USDBrewers Parking at American Family Field (2026)
World Series: Brewers lead 3-0 and can clinch Tuesday in Tampa; Games 6 and 7 come back here October 30 and 31 only if needed
- The games: the Brewers won Game 1, 3-2, on October 23 and Game 2, 5-4, on October 24 at American Family Field, then won Game 3, 10-1, at Tropicana Field on October 26 to lead the series 3-0 (ESPN box score, October 26). Game 4 is Tuesday, October 27 in Tampa and a Brewers win ends the series; Game 5 is Wednesday, October 28, only if needed. Game 6 comes back to Milwaukee on Friday, October 30 only if the Rays win Games 4 and 5, and Game 7 on Saturday, October 31 only if they also win Game 6. MLB lists every game at 7:00 p.m. CT, 8:00 p.m. ET, and WISN's guide adds a 6 p.m. CT pregame for Games 6 and 7 (MLB postseason schedule, WISN, verified October 26, 2026; earlier (MLB schedule, MLB.com, verified October 20, 2026).
- Parking price: not published. The Brewers' postseason page sells parking with single-game tickets but gives no World Series price. Don't assume regular-season rates.
- Buy before you drive in: the Brewers encourage fans to buy parking in advance to guarantee a spot. Add it when you buy single-game tickets, use the parking link on their postseason page, or buy at or by phone from the American Family Field Ticket Office, (414) 902-4000, before game day. Advance passes are credit card only and arrive in the MLB Ballpark app; the Brewers say screenshots of passes are not accepted.
- Lots and gates: for World Series games the Brewers say parking lots open at 3:00 p.m. and the gates at 4:00 p.m., and "only fans with game tickets will be permitted to park on the premises." There's no early entry for tailgating (Brewers postseason page, verified October 21, 2026). Earlier in the postseason, for the NLDS, they opened lots 3.5 hours and gates 2.5 hours before first pitch.
- I-94 ramps at General Mitchell Boulevard: the eastbound I-94 exit to General Mitchell Boulevard and the westbound on-ramp from it are closed long term, through spring 2027, for the I-94 East-West project, but WisDOT says they "will be open and available for use on Brewers home playoff game days." CBS 58 quotes WisDOT saying both ramps will be open by 5 a.m. for home World Series games; WisDOT's own page gives no hours (WisDOT, CBS 58, verified October 22, 2026).
- Watch parties for road Games 3 and 4 are sold out: the Brewers are showing Games 3 and 4 on Monday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 27 inside American Family Field, starting at 7 p.m. Parking is $15 per vehicle in preferred lots and $10 in general parking, lots open at 4:30 p.m. and gates at 5 p.m. Tickets were $15, up to six per person. The Brewers' postseason page now says both are sold out; WISN reported they sold out within 30 minutes of the 10 a.m. Thursday on-sale, and FOX6 found resale tickets listed from more than $100 to as high as $400. The Brewers say Game 5 watch party details, if one is needed, will come later (MLB.com, Brewers postseason page, WISN, FOX6, verified October 23, 2026).
- Resale parking for Games 6 and 7 has moved: on October 27 at about 7:05 a.m. CT, Vivid Seats listed Game 6 parking passes from $115 with 43 listings left and Game 7 from $126 with 14 left, against $176 and $139 the morning before; on October 23 the Game 7 floor was $31. Those are resellers' asking prices that move by the hour, the Brewers refund nothing bought on the secondary market, and both games are played only if the Rays win Games 4 and 5 (Vivid Seats, read October 27, 2026).
- Bucks home opener the same day: the Milwaukee Bucks moved their home opener on Friday, October 23 from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. CT at Fiserv Forum, to keep it from overlapping with Game 1 (Fiserv Forum). Neither team has issued a traffic warning, so leave extra time on the drive downtown.
- Refunds for games that aren't played: if you buy single-game tickets and parking passes for a postseason game that doesn't happen, the Brewers refund the purchase within 15 business days after the Brewers' postseason ends, with 5 to 7 more business days for it to show on your card. They don't refund anything bought on the secondary market (Brewers postseason page).
- Activate after you park: the lots read license plates, and there are no cashiers or scanners. Park where the attendant points, then scan the QR code on the nearest light pole or open the pass in the MLB Ballpark app and enter your plate, before you walk into the ballpark.
- Tailgating: allowed in every lot except staff lots and the Rideshare Lot, in a space you paid for. Only gas or propane grills with fuel shut-off valves and self-contained charcoal units, no open flames or wood fires, and it all ends 30 minutes after first pitch. There's no in-and-out parking.
- Accessible parking: a general pass plus a state-issued ADA permit or plates gets you into the accessible spaces, first come, first served. Free Aurora Health Care courtesy shuttles carry guests who need help from marked pickup spots to the nearest entrance.
