Here's some "housekeeping" items for those attending this sunday's event.
Please do not let the dry tone of this email be any indication of the actual event.
33 people coming.
A dozen hybrids.
-Depending on the weather, you may wish to bring several layers of clothes so that you can put on/take off clothes as the temperature dictates. An umbrella in case of light sprinkles rain may be helpful, too.
- Please bring your game tickets and Miller Park food vouchers. (I cannot get them replaced.)
- Please plan to bring your own food, drink, utensils, etc for tailgating.
- I will bring a small rectangular portable charcoal grill that can be shared.
To recap the day:
10:00-11:00 Meet at staging area in Wauwatosa. (Those who have said they are coming should already have directions.) Since I am the organizer of the event, I am going to try to get there as close to 10:00 as possible. It doesn’t matter when you get there, as long as you are ready to leave promptly at 11:00. We all must enter Miller Park parking lot together to have any chance of parking next to each other.
11:00-11:15 Drive to Miller Park. We will not be taking the interstate at all. We will take city streets. Eventually we will be traveling on Bluemound Road and turning onto Story Parkway near Miller Park. We hope to park in the “Giants” parking lot that is just north of I-94. Parking is $6 per car, so have cash ready.
11:15- near game time. (Game starts at 1:05) Tailgate in the parking lot at Miller Park. Anyone who did not enter the parking lot with us can call the “emergency” numbers listed above, and we will do our best to describe where we are.
1:05 Game time. Tailgating is not allowed in the parking lot once the game begins.
If for some reason there is severe weather those at the staging area will make a decision for an alternate “tailgate” activity/location. This could involve anything from eating at a restaurant offsite of Miller Park, or heading to a local park/shelter. We would leave for this activity at 11:00. Again, you could contact the emergency phone number for details. If it is a case of just a few light sprinkles that would clear up, we will most likely still plan on heading to miller Park. I want to be flexible to the wishes of the group.
The game itself will go on, rain or shine, since the park has the roof.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
