At the Game

American Family Field opened in 2001 and has been home to the Milwaukee Brewers on the edge of Miller Valley — fitting, given Milwaukee's deep beer culture. The park holds just under 42,000 fans and features a retractable roof, one of only a handful in MLB, providing insurance against Wisconsin's unpredictable spring and fall weather. The field is natural grass, and the overall design is comfortable and fan-friendly.

The tailgating culture around American Family Field is genuinely exceptional — one of the best in baseball. The large parking lots fill up hours before first pitch with grills, beers, and the full Wisconsin tailgate experience. The stadium sits just west of downtown Milwaukee and while transit options are more limited than some parks, the tailgating more than compensates. Inside, the retractable roof makes it a distinctive experience whatever the weather.

Special Features

The Retractable Roof

American Family Field is one of only a handful of MLB stadiums with a retractable roof, and it's uniquely fan-shaped. The roof can open or close in under 10 minutes, and the large glass panels allow natural light in even when it's closed — making it feel open even on rainy Wisconsin days.

The tailgating culture at American Family Field is among the best in baseball. The large surrounding parking lots fill up hours before first pitch with grills going and drinks flowing in classic Wisconsin fashion — arrive at least 90 minutes early to fully experience it.

Tailgating
Bernie Brewer's Slide

The Brewers' mascot Bernie Brewer sits in his chalet above left field and slides down into a giant mug of beer every time a Brewer hits a home run. It's one of the most beloved mascot celebrations in baseball and a genuine crowd moment every time.
