I-94 construction
Dig deeper:
A major construction project on Interstate 94 could snarl traffic before and after Brewers World Series games. The I-94 East-West project covers more than three miles of highway between 16th Street and 70th Street, including the Stadium Interchange. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has a page dedicated to finding the best routes to the stadium, regardless of which direction you’re driving from.

Driving and parking lots
American Family Field parking lots will open at 3 p.m. The Milwaukee Brewers have a license plate recognition system for all parking lots, and while attendants will direct vehicles where to park, there are no cashiers. Fans can pre-purchase parking and activate it once they arrive, or scan an onsite QR code.
Shuttles and rideshare
Approved shuttle services from local hotels and bars drop fans off near the Home Plate Gate. Find a list of approved shuttle providers on the Brewers’ website. Rideshare companies, like Uber and Lyft, have a Rideshare Lot on the south end of the Molitor Lot.
MCTS buses
Milwaukee County Transit System buses operate within walking distance of American Family Field, but none stop directly at the ballpark. The CONNECT BRT stops at 44th Street and Wisconsin Avenue north of the stadium, Route 18 stops at 43rd Street and National Avenue south of the stadium, and Route 74 stops on 43rd Street/Miller Park Way/Brewers Boulevard at both National Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue.
Walking and biking
The Hank Aaron State Trail for pedestrians and bicyclists leads from the lakefront to the stadium, and there are bike racks located near American Family Field’s Tailgate Haus, Helfaer Field and Ballpark Plaza. A Bublr bike station with 23 docks can be found near the Gantner Lot.
Tailgating at American Family Field
Fan experience:
The Brewers allow tailgate in all American Family Field parking lots, except the employee and rideshare lots. Only ticketholders are allowed in the lots. Tailgating activities must end 30 minutes after the game starts, and all fans must enter the ballpark or vacate the premises. Parking lots close one hour after the game, and vehicles must be removed or they’ll be ticketed/towed at the owner’s expense.
Only state-approved gas/propane units and self-contained charcoal units are permitted, and all tailgate activities must follow the law – underage drinking is prohibited. A complete list of do’s and dont’s is on the Brewers’ website.
