MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee Brewers fans turned Davidson Park into a sea of cheers and ballpark vibes on Wednesday night, watching Game 3 of the National League Division Series (NLDS) on the big screen without making the trip to Chicago.
What we know:
No tickets, no tolls, no problems; for many, the official watch party was the next best thing to being there.
Among the crowd was Anthony Megal, a familiar face to Brewers and Chicago Cubs fans after catching a Cubs home run earlier this season and famously tossing it back.

“I brought my glove so I was like wait a second, that ball is coming right to me,” Megal said. “First home run I’ve ever caught, and uh, I think I’m better off without the ball.”
Inside Davidson Park, the benches and bag chairs replaced the bleachers.
Local perspective:
The Brewers went on to fall to the Cubs 4-3, forcing a Game 4 in the best-of-five series. But now Brewers fans are hoping the series won’t end the same way.
Optimism remains high.
“We’re staying in it. I like it. You can’t count the Brewers out. We stay alive. We keep getting hits. It’s awesome,” said fan Noah Capelle.
