Miller Park

Miller Park is a first class MLB park. Always have an enjoyable experience whenever we attend a game.

Miller Park is just a fantastic stadium. Clean, easily navigated, with plenty of bathrooms and food options all throughout. It contains a retractable roof, so rain or shine you’ll have the best experience possible.
Brewers games are a blast here… especially with the Sausage race before the sixth inning!

Watched the Oakland A’s (my team) and Brewers 6÷7÷2016. While we had to wait for the 7^th inning to see if Oakland would show up for the game, the Brewers fan were more than fun and accomodating (I was in full A’s gear). We could have light-​hearted and fun sport jabs with no one taking things to seriously. I have never been to a game where you could take verbal jabs at each others teams while sharing bratchos, hotdogs and beer! Didnt meet one stranger at the game ;)

Had a great time at the game Monday in one of the suites. Lots of yummy food and a fantastic dessert cart. We had a gold pass but parking seemed easy enough.

This review is for previous visits to this beautiful park. As a former Milwaukee resident, I always found it weird how devoted baseball fans were to their own teams. As a New Orleans resident, we never had a professional baseball team, we had our saints, and the often dysfunctional Hornets/​Pelicans (just give us the damn Jazz Utah!). That and following 162 games in a season (not counting the playoffs) is simply ridiculous. However with that said, going to a baseball game in Milwaukee is such a treat. You are often greeted with borderline Canadian accents and a never ending supply of brats and Miller Lite. The times I’ve been to a baseball game were fun for a casual weekend.
Parking: the parking lot was never full the times I’ve been here. Sure, at times they’re crowded, but you always have options to carpool and find nearby private lots. Typically, I’ll find myself paying $ 20 for parking at the stadium (pretty steep in my opinion).
Venue: The cool thing about this baseball field is their retractable roof. On a chilly or rainy day/​night, they’ll close the roof. On beautiful days thy are open and you can just feel the beautiful Wisconsin weather (which happens only about 10 days in a calendar year). Seating was always fine and comfortable. We’ve sat in the bleachers and have had standard stadium seating. I’d have to say I prefer the bench seats, they had the rowdiest crowds and always had a couple of chuckles due to some drunk fans who would usually somehow have something clever to say to opponent fans.
Food: You MUST come here for $ 1 hot dog days! Yes, not all hot dogs are created equal, but considering the amount of money I’ve lost over the years on over priced beers and food in sports venues, it’s nice to «win» once in awhile. The day I took advantage of this, I had 3 hot dogs and stadium fries that came wth the collectible fry cup in the mold of a baseball helmet.
Atmosphere: depending on the occasion (they have concerts here too), you’ll find yourself having a good time here. I’ll speak for the baseball events and say that if you can score some cheap seats/​tickers, and have nothing else to do, then a visit to Miller Park is a must.

What a beautiful park! We had great seats next to the Cubs dugout! Everyone was friendly & very helpful, which is nice for old ladies with canes! ;-p

4.5 stars
Cool stadium. easy to get to, easy to park, every seat is pretty much a good seat unless you are in the back of the upper deck. Will be back.

It’s the home of the Brewers. It’s one of a very few ballparks that’s got a retractable roof! The Mighty Miller, as I like to call it, is one great place to see a game! Lot’s of room and excellent seating at just about any spot. What else do you need?
My personal favorite way of getting to the stadium is by popping into a local tavern such as Jack’s on Brady St. and taking a shuttle in. Makes for easy in and out. also another great option for tickets is finding a deal to one of the decks like the Mountain Dew Deck or the Gehl club. At these venues it’s an all you can eat smorgasborg of food and you get to see the game in style and comfort.
Miller Stadium is a good time in the parking lot too as tailgaters are in abundance. I just love the Brewers and our great stadium in this great city! Take me out to the ballgame anytime!

Awesome baseball experience! Love the fan shaped retractable roof. A comfortable experience no matter what the weather! Be sure you tailgate whenever possible.

Everyone is welcome and there’s something for everyone! History, great food and tuna read for the kids!

Illinois scum: stay in your dump Wrigley. I don’t care how many wins the cubs get, they still suck and so do you.
Brewers: let’s try not to embarrass ourselves, eh?

