"This is so electrifying. People just want to be around the stadium. If they can't get into it, they can definitely come to Bluemound Road," Dugout54 owner, Kelly Vecitis said.

Vecitis was eager to see fans back after a big win on Saturday. He tells TMJ4 that for this rivalry in the postseason preparation is similar to opening day, with doubling up on staff and inventory.

"We're blessed with enough help that can help out, whether they're teachers, during the day, and can help us out at night," Vecitis stated. "They're looking at the schedule. They want to be here. They want to be part of the action."

Cubs fans are welcome, but they might catch some grief.

"Yes, you get them in here. Once in a while, you're going to get that boo, but they're here just to spend money like everybody else and just enjoy what's going on," Vecitis said.
