Miller Park To Get More Use?
The Milwaukee Brewers have created Brewers Enterprises, an entity aimed at bringing more revenue-generating events to Miller Park. I say, it's about time.
Miller Park is an underused stadium, especially during the winter, with its roof. The roof should allow the team to attact more musical performers and large shows during the winter.
It seems to me that the Badger hockey game at Lambeau Field last year would be well-suited to also be played at Miller Park.
I support this entity not as something that will take away from business downtown at the Bradley Center, but as something that will continue to expand entertainment in the area.
Heavier use of Miller Park will further expand the demand for a transporatoin system that goes downtown and out to the western suburbs (Waukesha, Brookfield). How about a train?

Twin Cities would be a great example. Target Center and Xcel Center are about 20 minutes apart and that's because of moderate traffic. Both get awesome concerts and do extremely well in getting revenue.

I'm looking for any information about XRumer software.
Can you help me? Or give me a link to the official site with this program.
Thanks

I marvel at the rail system of Minneapolis, however, concerts there are on a different level compared to Milwaukee.
The Twin Cities, from my understanding, don't have anything compared to Summerfest. Nor do they have the assorted number of theaters that Milwaukee has. These theaters fragment a market, making what in the Cities is a simple point-to-point network, a complex web of oddly spaced music venues.
My point is purely as to why there hasn't been a light-rail system built yet in Milwaukee. Super white flight in Milwaukee has made rebuilding an post-industrial urban center a true challenge.
The Twin Cities are amazing, however, I think they avoid the challenges of poverty and an extremely large, but highly fragmented entertainment market.
Milwaukee does have more bars than any city in the country on a per-person, large city only ratio. You would think a city that is ranked number one in drunkeness would have a transportation system capable of moving those drunks.

The Cities transportation system is amazing, both light rail and bus. We are trying to add in a new light rail path too, but it is meeting with a lot of opposition. The highly fragmented music is true, not just because of the many theatres, but because of the diverse group that surrounds the Cities. You have so many options as to music available, that it fragments many.
