What it's known for
American Family Field’s roof opens and closes like a fan, so games happen regardless of Wisconsin weather. The big parking lots around the stadium are the place to be before the game: Milwaukee fans tailgate with grills and bratwurst like it’s football season.
Two Brewers traditions stand out. Bernie Brewer slides down a slide in left field after home runs, and during the sixth inning the Famous Racing Sausages run a race around the warning track.
Getting there
The stadium is west of downtown Milwaukee near I-94. It’s largely a drive-in ballpark with big parking lots; some local bars run shuttles to games.
Tips for your visit
- Go early and tailgate; it’s a big part of the experience here.
- Watch for the sausage race in the sixth inning.
- Milwaukee is about 90 miles from Chicago, which makes a three-park trip with Wrigley Field and Rate Field easy.
