Getting Around

American Family Field sits just west of downtown Milwaukee off Interstate 94. It is not served by rail transit, so most fans drive or use rideshare, with game-day shuttles, and the park is famous for its tailgating culture.

Parking

Large lots surround the park and are a tailgating destination in their own right. Arrive early to tailgate and to ease the postgame exit.

Best Seats & Views

Lower-level seats along the infield offer the closest views, sheltered by the park's distinctive fan-shaped retractable roof. Watch the outfield for Bernie Brewer's dugout and slide.

Where to Stay

Options near the park offer game-day convenience, while downtown Milwaukee and the lakefront are a short drive away with more to do. Compare dates for the best rates.

Nearby Attractions

Downtown Milwaukee, the lakefront, and the Historic Third Ward are a short drive from the park, and the tailgate lots themselves are part of the experience.

Ballpark History

Opened in 2001, American Family Field is known for its distinctive fan-shaped retractable roof, replacing old County Stadium. It's famous for tailgating, the Famous Racing Sausages, and Bernie Brewer's slide.

Fan Tips

Tailgating in the lots is a Milwaukee tradition worth arriving early for. Watch the Famous Racing Sausages mid-game, and look for Bernie Brewer to slide after a Brewers home run.

Accessibility

American Family Field is a modern, accessible ballpark with accessible seating, entrances, and restrooms, and guest services to assist, plus accessible parking in the lots.

Neighborhood

The park sits west of downtown Milwaukee off the interstate — a tailgating-centered parking-lot setting rather than a walkable district, with downtown a short drive away.
