About American Family Field
American Family Field — known as Miller Park until 2021 — is a testament to the union of modern engineering and traditional baseball charm. Since its inauguration in 2001, it has served as the home of the Milwaukee Brewers. One of the stadium's most distinguishing features is its fan-shaped retractable roof, which ensures games can be played in comfort regardless of Wisconsin's sometimes unpredictable weather. The ballpark is also known for its "Bernie Brewer" mascot slide, a delightful spectacle activated whenever the home team hits a home run. With its brick facade and arched windows, American Family Field echoes baseball's storied past, while providing fans with state-of-the-art amenities. The combination makes for an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and contemporary, making every game a memorable experience for Brewers fans.
