American Family Field sits west of downtown Milwaukee in the Menomonee River Valley, a retractable-roof ballpark where Brewers games continue rain or shine under the only fan-shaped convertible roof in baseball. MCTS buses and the CONNECT BRT on Wisconsin Avenue reach the area, and several downtown hotels run shuttle services on game days. Kelly's Bleachers is the legendary pre-game tailgate bar, and the parking lots — which use license-plate recognition instead of tickets — fill with grills hours before first pitch.
