You weren't kidding about the tickets. I called yesterday and had to settle for LF upper deck (section 439 I think). We're up high but the view doesn't look that bad, and for $13, I'll take it. One of the guys on the trip said to hold off on tickets, he thought he had a connection through the Phils' front office on really good seats. I should know better. More help, if I may ask...what's the best lot to park in as far as getting out of the place and back downtown after the game? I don't mind a hike to the stadium if I can get out with relative ease afterwards.

I decided on the Hilton downtown, we'll do the Miller Brewery tour (of course) and a Miller Park tailgate for the Saturday night game on 8/4. Hoping to do some drinking on Water St. postgame and maybe squeeze in a trip to the casino. Looking forward to visiting your town again!

I'll be in town from Friday afternoon 8/3 until either late Saturday or early Sunday. We're all flying out of Chicago on Sunday, it depends on what my buddies' flight times are. Cub fans come up there and give you crap, huh? That's pretty funny, considering they continually stink. 1908 anyone? New York sends their toxic waste (Met fans) down I-95 9 or 10 times a year when the Mets come to town. I hate those games...even when we win it feels like a loss having to deal with all those scumbags all night. I'm thinking about staying downtown since I didn't get to see that area before...it's about 2 miles from downtown to the stadium, right? Also, what are good seats to get at the park?

Thanks for the help, if anyone has anything else to add, feel free. That beer cruise sounds like a good idea. I remember from my last trip that it was a pretty laid back town...I enjoyed it. I was shocked that after the first inning started error, error, walk, passed ball that there weren't any boos until the passed ball! I have to defend my fellow Eagles fans by saying that the ones that make the road trips in mass numbers are usually the alcohol-fueled obnoxious ones. The whole "a few bad apples" argument. We're also just sarcastic and edgy people by nature out here. Also, I'll add that since people assume that if you're an Eagles fan that you are a jerk, they start stuff with you regardless of whether you've said a word. A couple years back I went to a game in Ford Field in Detroit and people gave me crap right away...so I threw it back at them. Then 3 Eagle touchdowns in the first quarter pretty much shut them up. Anyway, I appreciate the suggestions.

Hey everybody. I'm a Philadelphia native and a Phillies fan and I'm making a midwest trek with some pals in early August to catch the Phils in Wrigley and then heading up to Miller Park. I was in Milwaukee back in '98 when the Phils played there (Curt Schilling vs. Steve Woodard...that WAS a while ago) so I'm a little familiar with the city but I wanted some suggestions and needed some info, and I figured who better to ask than the locals? So here we go with the questions: Where's a good place to stay that's reasonably priced and close to some bars/nightlife? Last time I was there I stayed at a Ramada that was near Water St. Are there other parts of town that are better to stay in? I know the ballpark is kind of out in the sticks compared to downtown (like it is in Philadelphia) and it's fairly close to the Miller Brewery, which we'll be visiting. We'll have a car and we plan on tailgating before the game...is there any place fairly close to the ballpark that we can pick up food/beer? If there's anything else you can think of, feel free to suggest things. Thanks for reading.
