A traditional ballpark is what Miller Park is all about. The building is a sign of the local architecture. This arena is superbly built with its main attraction being the retractable roof especially during the rains and snow. The roof opens and shuts in about 10 minutes. This park has the capacity to seat 45,000 people approximately at various levels in the arena. It has a split-bowl concept where the seats hang over others slightly—this gives fans a clearer view of the game. They also have excellent amenities such as a brewpub, open-air patios, a Hall of Fame and a children's area. Review © 2007, Wcities |
