Brewers Fans Took Over Tropicana Field, and the Baseball World Noticed

Brewers fans pulled off one of the most insane road takeovers in World Series history, absolutely flooding Tropicana Field for Games 3 and 4 and making it sound like a home game for Milwaukee. St. Petersburg was hosting its first World Series in 18 years, but it was the faithful from Milwaukee who truly jumped at the opportunity, shocking the entire baseball world.

The Trop Turned Gold and Blue

Seriously, you had to see this to believe it. Tropicana Field, the Rays’ home turf, was awash in navy blue and yellow. An angle from Game 3 after Christian Yelich got a hit showed Brewers fans erupting, and it definitely did not give the impression that Rays fans were the majority. This wasn’t just a few pockets of away fans, either. Pictures from inside “The Trop” showed so much Brewers gear, you’d swear it was American Family Field in October. The atmosphere was electric, but it was Milwaukee providing the juice.

Erasing Home Field Advantage with Pure Passion

The impact on the field was undeniable. Brewers starter Dustin May had his name chanted throughout Game 4, a wild scene for a road World Series game. Even in the concourse, the passion was overflowing. With the Rays already down 3-0 in the series, a huge portion of the concourse down the third baseline broke out into a loud “LET’S GO BREWERS” chant. You know fans don’t actually hit the ball or throw strikes, but receiving that kind of reception on the road absolutely has to get into a team’s head. The Brewers looked totally comfortable in Game 3, dropping a 10-1 beatdown on the Rays, and that crowd energy probably played a part in them erasing any home-field advantage.

The Brewers are hoping to leave Tampa Bay this week as World Series champions. With their fans showing out in such an incredible way, you have to wonder if this road takeover will be the final push the team needs to close out their first championship.
