Fans encouraged to get hyped ahead of Brewers first playoff game

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Tickets are still available to see the Brewers play the first series in the playoffs. The Brewers will face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at 6:08 p.m. 

But Monday morning, Oct. 2, at 6:08 a.m., the stands were being power washed as the team prepares to host the Diamondbacks at American Family Field. 

Gold Rally towels will be passed out to the first 40,000 fans at the game to fill the stands with blue and gold. 

"The fans really become the tenth man, especially in the post season," said Tom Hecht, vice president of consumer experience.

The organization wants to see the hype all around Milwaukee, not just at the stadium. It's an excitement that spills over to the team, and the players can feel it when October baseball hits Milwaukee. 

New postseason merchandise hit the Team Store on Monday, Oct. 2. It's the same gear you'll see the players wear throughout the playoffs. 

Now, there's just a few things left to do before Tuesday night's game. 

"Have some fun, but play clutch baseball, and get the key hits, key pitches and magic can happen," said Rick Schlesinger, president of business operations for the Brewers. 

And of course, in Milwaukee you can expect to see a new beer brewed and served just for the occasion. The Barrel Yard Taproom is serving up the Popcorn Pennant Chaser inside the stadium and while supplies last.

You can also watch the game from inside the Barrel Yard with a patio overlooking the third base line. No separate tickets are needed to get in or get a seat.
