4957. See the Uecker Seats at Miller Park

When we picked up 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out, we looked at places we could go. When I saw that the Uecker seats statue was on the list, I knew we finally had an excuse to climb all the way up there.

Not only does Miller Park and the Brewers honor long timer announcer and former player, Bob Uecker, with a statue outside but they also gave him one inside. Right where he belongs.. up in the very top row of the stadium behind a steel girder. These obstructed, nose bleed seats are affectionately known as Uecker Seats.

As we were leaving the game tonight, we decided to pay Ueck a visit since we were only a few sections over (and rows down). We made our way over to section 422 and then made the climb all the way up to the top. We snapped a few pictures and took turns sitting with Ueck to watch a few pitches. We then slowly descended all twenty or so rows back to the concourse and made our way back down to the lower levels of the stadium to leave.

If you are a baseball fan and never made it up to see Uecker, I would suggest taking time to make the climb. It is an unique piece of Milwaukee Baseball and everyone such get their picture taken with Uecker at least once.