- Without a car: Uber and Lyft use the Rideshare Lot at the south end of the Molitor Lot, reached from Bluemound Road and Yount Drive. Taxis use the transit area outside Helfaer Field, hotel and bar shuttles drop off near the Home Plate Gate, and MCTS buses (CONNECT 1 BRT on Wisconsin Avenue, Route 18 on National Avenue) are $2.75 a ride. Driving in, WisDOT's I-94 route planner, linked from the Brewers' parking page, maps the way to and from every lot.
Brewers parking is simple once you know three things: buy your pass before you drive in, activate it with your license plate after you park, and pick your lot by the way you're heading home. The lots are cashless, with no cashiers or scanners, and for the NLDS the Brewers say day-of-game parking will be limited.

Brewers Parking at a Glance: Lots, Tiers and Posted Prices
The Brewers count 16 parking lots and more than 12,000 stalls around the ballpark at 1 Brewers Way, Milwaukee, WI 53214. Their 2026 parking map sorts the fan lots into four tiers. Their parking page no longer posts a per-car price list, so the prices in the second table are the only ones the Brewers publish.
| Tier | Lots on the 2026 parking map | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| General | Molitor, Yount, Uecker | The Rideshare Lot sits at the south end of Molitor. Tailgate grids are in Yount and Uecker. |
| Preferred | Fingers, Money, Cooper, Braves 1 and 2, Brewers 1 and 2, American Family, Kuenn | Bus parking and the Tailgate Haus are in the American Family Lot. Motorcycles and scooters park in the Cooper Lot at the general rate. |
| Gold Preferred | Thomas, Aaron | Accessible spaces are marked next to these lots, and WisDOT's ADA routes go to them and to Brewers 2. |
| Platinum (EZ-In/EZ-Out) | Gantner | The only Platinum lot on the map. |
| What you're parking | Price the Brewers post |
|---|---|
| A car at a World Series home game | Not posted. Passes are sold with single-game tickets, through the Brewers' postseason page and at the Ticket Office before game day. |
| A car at a regular-season game | Not posted on the Brewers' parking page. |
| An oversized vehicle, 18 to 36 feet long (pays for two stalls) | $34 general or $54 preferred on weekdays; $44 general or $84 preferred on Opening Day, Cubs games and Saturday and Sunday games. |
| A tailgate grid, six spaces in the Yount or Uecker Lot | Price from Brewers Group Sales, (414) 902-4777. Two passes per grid, with entry one hour before the lots open. |
| The Tailgate Haus, for private parties of up to 150 | $800 rental. |
| A Tailgate Pavilion, one of seven along the Menomonee River, for 40 to 80 guests | $300 to $600 rental. |
How much does parking cost at American Family Field?
The Brewers haven't posted a price for postseason parking, including the World Series, and their parking page no longer lists a per-car rate for regular-season games. The one rate list it still carries, for oversized vehicles, shows how the tiers work: preferred costs more than general, and Opening Day, Cubs games and Saturday and Sunday games cost more than weekday games. Season Seat Members can prepay parking for every game in their plan at a discount to the day-of-game price; the Brewers say members saved up to 60% in 2026.
Parking or rideshare? The Brewers describe American Family Field as just minutes from downtown Milwaukee, and Uber and Lyft drop off and pick up at the Rideshare Lot at the south end of the Molitor Lot. Compare the fare your app quotes with the parking price shown when you buy. For the NLDS, the Brewers say day-of-game parking will be limited, which makes a prepaid pass or a ride the safer plan.
When do the lots open before a Brewers game?
NLDS Games 1 and 2: the Brewers' release said lots open 3.5 hours before first pitch and gates 2.5 hours before. That was lots at 4 p.m. and gates at 5 p.m. CT for Saturday's 7:30 p.m. game, and lots at 11:30 a.m. and gates at 12:30 p.m. for Sunday's 3 p.m. game. For World Series games the Brewers say lots open at 3:00 p.m. and gates at 4:00 p.m.; first pitch is 7:00 p.m. CT (8:00 p.m. ET).
Regular season: lots open 3 hours before Saturday and Sunday games and weekday 12:40 or 1:10 p.m. games, and 2.5 hours before weekday 6:10 and 6:40 p.m. games. Gates open 90 minutes before most games and 2 hours before Saturday games and Opening Day. Early entry for tailgating isn't allowed, and the Brewers say all lot and game times are subject to change. Tailgate grid buyers get two passes that let them into the grid one hour before the lots open.
How the license plate system works: every Brewers lot uses license plate recognition. Attendants direct you to a spot, and there are no cashiers or scanners. With a prepaid pass, park first, then scan the QR code on the nearest light pole, or open the pass in the MLB Ballpark app and tap “TAP HERE TO ACTIVATE PARKING TODAY”, and enter your plate. A printed pass needs its 12-digit barcode when you activate. With an ADA placard, choose “I have an ADA placard” when the app shows “Lot Mismatch Detected.” To buy on site, scan the same QR code, choose “PURCHASE A PARKING PASS” and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a credit card; parking ambassadors and pay stations can help if you can't scan. Activate or buy before you walk into the ballpark, or you risk a parking violation. Without a phone, use the activation kiosks inside the ballpark at Home Plate, the Left Field Corner or the Right Field Corner.
