Being surrounded by fellow fans at the watch parties was an important part of the Game 2 experience for attendees.
"It’s been so amazing. The vibes are great. Everything is awesome. We were out here for the bucks championship so it is nice to be back in Deer District for a Brewers World Series game," said Hanna Viviani.
At Nomad World Pub, some fans got to the watch party hours before first pitch to secure their ideal viewing spot. Weston Wouters was one of those fans. He was at Nomad to watch Game 1 on Friday and came back to the watch party for Game 2 because of the energetic atmosphere.
"[The] city was buzzing, chairs were in the air, everyone was dancing around, people on tables," said Wouters.
Wouters was at a table with Monica Askelson. She later went to American Family Field to watch Game 2 in person.
"My wonderful sons... paid for their mom to go tonight, so I am just extremely blessed and very grateful," said Askelson.
