Thousands of Brewers fans gather outside American Family Field for Game 3 watch party

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Despite being a couple thousand miles away, Brewers fans still got together Tuesday night, here at home. 

Energy was high at the UW Credit Union Plaza outside American Family Field, where around 3,000 fans got tickets to the Game 3 watch party. 

Some people were in line as early as 4 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. opening. 

We spoke with fans ahead of the game about what it means to be out here and the importance of rooting on the Crew while they're on the other side of the country. 

“It’s just the environment, to be honest, like all the fans, the fan base, like Milwaukee, I was born in Milwaukee -- best city, in my opinion. Love living here, it’s just all about the fans and support," said Brewers fan Dominic Danko. 

Another watch party will be held for Game 4.
