Miller Park, Before the Majesty
I visited Miller Park last weekend and didn't see much of consequence in re: Barry Bonds. Sure, people booed, but Bonds didn't do much, and the dispositions of most Brewers fans I encountered on that fine hazy Saturday were far more reserved than I would have imagined. (Except, of course, when they caught wind of my Cubs hat. That was not popular.)
No, the most interesting thing about the surroundings in Milwaukee was the sheer largess and majesty of Miller Park. I haven't been to many of the newer MLB parks, but Miller Park is by far the coolest modern stadium I've seen. It's truly an architectural marvel, when you think about it.
But it wasn't always so, which brings us to the above video. That is a crane attempting to add a piece of Miller Park's trademark shell roofing during its construction in 1999 when the crane just sort of ... well, you'll see. Incredible video, to say the least.
