MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Grab your brats and beers, because a popular gameday tradition is returning to American Family Field.
The Milwaukee Brewers, with support from the City of Milwaukee Health Department, are allowing fans to tailgate at the ballpark.
“Tailgating is a Wisconsin tradition; it is how we begin our day at the ballpark,” said Brewers President – Business Operations Rick Schlesinger in a news release. “We have been in regular contact with the City of Milwaukee Health Department and the opening series was operationally sound. With safety protocols and our fans’ diligence, we are now able to bring back tailgating for those within a seating pod. We appreciate the fans’ patience as we take another step in our efforts to provide the best fan experience in sports.”
As mentioned, tailgating will be restricted to those within seating pods. Fans are asked to stay within the immediate area of their vehicle.
Tailgating will be allowed beginning April 12, which is the next Brewers home game. Parking gates will open three hours ahead of first pitch, expect for 6:40 p.m. weekday games when gates will open two and a half hours prior.
In addition to allowing tailgating again, the team is restructuring seating arrangements at American Family Field to allow for more two-person pods.
