MILWAUKEE\u2014 With a new season approaching and major developments around American Family Field<\/a>, the Milwaukee Brewers are addressing two key concerns for fans: how to get in and out of the ballpark and how to watch games. <\/p>\n

Brewers Gameday Traffic<\/p>\n

Ongoing construction along I-94 is expected to impact travel to the ball park, particularly with a major stretch between 70th Street and 16th Street undergoing long-term work. While some eastbound lanes are expected to reopen, westbound closures are set in place throughout much of the season. <\/p>\n

Team President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger says improving traffic flow and accessibility is a priority, especially with new attractions drawing more fans to the stadium earlier in the day. He is asking for fans to stay patient. <\/p>\n

The team is encouraging fans to plan ahead for parking and arrival times, particularly, during high-attendance games. Officials say traffic patterns around the stadium\u2013 especially near major entry points like Brewers Boulevard and High 175\u2014 can become congested, and early arrival will help ease delays. The team is working with the Department of Transportation and local officials to ease congestion on these game days. That includes added staffing around the stadium, traffic management support, and tools designed to guide fans to the most efficient parking routes. <\/p>\n

Fans can also use an interactive traffic map<\/a>, which is available online and through the MLB Ballpark App<\/a>, to find the best route to specific parking lots based on where you are coming from. QR codes will again be used for parking, allowing fans to either prepay or purchase passes upon arrival by scanning codes located throughout the lots. <\/p>\n

Beyond traffic, the Brewers are also focused on improving access to games off the field.
