Anyone know...

How and when they’ll do ticket sales? I live in Milwaukee, so I’m pretty excited to catch 2 extra games up here!

Small amount of info – nothing on ticket sales.

Hotels

Does anyone know any hotels that are close to Miller Park?

I'm not sure there's much close to the ballpark...

I went to a couple of the Cubs games up there at the end of July and stayed downtown. There were a couple bars that offered free shuttles to and from Miller Park (Zims and Mo’s Irish Pub are the 2 I used). I’m not sure if they’ll offer the same for these games though.

So, since its a a Sunday night game

I guess it will subject to the ESPN blackout rules, meaning only those in the Chicago area will get to watch.

Probably true.

No info available at this time. As soon as I find out, I’ll post it.
