    As far as building downtown, I think it is the best spot to spark commercial spending for a sporting event. The bars and resturants and stores will benefit to a great extent. Look at Miller Park, it does very little for the surrounding communtiy because there is nothing within walking distance of the Park.

    Tailgating is great, but it does little for the commercial community that should benefit when taxpayers have to shell out .01% of sales tax.
    Really? I haven't been to a ton of Brewers' games, but afterward we always end up in a bar just north across the highway. Not quite walking distance, but definitely in the neighborhood. Its usually packed.

    I suppose once you get people in a car, they might keep driving though.

    That one bar is Kelly's Bleachers, and it is not walking distance. There is a nice stock yard and a couple of broke ass factories you could possibly walk to though.
    there is another Irish Bar on the corner next to kelly's. so you have two choices.
    unless the bartender spontaneoulsy yells out 'fuck....ass', i'm not going.
    I get it.
