The Harry Doyle Night and Lightsaber Luc are only for 4,000 fans but those tickets are on sale now. So get em if it perks your interest. The theme's are:

5/29 - Country Night - Cowboy/Brewers hat in addition to Joe Nichols concert

5/30 - Star Wars Night with Lightsaber luc - only 4,000 tickets available - fans who purchase the Star Wars Night ticket package will receive a limited-edition Jonathan Lucroy “Jedi Luc” bobblehead

7/12 - Zubazpalooza - receive a pair of green and blue Zubaz pants with the Brewers 90’s with select ticket purchase

7/21 - Harry Doyle Night - Fans who purchase the special Major League Night ticket package will receive a limited-edition talking Harry Doyle bobblehead with famous quotes including: “This guy threw at his own kid in a father-son game,” “Personally, I think we got hosed on that call” and “Juuust a bit outside.”

 

Quite frankly Harry Doyle night or Major League night is pretty sweet as that movie will just always be one of my favs.

I will buy one of those bobbles. so amazing

[MadScientist]

Disappointing that the giveaways for the two that I'd be interested in are only for ~10% of the crowd.

[jerichoholicninja]

Is there anything more themed about these nights other than the name and a giveaway?

[pete]

Chewbacca throws out the first pitch?

[Ennder]

Star Wars night there are supposed to be characters from the movie doing things at the stadium. Don't really know what and I assume they aren't the 'real' characters.

[Outlander]

Yes, don't expect the actors that played the characters but the fans that do the costumes do a real good job and they look like the real thing.

[Point Beer Is Best]

I want to see a Mark Hamill doppelganger throw out the first pitch to Darth Vader, but first they pay tribute to "Field of Dreams."

 

Luke: "Hey, Dad?"

 

Vader: "Yes, my son?"

 

Luke: "You wanna have a catch?"

It should be pretty easy to apply the themes. Other than decorating the stadium and showing characters, they can play the songs from Star Wars and Major League between innings, have the sausages dressed differently, maybe do some sort of special uniforms, etc.

Just purchased our tickets. They only have the terrace reserved ($22) packages left for the bobblehead. Outfield Loge was the other area that was part of this offer, but those already sold out.

This describes it perfectly. I went to the T-Rats' SW night last season, & it was a lot of fun. They did a lot with movie clips on the videoboard, & each player had a SW 'alter ego' name & player pic for the videoboard. The costumed characters were even walking around the parking lot pre-game & posing for pics with tailgaters. Fun stuff.

 

The best moment was when the visiting team hit a HR -- the videoboard very quickly played the clip of Luke screaming, "Noooo!" (when he learns Vader is his father). Many actual lols were had in the stadium on that one.

This would be... amazing

I think a fun night would craft beer night. Invite all of them and have stations set up through the concourse. Sort of like a taste test type of thing.

That would be fun. But probably never going to happen at a place named "Miller Park."

I would think there has to be a way of getting around such a thing. I know they already have a craft beer station set up. Not sure if they are affiliated with Miller or not.

[TURBO]

I've never noticed, or thought about it before, but does Miller Park only sell Miller beer products?

[jerichoholicninja]

Isn't (or wasn't) there a bar that is all Leinenkugel's in the OF?

Have a kegger at 2B and force players to slam a beer to keep going.

I believe there is but didn't they sell out to Miller? I'm not sure.

Miller distributes, Leine's, Coors, Redd's, as well as others. However, there are different local microbrews available if you look. MKE Brewery has a few different selections available I know for sure.

There are the craft brew stands that sell out of bottles/cans which sell craft beer (MKE, 8Bit IPA, Sierra Nevada).

 

Leinie's is distributed by Miller, but Miller treats them as autonomous and they still do almost all their own R&D for their beers.

So I just got my tickets for the Star Wars night. For each seat they sent two tickets: one for the seat and one to exchange for the bobblehead. I already had tickets to this game in better seats so I won't use the actual game tickets. I'm thinking about selling these on StubHub for cheap since all I really wanted was the bobblehead, but I'm worried that they will ask me to show the ticket for my seat when collecting the bobblehead. Does anyone know how this works? I assume not since I believe this is a new type of promotion but maybe someone has some insider info.

[Point Beer Is Best]

I don't think it would hurt to actually call the ticket office with this question. I would think just having the bobblehead ticket would suffice.

[mtrebs]

I ended up emailing my ticket rep and he said that all we need is the voucher for the bobblehead so we can sell the other tickets. He did say to let whoever we sell them to know that they won't get a bobblehead.

We took our 3 & 4 year old sons to this game, and was their first Brewers game. It was as successful as you'd imagine with kids that age. They lost interest about 15 minutes after the first pitch and we wound up in the kid's play area in the terrace area by the 3rd inning.

 

The real bummer was my 3 year old lost his Brewers hat in that tube-thing while 40 other kids were climbing around. I asked him what happened (if he took it off, or did someone take it from him). So far the suspects are "Iron Man" and "The Troublemakers" from Team Umizoomi. I'm pretty sure he got hot and took it off somewhere inside - he's pretty big for a 3 year old (48 lbs) and has a bit of a temper problem so I don't think he'd let someone swipe his hat without a fight. We asked some of the older kids to look for it in the tubes (they couldn't find it) and I didn't notice anyone with the hat. It's a pretty unique hat (royal blue with ball & glove logo, except the logo is entirely white - haven't seen anyone else with a hat like that). We left our information with guest services, and we know it's a long shot but hopefully it turns up.
