As the Milwaukee Brewers aim to secure their first World Series title, a wave of devoted fans is making the journey to Tampa for Game 4. Early Tuesday morning flights from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport provide an opportunity to reach Florida in time for the opening pitch, and many supporters are seizing it.
Tropicana Field has already been transformed into a vibrant sea of blue and yellow by Brewers fans, and the noise level during Game 3 was so intense that it seemed like a home game for Milwaukee. With the team on the brink of a championship, even more fans are expected to head south to witness what could be a historic moment.
"I'm so excited, I can't even think straight," one enthusiastic fan remarked. Several morning flights, predominantly on Southwest Airlines, can get fans to Florida before the game begins. One flight departing Milwaukee at 10:20 a.m. has fares starting at $482.
Among those making the trip are Josh and Noah Fritz, a father-son duo who flew out Tuesday morning. They shared their excitement about attending Game 4. "We are sweeping. I can feel it already," Noah Fritz said when asked about the possibility of the Brewers completing a series sweep.
Tickets for Tuesday night's game are still available, but they come at a steep price. Standing-room-only tickets are priced at more than $1,000. For fans hoping to witness the Brewers' first World Series title, the cost could be priceless.
