American Family Field
Milwaukee, WI · Stadium
American Family Field runs a single-compartment bag policy, so multi-compartment bags do not get in. A small non-clear bag up to 9 by 5 by 2 inches is fine, and anything bigger has to be a clear single-compartment bag no larger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches, or a one-gallon clear resealable bag. Multi-compartment bags, including traditional backpacks, are turned away. Diaper bags up to 16 by 16 by 8 inches and ADA or medically necessary bags are the exceptions, checked at the gate. The Brewers run Express Lanes for fans with no bag or a bag 9 by 5 by 2 inches or smaller, so the smaller you pack, the faster you enter. The retractable-roof Milwaukee ballpark applies this to Brewers games and to its concerts, though a tour can tighten it, so check your event page. A tiny non-clear bag or a clear 12 by 12 by 6 bag is the way in.

No bag that fits? Plan ahead

Getting there
Gates open
Concert gate times vary by show and are on your event page. Every bag is inspected, so arrive early or use the Express Lanes with a small bag.
Parking
The stadium's own lots surround the park off Miller Park Way, and tailgating is part of the culture, so lots open early on event days.
Public transit
The MCTS Brewers Line bus runs from downtown Milwaukee to the park on event days, though most guests drive in.
Rideshare
Use the designated rideshare zone in the stadium lots and expect a wait after big shows as the lots clear.
