MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — Pop star Ed Sheeran played a sold-out concert to fans at Miller Park on Wednesday night, but plenty of people nearly missed him because of traffic getting into the parking lot. 

"I left Oconto today at 3:00 p.m. to make sure we'd have plenty of time to get to the park," Angela Marie said. "Hit 94 at 5:45 and didn't get into the show until 9:15 because of that nightmare you called parking."

Fans already had to wait a full day to see Sheeran. Because of the Brewers playoff run and tour set up, the concert was pushed back a day. However, the readjustments were only beginning. Bumper to bumper traffic had fans gridlocked. Some say it took over an hour to move less than a mile.

"It should not take me three hours to get from the airport to Miller Park," Lora Radojevic said. "This is ridiculous."

Many of the concert-goers took to Twitter to vent their frustrations. Many missed the opener, Snow Patrol, and nearly missed the headliner, Sheeran. 

 

 

Another person said only one person was working in the parking lot she entered.

"I'm so angry about Miller Park parking right now," Jordyn Jurss said. "We couldn't have even handled a World Series if it was here. Letting one car into the lot at a time is ridiculous."

WTMJ television station in Milwaukee has reached out to the Brewers about the parking lot issues. They have no issued a response yet.
