Each fall, on the last home stand of the year, the Brewers hold a fan appreciation night. Traditionally, the team hands out prizes like a new car, and signed gear. This season there's a dilemma, thanks to who is on the schedule: The dreaded Chicago Cubs.
"They all come up here thinking they own the place," said fan Rachel Evanow.
"They come here in droves," said another.
Brewers fans can't stomach the idea of Cubs fans walking away with prizes intended for them.
"I hate the Cubs. The Cubs suck," said Evanow.
And the Brewers agree -- they're breaking tradition and fan appreciation night is being moved two weeks earlier, to September 19th, against the last place Cincinnati Reds.
Brewers fans say breaking tradition this year is worth it.
"The Cubs fans are just not very friendly people," a Brewers fan said.
While they won't end up on top, there is hope there are still wins worth cheering for.
In a statement, the Brewers say this was a common sense decision. The Cubs are in playoff race, and their fans will likely be in Milwaukee in droves.
