On Deck Question

[Brew City Baseball Fan]

Site says first come first serve on all autographs. Does that mean get in line at 10 for a 3pm yelich auto? Didn't they do a lottery of sorts in the past?

[BrewersSuperCollector]

There wasn't a lottery last year either. Yes, you will have to get in line right at 10:00 to get Yelich. Sometime a little after 2:00 they will hand out the vouchers.

Getting ridiculous...

[BrewersSuperCollector]

I like the first come first serve better than the lottery. If there is a specific player someone wants then put in the time to get that person

A sellout this year? Maybe it is time to have a two day convention. Add Saturday to the mix. I'm sure area hotels could get on board with that. Saturday could focus on prospects and former player, even if it was from 9 to 2. Just a thought....

This is a good idea. I don’t live in Wisconsin and was going to fly back for it. Hearing that it was a sell-out made me change plans and just not want to deal with the madness for just a couple hours but a two day event may make it worth it for those of us out-of-towners.

Minnesota has always done two days.

Why not do it at “The Stadium”? Much more room...

They tried that. It was bleep ity bleep bleep cold.

2-day event would still be a zoo with a team coming off the NLCS that still looks to be pretty good. Any community event will be a madhouse as long as they win games. I'll take the trade-off and stay home. Wasn't as fun with short lines at things and a 56 win team.

I remember when they use to have it at Brookfield Square. I remember one of the last times they had it there, there was a huge snow storm. I can't remember if it got canceled because of the storm?

[TURBO]

If anyone gets the free autos at On Deck, the ones on the cards provided by the team, I'm interested in buying or trading for them...

 

I collect them, so am always looking for them, and can't make the event this year.

My wife and I are taking our seven year old to it this year. He's not a huge baseball fan (yet...though he has played tee ball the past couple summers), but hoping there's enough there for him to enjoy. Don't really care about autographs personally, though it would be cool if he could get one or two.

Invader, our ticket rep told me last week that the kid area is going to be on the lower (ground?) level of the Wisconsin Center. The SSH area will be on that level too. So at least they're spatially spreading things out more.

Does anyone happen to know if Uecker signs anything other than the team card?

[jerichoholicninja]

They need to go back to the Winter Caravan. I will never forget the time my mom took me out of school so that I and 15 other people could listen to Doug Melvin in a hotel banquet hall and then hang out with Chris Capuano, Mike DeJean, and Scott Podsednik.

First time On-Decker here...

 

Any advice for bringing an 8-month old? Is there enough room around to navigate with a stroller? Better to bring a baby bjorn or something?

Based on past years....NO

That was the last year it was at Brookfield Square. I was there and Ned Yost didn't get the message it was cancelled. He sat with a bunch of us just chit chatting.

Let me know when they have it somewhere more accessible. Don’t feel like dealing with downtown Milwaukee so I have never attended.

Scared of Big Bad Downtown? Milwaukee's downtown is plenty accessible!

I feel like Milwaukee's downtown is the easiest downtown I've ever dealt with as far as parking and even free parking.

Word from people there right now, it is pretty bad...Too many people in too small of a space.

 

No organization, sounds like nothing but a big money grab.

 

*sigh*

[Invader3K]

Huge lines. Weve been in line for about 45 minutes to get in. They've stopped scanning tickets for right now to try and get the bottle neck to empty out a bit.
