Brewers' fans ready to celebrate World Series title

All right, the Milwaukee Brewers have the opportunity to sweep the World Series tonight. Game four, first pitch tonight right here on Fox at seven o'clock. Will they do it and make Major League Baseball history? Only time will tell, but it sure is exciting. First time they've been to the World Series since 1982. Fox 6 reporter Ashley Sears joins us now live from Florida. What an assignment, Ashley. They send you down to Florida to cover the brew crew. Yeah, how could you turn an opportunity down like this? We are in St. Petersburg. We're at a bar called Ferg's, and this is just outside of Tropicana Field. This is a raised bar, but today it seems like it is a brewer's bar. This place is filled with Brewers fan. What's up? How's it going? Go Brewers. See, it feels like we're in Tampa. It does. Where are you from? Milwaukee. It feels like we're in Milwaukee. I know, I know, I know. Born and raised. But I'm not here for the game. Coincidentally, here in town on a cruise. But, you know, I got to come down and experience it. Best vacation ever, huh? Having fun out here. There are fans from all over. Thanks for giving the shout-out. I appreciate it. Fans from all over Wisconsin visiting here or coming to the game because for a lot of fans it was actually cheaper to fly down here, buy tickets, and stay at a hotel than to do standing room at American Family Field. I want you to meet some of these fans. They came from Racine, Wisconsin, Kenosha, Wisconsin area. You guys are going to the game tonight. What are you expecting? Well, we're hoping for a sweep, and flying here on the plane, we're watching it live, and we were hooting and hollering. The students had to come on and tell us to be quiet on the plane. People were saying that they were going to give us a parachute if we went quiet down, but tonight's the night. We're going for a sweep. We're seeing Kenosha. We're representing. We even have a Cubs fan here, which I find interesting. He says he's celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Cubs World Series win, which was another historic win. Have fun tonight, guys. Can you believe how many Brewers fans are here? Oh, of course. They all flew in for this. Why wouldn't they? This is a raised bar, but it doesn't feel like that today, huh? It's a Brewer bar. We bought it. We bought it today. We bought it for today. It's a takeover here, Courtney. It's a ton of fun out. here in St. Petersburg, a lot of these fans say they're going to come over here tonight after the game. They're also going to celebrate the big win. That's what everyone's expecting. They want to sweep, and they believe that it'll happen. Last night, this place was absolutely bonkers, and we were here when we watched a lot of Rays fans leave early, and this slowly but surely became the Brewers hangout, and it was a ton of fun last night. Wow. Okay, so last night's game was something else because they scored eight runs just in the fifth inning alone the final score was 10 to 1 it sounds like you were there taking in the scene but i am curious you know a lot of people that you're talking to they're saying sweep we want to sweep but i know that you're talking to your viewers in Milwaukee as well and hearing feedback there do you think everyone wants a sweep or do some people want to see it come back to Milwaukee and have it hope it happen on home turf no no I think everyone wants a sweep I don't think anyone wants a nail biter uh you know that would be nice for it to happen on home turf but it's been kind of fitting they've won uh they're all their series on the road so uh there'll be a celebration in Milwaukee too don't don't worry about that I'm sure all the bars and American Family Field where they're hosting a watch party will also be hopping tonight. If there is a sweep, we'll always find ways to celebrate. We're the beer and cheese capital of the world. So we're ready to celebrate no matter where the win happens. Yeah, we have heard that for those first couple of games, Milwaukee was just electric. And you could see last night in the stadium at Tropicana Field there in St. Petersburg, Florida, it was, I mean, it was full of Brewers fans, so they travel well. This is the first time the Brewers have been to the World Series since 1982. I just have to know how fans are feeling after all that time and finally making it to this spot where they are now. Unbelievable, and a lot of the fans we've spoken to went to that game because tickets then, believe it or not, were $8. So a lot of people were kids back then. They went to the game, they stood and watched it with these obstructed views and they watched a loss. And they're back, they say this means everything to them. It's so emotional for so many people and they feel really blessed to be a part of it and to watch it happen the way it's happening. Yeah. Feels like magic. Truly, truly. And we're twins fans here, but in this moment, we are Brewers fans. We're We're cheering for the Brewers in this series. And I gotta ask you though, because you interviewed that guy who was on a cruise and stopped into town. We've been hearing a lot of stories of people that are simply flying to Tampa to just be in the vicinity. They don't even have tickets. We heard the same thing about Milwaukee, people flying to Milwaukee. They don't even have tickets to the game. They just wanna be there and feel the energy. Are you running into that? That's Tom over here. Yes, yes. feeling that energy I have to tell you last night so we're we're not a credentialed crew so we're standing outside and we feel that energy it feels like we're all still a part of where you turn there's brewers fans all around us Wow Wow they certainly showed up They just ran into each other. They're brother-in-laws. Where are you guys from? I'm actually from Minnesota. We're on the air with Fox 9 in Minneapolis. Hello, people in TV land and all my family in Racine and Milwaukee and Franklin. Oh, gosh, this is such an experience. I can't believe that we're here. Have you ever been a Twins fan? No. No, no, no, no, no. Are you going to the game tonight? Oh, yeah. We have tickets. We bought them before we even knew. Like, when the Rays won, we're like, we're in. Game four. I was, like, just here on a whim. And here we are already. Game four. We heard from a lot of fans that it was cheaper to fly here to get the tickets. Oh, my gosh. So much affordable. I mean, we were already here. So, I visited some friends on Sanibel Island. It was very nice. Very relaxing. And then, oh, my gosh, last night, crazy house. I can't believe what happened, crazy house. Were you at the game yesterday as well or- No, I wish, I wasn't there. All right, so you're hoping tonight that they finish this? So my brother right there, he bought game four tickets ahead of time, right there. RT, RT. Wow. I love it, I can't believe he did that.
