I visited this park early on in my life, but from what i remember it was a sweet time. Our seats were relativly high on the second deck right behind home plate but we were still close to the action, a feature lost in modern parks. a good baseball atmosphere was maintained throughout the game despite the brew crew getting slaughtered by the Cards. Overall, a good time.

I saw my first baseball game at County Stadium, age 8, wearing my cub scout uniform as a member of the "knot hole club". Although Hank Aaron and the Braves were the home team, I only remember the hot dog and popcorn. I went to about 200 more games before I left Wisconsin, and my twins saw their first game ever as Sammy Sosa and the Cubs played the Brewers. I'll never forget the tail gate parties, opening days, brats, ten cent beer nights (not a good idea), and being with friends. Milwaukeeans really knew how to enjoy the summer, and a Brewer game was an integral part of it all. I love the new ball parks I've seen around the country, but I'll never forget County Stadium and never stop being a Milwaukee boy.

I was 7 at my first game. However, the only memories of my first game was that I could not see anything. I believe I was in the upper deck and the seats were not permanent, yet. Folding chairs as I recall. Apparantly, The Braves moved to Milwaukee on a very short notice. In the ensuing years we would go to the games early and stay late in the parking lot after the game to get autographs. Autographs were free back then and players were happy to sign. Compared to the stadiums of today, the old County Stadium wasn't much, but, it was home to Aaron, Mathews and Spahn among other great ones.
I do take issue with those that say the Braves left because of declining attendance. Although, attendance started to decline in the early 60's the decline was do to rumors that the Braves were moving to Atlanta. Apparantly, Coke offered the Braves a lucrative TV contract.

I don't usually review things twice but this time I want to tell you the details of my expierince I went to a Red Sox Brewers game and sat in the most cold and uncomftorble bleachers ever!I got up a lot during the game when I first walked in the place I kinda felt like I wanted to scalp the tickets and fly back to Boston I tried a Hot Dog and it taste great! That was the only upside though:(. I didn't enjoy this uncomftorble game at all the Red Sox won that was great but not County Stadium. Atmosphere B- Food A
Comfort D Overall C-.
