You Don't Know Where the Brewers Play? You're Striking Out!
Let's face it, forgetting the name of a stadium is a forgivable offense... especially if you're too busy celebrating a Brewers walk-off homer (high fives all around!). But fear not, baseball fan, because we're here to school you (gently) on the official digs of Milwaukee's beloved Brewers.
The Current Champ: American Family Field
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
That's right, folks! Since 2001, the Brewers have called American Family Field home. This beauty boasts a retractable roof, ensuring near-perfect baseball weather (no more snow delays, we're looking at you, April). Plus, it's got all the bells and whistles a fan could ask for - think delicious ballpark eats, refreshing beverages, and enough energy to power a small city (courtesy of the Brewers faithful, of course).
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
A Blast from the Brewers Past: Miller Park
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Die-hard Brewers fans might remember the stadium rocking a different name for the first two decades of the 21st century. Yep, from 2001 to 2020, it was known as Miller Park. But hey, stadiums gotta change with the times, right?
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Fun Fact: American Family Field is home to North America's only fan-shaped retractable roof. That's right, it folds back like a giant slice of pizza (because, Wisconsin).
