The Chronology

Your complete game day timeline at American Family Field.

Arrive and start tailgating

Pull into the general lots early and claim your spot. Fire up the grill, crack open a beer, and join the tailgate scene that makes Miller Park, sorry, American Family Field, famous.

2 hours before first pitch

Peak tailgate hours

The lots are in full swing. Brats, burgers, and beer everywhere. Neighbors share food and play cornhole. The smell of charcoal fills the parking lots.

Gates open (90 minutes before first pitch)

Head inside

Walk through the main gates and explore the concourse. Check out the team store or grab a beer at one of the craft bars inside.

60 minutes before first pitch

Watch batting practice

Head to the outfield sections for BP. The retractable roof may be open or closed. When open, the natural light transforms the ballpark.

30 minutes before first pitch

Find your seat

Settle in and watch the pregame ceremonies. The video board runs lineups and highlights.

First pitch

Play ball

Nine innings of Brewers baseball. The crowd is engaged from pitch one, Milwaukee fans know their baseball.

Middle of the 6th inning

Famous Racing Sausages

The Bratwurst, Polish Sausage, Italian Sausage, Hot Dog, and Chorizo race around the warning track. Pick your sausage and cheer them on. It's a Milwaukee institution.

Post-game

Tailgate round two

The parking lot tailgate continues after the final out. Finish the brats, rehash the game, and enjoy the most relaxed post-game exit in baseball.
