3rd Annual Brewer Game

In order to keep the game priced reasonably, we are in a different section this year. (Cubs vs Brewer tickets come at a premium price)!! The seats are Terrace Box in sections 437-440. The tailgate is being catered by Rupena's, and includes food and unlimited beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Please note if there is an ovarian cancer survivor in your party. We want to distinguish them from the rest of the folks attending the game.
