Brad from Chuckie Hacks*, which may be the best Wisconsin themed name for a sports blog out there, was at the Rattler game against Lansing on May 19 and wrote a review.
Here is his atmosphere ranking:
Atmosphere: 3.5 out of 5. Despite the threat of rain, there was a healthy crowd...I would say about 90% full. The wacky PA guy was over the top. As were the sound bites. I'm all for a little interaction, but this was a too much. Him yelling "Timberrrrrrr-ratlers" over and over was really annoying. Conversely, the peanut vendor (who went at least 6-3, 275 lbs) screaming "PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENUUUUUUUUUUUTS" was pretty funny.Overall he gives us a 7.5 out of 10. Go read it and see how it matches up with your experience.
*-The title is from a quote by former Brewer Chuck Carr. Wikipedia picks up the story:
Carr is perhaps remembered most for his hasty departure from the Brewers in 1997. After popping out to third base on a two balls, no strike count - Carr was questioned by manager Phil Garner. Carr reportedly replied to Garner by saying in third person: 'That ain't Chuckie's game. Chuckie hacks on 2-0.' He was released from the club shortly thereafter.
