in Milwaukee, but a museum exhibit where you pretend to go in a baseball executive's office and are visited by his hologram is like a Dan Bernstein fever dream.

What constitutes being a Brewers fan? Celebrating a WS loss from 30 years ago?

That, bitching about the Cubs, and eating food in a parking lot.

it's all about wearing the mb oldschool logo hat! it's about REPRESENTING when those fucking cubbies are in town and those assholes from chicago come in #s and take over the ballpark.... that's where you draw a line in the sand and rep your navy and gold to the fullest and you let these motherfuckers know THEY'RE IN YOUR HOUSE AND GODDAMMIT IF ANYONE'S CATCHING THE BUSINESS END OF A KLEMENT-BRAND MEAT INJECTION IT'S GOING TO BE YOU CUBS ASSHOLES!!!!!!

also, my uncle gets ~25 game packages or whatever and he notes how every year they go out of their way to lick your ass for doing so. even if you buy the 25 package in teh upper deck they'll make sure that you know you're eligible for FREE upgrades to loge level / lower dish every so often, they frequently have raffles to win upgrades to the VIP/luxury/owners/bigfan boxes, and then they'll give you all kinds of free swag like towels mugs stationery (perfect for writing authoritative letters like "HEY COUNSELL, PLAY GERARDO PARRA MORE. SEE THIS LETTERHEAD? NOT FUCKING AROUND OVER HERE!") all while they furnish hot chocolate and snacks while you're waiting in line in cold weather and rah rah rah.

of course my uncle ended up rooting against the brewers world series run a few years back because he didn't wanna be ok the hook for all of those world series games tickets. yeah going to a game of THE WORLD SERIES (middleaged ppl still remember the majesty and pomp and circumstance where you interrupted school to get updates on the score of the WS game going on) would have been nice, but my decidedly low-tech uncle prolly would have had a pain in the ass trying to move those unwanted WS tickets, especially for $$$PROFIT$$$ as my uncle : computers :: a dog : massage chair, you know what i'm saying?

but yeah, TLDR = the brewers will stop just short of offering you a blowjob from a 175+ LB woman of your choice if you go and buy any of their season ticket packages, even the smaller ones. and they don't especially care if you're technically from IL, as that's the job of the ~10-15k brave BREWTOWNNNNN!!!!! massive who show up and try to have the ~20k imported cubs fan snicker at them just a little bit less.

TLDR TLDR = near as i can tell, being a brewers fan is about getting drunk and pretending you're in a proper baseball-class-city where the team has a chance of winning anything..... and of course fuck the cubs just like you derive a whole bunch of identity from hating those teams from the vastly superior civilization about 60-90mins south of you.
