I imagine there are some people that have to work Saturdays, or have other obligations (family, etc). Or if you're like part of my group, you tailgaited way too long and missed the first few innings. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif I was in the Park around 5:30ish to get the barrel man hat, despite a really late start from Madison, AND having a few beers with friends before heading in. I'm with you though; it's better to get there early and enjoy the day. For a 6:05 game, ideally I'd leave Madison no later than 1:00 to avoid as much traffic as possible and have time to grill and have a few beers (and still get in early if there's a promotion http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif ).
