MILWAUKEE, Wis. (KABC) -- A die-hard baseball fan in Wisconsin built a replica of Miller Park that doubles as a grill. He calls his masterpiece, "Griller Park."

Fans at Miller Park in Milwaukee are known for their elaborate tailgate parties, complete with grills.

Matt Tyler, an engineer by trade, has gone one step further. He built a replica of Miller Park that functions as a grill.

Why?

"I guess mostly because I could," he said. "I spent a lot of time looking at photos of Miller Park and going there. It gave me a good excuse to go to more games."

Tyler said the hardest part was figuring out how to give "Griller Park" a retractable roof so that he could cook his brats.

Next up, Tyler plans to create a grill that resembles Lambeau Field, home of the Packers and the Cheeseheads.
