Packing for the Brewers Game: A Guide for the Disorganized Fan (That's Most of Us)
Let's face it, packing for American Family Field can be a mystery wrapped in an enigma, seasoned with a dash of "oh crap, I forgot sunscreen again!" Fear not, fellow Brewers fan, for I am here to shed light on this critical pre-game ritual.
The Bag situation: A Balancing Act of Snacks and Security
First things first, the bag. American Family Field has a strict, one-bag policy, so choose wisely, my friend. Here's your cheat sheet:
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- Tiny Clutch Fan? A single-compartment bag no bigger than your grandma's bingo purse (think 9" x 5" x 2") is your best bet.
- Clear Conscience (and Bag)? If you like to see your stuff (or maybe you're packing for someone who pinches snacks), a see-through bag no larger than 12" x 12" x 6" is the way to go.
- Diaper Duty or Medical Marvel? Fear not, parents and those with special needs! Diaper bags (up to 16" x 16" x 8") and medical/family needs bags are welcome. Just be prepared for additional screening.
Forget the Fancy Feast: Packing Food Fit for a Ballpark
Let's be honest, ballpark food is delicious, but it can also cost a minor fortune. Thankfully, you can bring your own nosh! Just remember:
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
- Think small: Pack finger foods or personal-sized portions. Think sandwiches, fruit, or those addictive mini-bags of pretzels.
- Ditch the Glass and Cans: Security will give them the side-eye. Pack your snacks in plastic containers or bags.
- Hydration Hero: One sealed, non-alcoholic beverage (32 oz. or less) is your hydration lifeline.

Packing for a Brewers game isn't just about sustenance, it's about creating memories! Here are some extras to consider:
- Sunscreen: Because nobody wants a sunburn to overshadow that home run.
- Sunglasses: To channel your inner superstar (or block out the glare those sky-high fly balls create).
- Layers: Wisconsin weather can be fickle. Pack a light jacket or sweatshirt in case the summer sun decides to play hide-and-seek.
- Team Spirit: Rock your Brewers gear with pride! (Bonus points for creative face paint!)
- Noisemaker (optional, but highly encouraged): Brewers fans are known for their enthusiasm. Pack a noisemaker (within stadium guidelines, of course) and let your voice be heard!
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
