Brewers-Cubs Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brewers-Cubs Series (also referred to as the "I-94 Series") is a Major League Baseball rivalry between National League Central Division foes Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs, two teams whose ballparks are located only 83.3 miles from each other off Interstate 94. This rivalry has been most prominent since 1998, when the Brewers moved from the American League to the National League. Nevertheless, the series has been very competitive: As of August 10, 2006, the Brewers lead the series 71-69.
During games in Milwaukee, it is not uncommon for there to be more visiting Cubs fans than home Brewers fans. This is largely due to the Brewers organization having offered ticket packages in the Chicago (and St. Louis) markets over the past few seasons. However, during the 2006 season, the Milwaukee Brewers have started the "Take Back Miller Park" campaign to regain home field advantage. This has had mild success so far.[1]
