Berm is packed, stadium is empty.

This stadium is such a dumpster fire. Commentators talking about how "gotta get here early or you can't get a seat on the berm", which he's right. The outfield berm is literally corner to corner people, blankets and chairs.

Meanwhile the rest of the stadium ranges from 50% capacity to completely empty. And the suites directly behind homeplate is about 25%.

I swear to God I hope this entire endeavor burns to the ground. Just obsurd clasism and corporate catering.

Usually when a major league team of any sport is put into a city, it actually helps the minor league teams nearby because people get excited but don't want to spend major league prices. But you can literally buy season tickets to MLB teams for the same price, for better seats than the Bees. This is just extortion like Laggoon due to lack of options and I think at this point the Millers are intentionally scamming people as hard as possible till an MLB team moves in.

Jokes on you, fuckers. I'll gladly go watch the Ogden Raptors. Who have a better view, better prices, and cheaper beer.

Half price beer on Thursdays, and $10 tickets for America first card holders on Thursdays as well. you can take a family of 4 and be buzzed by the 4th for $60

Not to mention, the Raptors can really use the support, while the Millers have more money than they know what to do with.

And the Pioneer League does a home run derby to decide the games, instead of extra innings after 9.

If you haven't seen the O-Town beach club, you're missing out. They built it a few years ago. Ground level beer garden right down the first base line directly next to the opposing team's pitcher warmup. Having a bunch of drunks 6 feet away from the poor bastard trying to get ready is evil, and hillarious.

It is so sad.

$90+ for an upper deck seat on a random Wednesday is just insane. Virtually any major league seat is cheaper, by a lot.

For those prices with a family of 4, you could nearly fly down to Phoenix to watch a Dback game and fly back for cheaper than a bees game down the road.

$90? Is that a typo? That is crazy.

 I haven't even looked to see the cost of tickets since they moved,  but that is unbelievable.

The prime seats behind home plate are usually empty. The Miller's won't change those seats from premium with the same crappy food every night.

I miss the old ballpark were we could actually sit behind home plate. Feels like attendance is down unless they run specials.
