It’s a great time to be a Milwaukee Brewers fan, and for multiple reasons, now is the time to roll out the barrel and attend a home game.

Not only is Milwaukee riding a 10-game win streak as the hottest team in baseball as of the start of play July 21, but having a barrel of fun at American Family Field is one of the most affordable experiences in the majors.

For athletes, it’s often said that availability is the best ability; however, for fans, it could be argued that affordability matters even more.

New research from Action Network broke down what fans could expect to pay for a two-night stay and a ballpark experience in each city. According to the study, attending Brewers games is the fifth-most affordable option among all 30 teams.

Action Network found that a two-night Airbnb stay in Milwaukee averages $290.78, with game-day tickets priced at $76. Fans can grab a meal for $18.50, order a beer for $5, and utilize one-way local transport for $2, while parking near the stadium starts at $17.

For context, the same study highlighted reigning World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, as being the most expensive team to watch.

A two-night Airbnb stay in Los Angeles averaged $341.22, and game-day tickets averaged $177. Meanwhile, the average inexpensive meal cost $25, beer was priced at $8.50, and the starting price for parking near the stadium was $35.

Despite the significantly more expensive experience for Dodgers fans, their team was swept at home July 18-20 by the Brewers, who were left tied for the second-best record in baseball at 59-40.

Simply put, a more expensive experience doesn’t necessarily mean a more enjoyable one.

Milwaukee’s small-market squad has shocked many viewers this season with how well it has performed on the field, but it hasn’t done so at the expense of its fans, who can still attend a game for a bargain compared to some other cities.

The team was to begin a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners (53-46) on July 21 as it continues its six-game road stretch following the all-star break, before returning home July 25 to face the Miami Marlins.

Considering the team is tied for the second-most wins at home this season at 33, it could be a worthwhile investment to call some friends and make sure that the gang’s all there to sing out a song of good cheer for the next Brewers’ home game.
