What’s Up, Milwaukee

Green Man

By - Jul 19th, 2010 04:00 am

In part three of ThirdCoast Digest’s summer series, intern Hannah Thulin immerses herself deep into the crazy fandom at Miller Park to discover what’s up with “Green Man.”

If you haven’t heard of him yet, Green Man is a dedicated Brewer fan dressed from head to toe in green spandex. But TCD digs deeper to find out what motivates this man to continually show up in neon tights. Where did he come from? Why is he so obsessed with the Brewers? Why do fans love him so much?

After learning much about this adored character at Miller Park maybe you too can catch a glimpse of him at the next game or get lucky enough to have him crash your tailgating experience — fist-pumping all night long, of course.

    pretty obnoxious and completely unoriginal… not deserving of a feature piece if you ask me (but hell, neither am I). it was funny the first time when i saw him in that episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia three years ago.
