Seating guide
- Best views
- Many fans consider the infield seats on the Loge Level (200s), one tier above the field, the best value for sightlines. Down at field level, the outfield seats are angled to face second base.
- Shade & cover
- Thanks to a retractable roof that closes for rain, cold or heat, nearly every game is effectively under cover. Even when it's open, the Club Level concourse stays climate-controlled.
- Cheapest seats
- For the lowest prices overall, look to the outfield bleachers and the upper Terrace Level. Within the Field and Loge tiers, the seats out by the foul-pole corners cost the least.
- Families
- For families: Sunday Kids Run the Bases, Helfaer Field right next door, The Glove playground by the right-field corner, and a Kids Zone for children under 42 inches in the left-field corner of the Terrace Level.
- Standing room
- Behind Section 103 you'll find the Drink Wisconsinbly Corner Bar, the Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard brewery sits in the left-field corner, and Miller Lite Landing is on the Loge Level in left-center.
Tailgating & parking
- Tailgating
- AllowedFans have long tailgated in the team lots around the park, but the party has to wrap up 30 minutes after first pitch. Group Sales takes bookings for pavilions, the Tailgate Haus and tailgate grids in the Uecker and Yount lots.
- Parking
- The Preferred and General team lots ring the ballpark and open between 2.5 and 3 hours ahead of first pitch. You can prepay online or scan a QR code to pay when you arrive; there are no cashiers, as license-plate recognition handles entry.
- Transit
- Two MCTS lines get you within walking distance: CONNECT BRT, which stops at 44th St. and Wisconsin Ave., and Route 18, which stops at 43rd St. and National Ave.
