Baseball Primer has a post on the Brewers trying to attract women to their games. The are using gimmicks such as massages and floral arrangement demonstrations to bring in the female fans. As I read the article, it struck me as the wrong approach. Why not bring women in because baseball is fun to watch? A later on in the article, a female fan agreed:

But Lisa Olsen of Milwaukee said it "sounds kind of ridiculous."

Olsen, noting the 15-2 Brewers' loss Wednesday, said more women might attend the games if the Brewers won.

"This is pathetic," she said.

"I don't need makeup tips to bring me to a game."

I also wonder if women don't come to Brewers games because it's not safe. The recent problems in Chicago remind me that the old County Stadium had a reputation for fans and ballplayers getting into scuffles due to the lack of security. Any Brewers fans want to fill me in on how security is at the new ballpark?
