Chuck,
You're doing what I would like to do someday - visit more ballparks. It seems like every year I always read about a person or two who plan their summer around getting to every major league park. With two kids and a wife who are only mildly interested at best in baseball, I may have to wait until I'm retired before I can do that. In the meantime, I'll just have to settle for getting to Wrigley and Busch once or twice a summer; they are only about a three hour drive either way. My brother-in-law has been to Milwaukee a couple of times, and he says it's a great park to visit. Good parking, clean inside, and he says pretty good food as well. Bratwursts are apparently the specialty - imagine that. And for us, Cincinnati isn't that far of a drive either, probably only a 5 hour drive, so I may have to convince the family to do that trip next year.
In a previous life (before marriage), I was able to see a game in every Big 10 football and basketball stadium, except Penn State, as well as a few others. I also used to have a great plastic cup collection from every school I visited. Then I got married, and they got boxed up and "lost". Sigh...all those memories gone...