Where is the official rideshare pickup zone?
Uber and Lyft use the Rideshare Lot at the south end of the Molitor Lot, reached by car from Bluemound Road and Yount Drive. On foot, leave through the Home Plate Gate and walk north to the Molitor Lot. Tailgating isn't allowed in the Rideshare Lot.
Taxis drop off and pick up at the transit area outside Helfaer Field. Hotel and bar shuttles use the drop-off area near the Ticket Office and Home Plate Gate, reached from Yount Drive; the Brewers post a shuttle map and tell fans to check with the hotel or bar for service.
Can I buy a Brewers parking pass online?
Yes. For the 2026 postseason, single-game ticket buyers can add advance parking while ordering, subject to ticket availability, and the Brewers' postseason page is where the Brewers sell postseason parking. Advance passes are credit card only and arrive in the MLB Ballpark app. You can also buy at, or by calling, the American Family Field Ticket Office before game day. During the postseason it's open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on game days from 9 a.m. through the 5th inning.
Refunds: if you buy single-game tickets and parking for a postseason game that isn't played, the Brewers refund the purchase to your card within 15 business days after their postseason ends; per-order delivery fees aren't refunded. The Brewers' parking pages don't spell out a refund or transfer policy for regular-season passes.
Which Brewers lot has the fastest post-game exit?
The one that points you home. With I-94 East-West construction ongoing, WisDOT's route planner, which the Brewers link from their parking and traffic pages, lists the way out of every lot. In short:
- Heading west on I-94: the Fingers, Money, Cooper, Braves, Brewers, Thomas and Aaron lots feed General Mitchell Boulevard and the westbound ramp (on Selig Drive, use the left lane). American Family, Kuenn and Gantner cross Frederick Miller Way to WIS 175 north, then I-94 west. Yount and Uecker go south on Selig Drive, then right on Frederick Miller Way to WIS 175 north. From Molitor, WisDOT's route is Bluemound Road to 84th Street.
- Heading east toward downtown: from the Money east exit and the Cooper, Braves and Brewers lots, take the right lane of Selig Drive to General Mitchell Boulevard and the eastbound ramp. Yount and Uecker go south on Selig Drive, then left on Canal Street to 25th Street and I-94 east. American Family, Kuenn, Gantner, Thomas, Aaron and Fingers use WIS 175 north to I-94 east.
WisDOT also lists Bluemound Road, Greenfield/National Avenue and Canal Street as local options. Every lot closes within one hour after the game, and there's no overnight parking.
Parking vs. rideshare vs. transit: your options
What each option costs and where it leaves you, from the Brewers' transportation pages, checked October 2, 2026.
| Option | Cost | Where it leaves you | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive and park | World Series price not posted | Your lot, where attendants direct you | Buy ahead, activate your plate after you park, no in-and-out |
| Uber or Lyft | Your app's fare | Rideshare Lot, south end of the Molitor Lot | Reached from Bluemound Road and Yount Drive; walk north from the Home Plate Gate after the game |
| Taxi | The meter | Transit area outside Helfaer Field | Marked on the Brewers' parking map |
| MCTS bus | $2.75 per ride | CONNECT 1 BRT on Wisconsin Avenue; Route 18 at National Avenue and 43rd Street; Route 74 at Miller Parkway and National Avenue | All within about a 15-minute walk, per the Brewers. They note planned Route 18 detours east of the ballpark for I-94 work, so check RideMCTS.com |
| Hotel or bar shuttle | Set by the hotel or bar | Near the Ticket Office and Home Plate Gate, via Yount Drive | Ask where you're staying; the Brewers post a shuttle map |
| Bike or walk | Free | Hank Aaron State Trail | Paved path from the lakefront; bike racks near Helfaer Field, the Left Field Gate, the Club Express entrance and the Clock Tower entrance |
Bottom line: for the World Series, a prepaid pass activated after you park is the simplest plan. If you don't have one, the Brewers urge fans to buy ahead to guarantee a spot, so rideshare, a hotel or bar shuttle, MCTS or the Hank Aaron State Trail are your backups.
Game day rules that catch people out
- Activate before you walk in. Park, scan the light-pole QR code or use the MLB Ballpark app, and enter your plate. Parking that isn't bought or activated before you enter the ballpark can get a violation.
- No in-and-out. If you leave the lot, re-entry costs a full charge, if there's space.
- Arrive together. Spaces can't be saved for friends arriving later, one vehicle goes in each space, and you can't buy an extra space to tailgate. Six-space tailgate grids are sold through Group Sales at (414) 902-4777.
- Grill rules. Only state-approved gas or propane units with fuel shut-off valves and self-contained charcoal units are allowed, with no open flames or wood fires. Dump coals in the bins at the base of the lot lights.
- Tailgating ends 30 minutes after first pitch. Then everyone goes into the ballpark or leaves the grounds. No selling or soliciting, and no bringing your own portable restrooms.
- Skip Milwaukee Road and Wheelhouse Road. Cars parked there on game days can be ticketed or towed.
