American Family Field

American Family Field features North America's only fan-shaped convertible roof, which can open and close in less than 10 minutes.

Large panes of glass allow natural grass to grow, augmented with heat lamp structures wheeled out across the field during the off-season.

[7] In 2023, Wisconsin lawmakers entered into an agreement with the Milwaukee Brewers to spend nearly half a billion dollars of public funds on stadium renovations.

There was some talk of having the Brewers move to American Family Field in the middle of 2000, but it was determined that too many issues would need to be resolved for it to be a realistic possibility.

Major elements of the pivot system behind home plate and the outfield roof track have been replaced, even after the crane incident.

The 10 new, 24-foot-long (7.3 m), 60 horsepower (45 kW) bogies were paid for with money from the settlement between the stadium district and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of America.

"The bogies will last for the life of the facility," said Mike Duckett, executive director of the then named Miller Park stadium district.

The picnic area has a capacity of 75 and provides a place for fans to watch the game in a leisurely setting and be within feet of the right-fielder.

Known first as the Mercedes-Benz Field Haus,[22] the picnic area's name was changed to AirTran Airways Landing Zone in 2009,[23] and to the ATI Club in 2012.

[24] In 2017, due to a contract dispute between ATI and the Brewers,[25] it was apparently billed as the Right Field Patio until gaining its sponsorship as the Aurora Health Care Bullpen in 2018.

[27] During the off-season between 2010 and 2011, the stadium's original centerfield scoreboard (a smaller videoboard atop a larger black and amber message display board) was replaced by a full-length and full color Daktronics 1080p HD display board which was the ninth-largest screen among MLB stadiums as of 2012,[28] along with a public address/sound system upgrade.

[30] In late 2023, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed into effect a bill totaling $500 million of taxpayer money to allow for repairs, ensuring the team remains in Milwaukee until 2050, despite threats of relocation by the MLB.

These vendors include: Kompali Tacos, Smokin' Jack's BBQ, Kawa (Asian fusion), and Anytime Arepa (Venezuelan).

Visitors may purchase parking in advance at a discounted rate, or may pay when they arrive via QR codes across the stadium grounds.

[34] In 2011, the Brewers set a franchise record of 3,071,373, and beginning in 2004 they have attracted at least two million fans—an ongoing streak of 15 consecutive years, the 12th longest in Major League history.

On opening day April 6, 2001, President George W. Bush and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig had first pitch honors for the stadium.

When Joe Borowski came in to close for the Indians, the song "Wild Thing" was played over the PA system, in an homage to the film.

[53] During the 2014 All-Star break, American Family Field hosted an untelevised international friendly match between Swansea City and Chivas of Guadalajara on July 16, 2014.

[76] On November 11, 2022, the University of Wisconsin Badgers hosted a basketball doubleheader at American Family Field called the "Brew City Battle".

The Arctic Tailgate is an annual event where fans camp outside American Family Field the day before single game tickets are sold, which is usually the last weekend of February.

[79] American Family Field was also a major filming location for the motion picture Mr. 3000, which centered on a fictional Brewers player played by comedian Bernie Mac.
