2011-06-08 Mets (Pelfrey) at Brewers (Wolf) - [Brewers with a walk-off win, 7-6]


I wonder how well Miller Park would withstand a tornado like an F3 or F4? Was it designed to survive any natural disaster? Is that even taken into account in the Midwest?

 

These are the questions that pop into my brain when reading about tornado warnings and Miller Park.

As an engineer I can tell you that it is possible to design for wind speeds as high as a tornado, I have never worked on a project as large as Miller Park but I would probably think from an insurance standpoint and lost baseball revenue it would be worth it to design it to withstand a tornado. The Midwest is prime tornado territory so if it would be considered anywhere it would be here and the plains region.

He balked in a run? Really? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

The staff we know in the terrace level guest relations booth told us during a stormy night last season that the park was supposedly designed to withstand a tornado. I'd guess not a huge tornado or direct strike; or put differently, if the storm that's hitting Dane County now were in Milwaukee while I was at MP, I'd be heading to the lowest level restroom I could get to quickly. All that glass, yikes.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Why on earth are they opening the roof? Do they know how to read the radar?

They're trying to save the bullpen in a long stretch without an off day by going for the five inning rainout victory.
