Level Two Experience - Where would you go?

[GreatNWwi]

Given the opportunity for two tickets in the lower rows of the upper level of any baseball venue, where would you go to see a Brewers game?

My company has a rewards program and I have saved enough points to receive this $500 value reward called the Level Two Experience.  There are many options for how to use this reward but I am currently focused on an away Brewers game.  The information below is all that I can find on this reward and it has some limitations and rules, most notably you need to request tickets 90 days in advance.  This is the web site for the vendor that provides this. It is a $500 value and I don't know if it includes anything beyond tickets at this point.  So, with this information, where would you most like to see a Brewers game?

If I could go to any regular season game, anywhere, in 2025, I'd pick opening day at Yankee Stadium.

I could see that being a big problem with ticket availability though lol. Opening day is a hard ask. What about the 2nd or 3rd game? Opening weekend would be a fun time and Yankee Stadium is tough to beat IMO.

EDIT: Ah, 90 days. Well given that I'd just pick a city you'd like to visit. Some that jump out to me are San Diego, LAD, Seattle, Miami. Maybe Philly or Arizona. The Mets might be interesting given some of the fireworks between these two teams last season.

Unless you really want to go on a road trip, the first couple of rows behind home playe of Wrigley Field are nice. Play in June.

Target Field is farther away but also play in June on a weekend.

Even Longer way to go but I visited Truist Park in Atlanta, they have multiple levels but if they say you can sit in level 2 behind home, that is another good place. Play in August.

I am making the assumption that you only want to use this over a weekend, because some weeknight game isn't going to be a great value. At a lot of these parks, you could do better on the secondary market on a random Tuesday.

Given that, there are only really two choices that make sense to me after looking at the schedule. Dodgers Stadium on 7/18-7/20 or the Phillies at the end of May; I actually saw a game there last summer and thought it was a great park. I would personally lean toward the Dodgers, and I'd also want to go to a night game.

Personally, I think I'd use it on a non-Brewers game to get the most value.

My favorite MLB park I've been to is Oracle in SF.

Nice input, this has become an exercise in weighing the options.  I like the idea of a non-brewers game, I catch them in Milwaukee and the twin cities often enough.  My original thought was a home Brewer game but depending on the rules, I might not get the whole $500 value in ticket prices anyway (first few rows of the upper level).  Milwaukee is a road trip for us so taking the edge off the overall cost of that trip is still enticing.

I wish they were a bit more clear on how it works.  I wonder if the leftover value of the tickets gets you parking and/or refreshments.

I might look at and try to predict a good September matchup in a city we want to visit.

I’m working my way through all of the parks. Currently missing both Texas teams, both FL teams, ATL, Bal, Cle and the Mets. My favorite park is SF. The views, the food, the city location really are great.

You have to use it at an away Brewers game, you just have to!

No way I'd use it on two teams I don't care about, I'd want to see my team with seats like that!

Brewers play in Pittsburgh May 22-25. PNC is the easy choice.

There’s only about 5 stadiums that are truly worth seeing. Fenway, Camden Yards, Dodger Stadium, Oracle Park, and Wrigley Field. 

Phillies, Target Field, Tigers, D’Backs, Rockies, Cleveland. Reds. Mets, Sea, etc. They’re all okay venues to watch a game but the stadiums themselves aren’t particularly interesting. 
 

If you want to see a Brewers road game, almost any stadium is good as the next; but if you want to soak up energy, vibe, history, while watching a game go with one of the first 5.

That's like $60. I wouldn't want to use a $500 voucher on that. Thus why personally I'd open this up to any teams, because frankly in a 162-game season, it's not that important to me that the Brewers are in this game. I'd be looking for a cool experience, i.e. Yankees at Fenway, Dodgers at Oracle or something - an event that might come close to $500 and I would otherwise never, ever pay for. But that's just how I'd look at it.

This is exactly the struggle.  I see it as an opportunity to do something I would not otherwise pay for myself. 

We might have to target the 2026 season when the schedule comes out so that we can pick one of those top 5 or so stadium/city experiences with the biggest bang for the $500 buck.

I will echo the San Francisco suggestion.  Incredible experience. 

 

My sister has lived in the Bay area since the mid 80s.  I've been to a couple games at Candlestick as well.  I would NOT have recommended that.

Green monster no question.

How about Oakla... wait a minute!!!!!

I saw my first game outside of Milwaukee last year and that was at Arizona.  I don't know if I would consider that tops on my list.

My daughter and her fiancée saw Camden, Fenway, Wrigley, Tiger Stadium, Target, The Reds stadium, and Washington.  I believe Fenway was their favorite.