I just did a behind the scenes tour at Miller Park. I was a little skeptical on wether or not I was going to enjoy it as I am a Cubs fun, but I did.
I’ve been to Miller Park once or twice before for a Cubs vs Brewer game and have enjoyed myself. This time around, I was able to see the park in a different perspective. We went inside the press room, interview room, visitors clubhouse, dugout, the field and the suites! This was an awesome experience!

Ahhhh, Miller, gotta love baseball. I attend Brewers games for the fun and the food, not really to experience great baseball. Because I’m a passive, not active fan it doesn’t bother me if they aren’t having a great season when I attend a game.
Two factors that will affect your visit to Miller Park are the location and the roof. I went to 6 games throughout the 2015 season and 5 out of 6 the games the roof was closed. I get that it would have been sprinkling or a little cold if the roof was open on some of those days but I’m alright with a few elements when watching baseball. When the roof is closed somehow a giant stadium can feel a little claustrophobic. Luckily they still shoot off home run fireworks if the roof is closed, my favorite part! The location is not necessarily convenient to parts of Milwaukee where a lot of people live and work. If you’re tailgating then you’re driving anyways and the location won’t be a problem. If you’re not tailgating I recommend finding a bar shuttle. There are a lot from bars around the city, they’re free if you buy a drink, and it is relatively easy to catch the return trips, especially if you leave the game a little early like me (remember I said passive fan). If you’re a biker and coming from the city, the Hank Aaron trail is another option, it is a separated trail that runs along Canal St.
In terms of seats the price will depend on time of year and section. If you have it in your budget I recommend sitting in the 100s or 200s. The 400s (Terrace) are the cheap seats, still with fine view but harder access for treats and beers. If you are in the Terrace try for the first row of the Terrace «box» section because you’ll be looking right over the railing onto the field. One thing that can be said about the Terrace fans is they keep things interesting-​one game we saw a fist fight that included multiple people rolling down several rows of seats AND a proposal from the same section. Regardless of where you’re sitting, if you’re bringing kids you should definitely take them to the area on the first level behind first base, there are games, photo opps, and Hank’s dog house; they can even time themselves running the distance between the bases.
Finally, the food. Clearly baseball goes hand in hand with food so don’t head to your seat without picking up some type of greasy/​tasty fare. Miller has embraced the trend of ballparks offering outlandish food options such as the foot long brat, the beef and potato parfait, and bratchos (still haven’t quiet figured out the last one). If you’re in the mood for something sweet, check out the Holey Moley stand for a doughnut sandwich. They also have the traditional offerings like sausages, hot dogs and chicken wings if you’re not feeling up for a gut ache.
In summary, take me out to the ballgame (but let’s hope the roof is open)!

It’s hard to beat Miller Park for a tailgate/​ballgame experience. Nevermind how good or bad the Brewers are doing, that’s not the point of this review. We’re looking at the facilities here.
Tailgating
=======
Probably the best tailgating experience in the majors. Miller Park has over 12,000 parking spots. You pay more to park closer, but the lots farther out aren’t bad at all. Grilling, games and socializing — it’s like Oktoberfest every game. Everyone is there for the same reason, so everyone gets along with few issues. Even rival fans show up for the party and it’s all good. Parking opens 3 hours before the game, so plan accordingly. Tailgating is such a popular event that people show up just for that, and leave when the game starts. BTW: By the end of the second game, security will sweep through and have you go into the game or leave — they don’t let you party straight through…
The Game
========
Viewing a game at Miller Park is excellent. As a «newer» stadium (not so new anymore, but they planned well), seating was well thought out. Not many bad seats in the house. Amenities are plentiful, so if you need a beer or need to get rid of some, if you know what I mean, you don’t have to walk far. The retractable roof is the highlight of the stadium. Players and fans love it. If the weather is cooperating, the roof is open and you’re playing «outside». If there’s bad weather in the area, the roof is closed and the game goes on anyway. This allows fans to plan around a game and know it’s going to happen.
I highly recommend taking a tour if you get the chance. You get to see a lot of parts of the park you would never be allowed near otherwise: Visitor’s dugout, the field (warning track only), Uecker’s booth, a suite, etc. It’s an excellent tour.
When the Brewers are playing well, the stadium is electric. The fans are great (win or lose), but it’s always better when they’re winning, of course.

