"Hey Cub fans, are you making the trek up to Cream City to watch the Cubs and Brewers play in the event of the century, a winner-take-all affair in the retractable dome just off of I-94 that many like to playfully call Wrigley North? Let me tell you, the Windy City's red-headed stepchild is pulling out all the stops to keep you from invading their turf."
"In fairness to the Brewers organization, this is a season-long policy that is getting amplified because AmFam Field is hosting tonight's win-or-walk contest. Craig Counsell isn't very concerned about the policy. Heck, he's got his mind set on a trip to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers. That organization is much more liberal when it comes to peddling its seats to fans of its opponents."
AmFam Field will host a winner-take-all game between the Cubs and Brewers in a retractable-dome venue nicknamed Wrigley North. The Brewers have a season-long policy limiting opponent ticketing that intensified scrutiny for this matchup and stirred fan resentment. Craig Counsell expressed little concern and emphasized focus on advancing to Los Angeles, noting the Dodgers are more liberal selling opponent seats. Many expect a low-scoring contest, but a potential slugfest would likely favor the Cubs. Both teams and managers are familiar with each other's tendencies, and removal of surprise elements generally benefits offensive production.
