What’s New at American Family Field
New complimentary public plaza with entertainment and family activities.
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers today announced exciting enhancements coming to American Family Field for the 2026 season, headlined by a complete reimagining of two spaces at the ballpark: The Glove Playground, presented by Aurora Health Care® and the UW Credit Union Plaza.
Enjoyed by generations of fans, the right-field playground has long served as a favorite destination for families and young Brewers supporters. With its 2026 renovation, the space has been transformed to ensure that fans of all ages will enjoy it for years to come. As part of a recently expanded long‑term partnership between the Brewers and Aurora Health Care® the refreshed area now proudly carries the name The Glove Playground, presented by Aurora Health Care®.
The 2026 renovation introduces refreshed versions of classic interactive games such as Bring the Heat, Batter Up! and Strike Zone alongside new activities including Race to First, a Skee‑Ball–style Sausage Race and Rob a Home Run, all designed to support both independent and intergenerational play. Bernie’s Jr. Slide has been reconfigured for younger fans, and the entire playground now features improved accessibility, new seating near kid‑friendly concessions and several Instagrammable moments including the Famous Racing Sausages figurines, a Brewers dugout backdrop and the signature oversized glove. Additionally, families who need a break from the action can utilize the new Field Level sensory room, in partnership with KultureCity, located near the Potawatomi Gate inside the ballpark.
Plans are underway for the new public UW Credit Union Plaza located just beyond the outfield, adjacent to the pedestrian bridge spanning Wisconsin Highway 175/Brewers Boulevard and connecting to the parking lots. Designed as a free, open-access space for fans, the plaza will feature a beer garden, a performance stage for live entertainment, a mini golf course and a play area for families. The new gathering spot will serve as a dynamic hub for social connection, extending the ballpark experience beyond the game. Fans will be able to enjoy this new gathering space beginning in June 2026.
The American Family Field food and beverage offerings have received high marks from fans, and 2026 will feature exciting additions to the line up. The Brewers will debut new local food vendors (to be announced at a later date) at both the “The Alley” Food Truck Park, located on the left field Loge Level, and 3rd St. Market Hall Annex, located on the right field Loge Level. In addition to the local food offerings, fans can enjoy their favorite sweet treats at the ballpark including novelty candy, Dubai chocolate, hand dipped ice cream, shakes and malts at the sweets stand in the 3rd St. Market Hall Annex. The Brewers look forward to continuing support for local businesses with their presence and inclusion at American Family Field.
Expanding for the 2026 season, fans will be able to utilize MLB Go-Ahead Entry at additional gates at American Family Field including Home Plate West and East, Third Base and UW Credit Union Plaza gates. MLB Go-Ahead Entry is a facial authentication-based ticket validation system developed by Major League Baseball as part of a continual effort to improve the fan experience of attending games. Fans can register using the MLB Ballpark app and enjoy the ultimate hands-free, free-flow experience entering the ballpark. For more information on MLB Go-Ahead Entry, visit brewers.com/GoAheadEntry. Further, Express Lanes will be offered at all gates to allow guests who do not have a bag, or whose bag is 9” x 5” x 2” or smaller, to enter more quickly.
Mark your calendars to lock in tickets for the 2026 season. Single-game tickets go on sale in February 12 at brewers.com/Tickets, 1-800-933-7890, as well as at the American Family Field Ticket Office.