This place is a cathedral. Seriously, I’m used to Wrigley which feels like a small shoe box compared to Miller Field. Yeah. Wrigley has the history etc. but I’m a fan of modernism too.ie.good beer choices, good food choices and opportunities for fans to interact. My son really enjoyed the ‘timed run to first base’, ‘timed pitch’ and a few other interactive things he was able to do.
We sat high as I didn’t have a horse in this race (saw Brewers play Cardinals and I’m a Cubs fan) but even up top I was comfortable and thought the view was great.
We parked a half dozen streets away and for FREE. Thats a foreign fricken concept in Chicago.
The roof was open on a beautiful summer night for us which was a plus sitting up top.
Cheers.

Yes I do miss the bleachers of old county stadium, and the days of Yount and Molitor, but that’s were my nostalgia ends.
Miller Park is a great place to see a game and it’s the sole reason we still have a team in Wisconsin, and thank God for the roof!
I have been to a handful of other ballparks and we should be proud of this facility! Ranks up there with the best.
Now bring on some winning teams!

I’ve come here twice now, and even though I’m not a Brewers fan, I’m a fan of the stadium and experience.
The stadium is nice and clean. I think it’s awesome that the roof is adjustable. It was adjusted perfectly to keep us in the shade during a hot and sunny game. Prices are pretty standard for ballparks, although I do believe they were somewhat cheaper than Chicago fields (I paid $ 7 for a pretty good cheeseburger, and $ 9 for Summer Shandy). We paid extra for preferred parking, which seemed to be more of an ordeal than if we had just paid for general admission, so I might rethink that option before next time.
Even from a 400 level seat, our view was pretty good. All staff I dealt with were nice as well.
We had a fun experience! I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

I was a bit disappointed in Miller Park after all of the hype. That said, I have yet to go to a game when the roof is open, and I like being outside. It’s my favorite experience of a baseball game. The last time I went it was about 60 degrees and misty out. All I am going to say is the Yankees play in that weather all the time sans roof. I’d really like to know the criteria to have an open roof in Milwaukee.
The stadium is cool to catch a game, there are no bad sight lines. I’ve primarily sat in right field because it affords you the opportunity to interact with the players. They do toss balls and wave. It makes for a good fan experience.
But where I dock stars is food choices/​beer choices. I realize it is called miller park, and is sponsored by the brewer, but the craft brew selection is poor. The food selections are primarily BRAUT or other midwestern faves of which I am personally not a huge fan. I would like to see other options for those of us who don’t love meat.
The line at Friday’s for beverages is out of control even when the stadium is t crowded. Are you there to drink or watch a game? Makes it kind of difficult to do both.
I did like that everyone tailgating was friendly, even in my arod shirt. Inside the stadium is another story.
I would go back but now I know to bring food and manage my expectations.

I’ve been to Wrigley countless of times, but this week was the first time I trekked up North to visit «Wrigley North» — TWICE! I went one time this week for a Dodgers game and once for a Cubs game. The park is clean, easy to walk through, and more family friendly than Wrigley. The Brewers’ crew does a good job of getting kids involved in the game by letting kids announce the players coming up to bat, and by having a bunch of between inning spectacles, such as the Sausage Race. Additionally, while there are lots of alcoholic drinks to try out at the park, the park does not smell like it was drenched in beer the way Wrigley does.
Miller Park has a lot of bells and whistles that might be too much for an avid baseball fan as they can easily distract from the game. However, while all the excess stuff might not be enjoyable, it does ensure that Miller Park has something that everyone, even the non-​baseball fans, can enjoy.

I have been to a handful of MLB stadiums and Miller Park is definitely near the top of the list. I have only been twice, both when my favorite team (The Cincinnati Reds) were visiting. The first game was in late July and my girlfriend and I took advantage of the State Fair deal, where you get free state fair tickets when you purchase upper level Brewers tickets. And they were WAY upper level, but it was still a cool view looking out from behind home plate.
The second time was for an April weekday game. For a very reasonable price we got great seats along the first base line, in prime foul ball territory. In the first inning I had one hit right at me and I dropped it. I’m still upset at myself for that one. What I lacked in foul ball catching, I made up for in ballpark food eating. When I heard about the Down Wisconsin Avenue Brat and its 18″ of goodness, I just had to have it. So, $ 20 later, I did. And it was delicious.
Although I am not a Brewers fan, I am definitely a Miller Park fan.
