	Ballpark Digest -- Ballpark Visits -- Miller Park / Milwaukee Brewers
		Miller Park is indeed retro, but not retro in the exposed-truss/brick-wall retro that marks Oriole Park or Safeco Field (though there is definitely a lot of exposed girders and brick walls at Miller Park).
		Miller Park is 330 feet tall at the peak of the arches.) The immensity of the stands and the roof is tempered by the sheet of glass that sits between them.
		For such a spacious stadium, Miller Park doesn't actually seat that many: the capacity of 42,400 is on a par with many newer stadiums, but it feels less intimate than its predecessor, County Stadium, which held 53,000 in an open-air layout.
