For some fans, the trip south is about more than baseball. It\u2019s also about saving money.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s cheaper to fly here and buy a ticket than it was in Milwaukee, and I think you have a lot of snowbirds down here, so there\u2019s just a lot of Milwaukee people are already probably in the area,\u201d one Brewers fan told WINK News.<\/p>\n
World Series tickets in Milwaukee have commanded significantly higher prices on the resale market than those in St. Petersburg, prompting some fans to travel more than a thousand miles to see their team play.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And with the Brewers taking a commanding 3-0 series lead following Monday night\u2019s 10-1 victory over the Rays, Milwaukee supporters are feeling confident about their team\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Tampa\u2019s a little bit down right now. I think, they\u2019re gonna struggle a little bit. Fans aren\u2019t gonna be there for Tampa, and Brewer fans are in full force,\u201d another fan said.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee is making its first World Series appearance since 1982 and is now just one victory away from its first championship.<\/p>\n
Game 4 is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday at Tropicana Field, where the Rays will try to keep their season alive against a Brewers team backed by a traveling contingent of passionate fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
