Every spring and summer, Miller Park is the most popular destination for Wisconsin sports fans.
Millions come to the ballpark to watch the Brewers each season, fans who show up at the stadium hoping to see a victory but who know that watching the ballgame is just part of their entertainment experience.
Thousands of people jam the parking lots hours before the first pitch to enjoy the best tailgating venue in major league baseball. And when those fans put away their grills and enter the stadium, they are treated to a superior performance on the field, seeing the sport played at its highest level.
But they also experience a spectacular display of music, visual effects, fireworks and fun contests all throughout the game. And for the hardcore fan, every piece of pertinent information, all the statistics that make baseball the most data-driven sport on the planet, are flashed on multiple scoreboards all over the park.
It is a complicated production that requires the organization, manpower and technical know-how of a major rock concert.
And it happens at every Brewers home game.
We take you behind the scenes with the people who put on "the show."
