Yesterday was Opening Day for the St. Louis Cardinals. One thing to note is that the Cardinals have hosted the Brewers as their “home opener” opponent on FIVE occasions in recent years from the 2003 opener forward. In the eyes of baseball scribes, St. Louis seems to have been known as a good baseball town. With the recent 2016 Opening Day visit by the Brewers, it made me start thinking about how we do things here versus other cities.
In Milwaukee, the stadium is sold out every Opening Day, no matter what the weather is. Fans take off of work and come out in droves to the ballpark.
