Ok, so I suffered through being at my first of three games in a row at The Keg yesterday afternoon, watching a miserable game of offensive ineptitude and a thoroughly embarrasing defensive performance. I've come to expect an error charged to Rickie Weeks almost every game, but Overbay and a wild pitch with a runner on third? Please. Anyway, hopefully I got the loss out of me because my season record is suddently sinking again as it sits at 6-8. But onto another subject....the horrible sound system at Miller Park.
For a stadium that is still supposed to be every bit "state of the art" am I the only person who can't stand the horrendous sound system at the place? The only thing you can easily hear is inbetween innings when the team has that blond hottie do her in stadium promotions. Her microphone is apparently more amped up than everything else piped in over the sound system. When I've been to 14 games this season and I still can't shed any light whatsoever as far as what song is played when the Brewers hit a dinger, you know it's bad. And believe me, I've seen my fair shake of home team dingers, it is Miller Park people.
You'd think by this point that some token employee or usher from the team would have brought up the point that the stadium's sound system is for garbage and they'd be better served bringing back the speaker tower in center field ala County Stadium. Why has the team not noticed this? As if having seats that don't face the field isn't bad enough, having a miserable sound system just adds to a suddenly growing list of things that are frustrating about Miller Park. I am by no standards a sound board technician, but I don't think it takes a genious to simply turn up the volume of the main sound board. I'll check into that one with some local bands and get back to you.
When you sit in either of the loge bleachers sections at The Keg, it is truly awful, a fan can't hear a thing. This day in age, this shouldn't be the case and something should be done. The stadium has a convertible roof, I think someone can figure out how to have an adequate sound system within the walls of the park.

You also forgot to mention that besides Ginger Jordan, or is it Sandy Max? I think it's Sandy Max, one of the two ladies left when I was taking in games from the press box, but I digress. You forgot to mention that besides her, the only other thing easy to make out is the organ player when they play guess that song, and Ricky Weeks music when he steps to the plate.
