Miller Park and Milwaukee Question

[Sammys Boombox]

I have an interview in Milwaukee next Friday, but I have a few hours to kill before my plane departs. Does anybody know of the best way to get to Miller Park from either downtown or from the airport? I have never been there and would like to see the stadium.

MaybeI don't understand what you're asking. If I do...

Google Maps can't help with the ideal routing, or whether to walk, take the bus, ride a bike, rent a pedicab, or somersault to Miller Park. Or simply put, he is looking for insight a map can't offer.

 

Since I have never been to Milwaukee, let alone Wisconsin, I can only tell you to wear head protection if you are planning on somersaulting.

By car -- take 94 west towards Madison. You won't miss the Miller Park exit a couple miles down the road from downtown.

 

Public transit -- not sure if there is a bus that goes there on non-game days. Milwaukee kind of sucks for public transit. No trains, buses are kind of sketchy IMO.

 

If you rent a car, you're golden.

I've been to Miller a few times, though it's been a while. It's super easy to get to...right off the interstate...and has good parking. I'd just drive.

 

I live up there for a summer (back in the old County Stadium days) and always found Milwaukee very easy to get around.

Just as a forewarning, there's not much to see on the outside, it's pretty sterile.

I've probably never had an easier time getting to a ballpark than Miller.

I disagreed with this at first, but yeah, with the roof closed, it's not exciting from the outside

[Soul]

The tailgating scene makes the outside worthwhile, if you like that kind of thing.

 

In the offseason though -- it's basically a big old brick building in the middle of an asphalt lake. There are some semi-interesting statues & such scattered around the grounds.

 

Nothing even remotely close to Wrigley.

 

You can eat lunch at Friday's year round -- which will give you a view of the inside of the park. So you shouldn't be limited to the exterior if you have time for a bite to eat.

Get there early, as the parking lot can't hold enough cars for a sold out game. I had to park a mile away and walk

That shouldn't be a problem.
