Brewers/Baseball

- Tailgating is half the fun, right? No matter the weather outside Miller Park, you’re sure to find thousands of passionate Wisconsinites ready to cheer on their team. So, next time you head to Milwaukee, be sure to load up your beanbags and cornhole boards, pack your mini grill and brats, and make friends with the surrounding tailgate crews.
- Miller Park is known to have some of the best food in professional baseball. Dig in to concession stands featuring food from Milwaukee businesses like AJ Bombers (burgers), Smoke Shack (barbeque), Zaffiro's (pizza) and a new line of J. Agave's tacos throughout Miller Park.
- There’s no shortage of sports history or entertainment at Miller Park. Baseball buffs can visit the Miller Park Walk of Fame in the plaza area outside the ballpark, get a glimpse of statues depicting Hall of Famers and and visitors can even tour this mammoth complex any day of the week besides game day.
