Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi... (seriously, could use an assist on this)

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, so I *finally* got around to the AmFam guide but there are some gaps in my knowledge... after all, I haven't lived in Milwaukee in a dozen years. My knowledge, especially of things like shuttle services, are wildly out of date.

If you could give this a read-through (it's long, I know) and give feedback on errors, additions, whatever... please do so.

I particularly need people with experience using the shuttles to give feedback on the individual restaurants (or if I missed some).

Thanks in advance!

Looks good. I'd add Club level info to the "Best seats" section. The seats themselves on the Club/300 level are a little wider and padded and generally more comfortable than the other levels which offers a bit of a reprieve if you and your friends are on the bigger side. Plus you can hang out at the Skyy Lounge if it's too hot/boring/whatever and there's elevated food options too. And you can snag decent seats on the secondary market for weekday games in the 35ish dollar range.

Where do you live now?  I haven't been to a game in Milwaukee in several years since we moved out of state.

100% agree. You nailed each of my talking points. Plus I enjoy that the sections are small; just 7 rows deep with good leg room.

Welp, I've been on vacation the last two weeks, including vacation from this site (and from my Twitter DMs - sorry Brock).  I'm happy to chime in with suggestions, though. 

For the Terrace Box section...

Quote

Terrace Box
Sections 417-427

These seats are found at the bottom of the third deck. If you stay centered around home plate (the sections listed above) and get into the first few rows, these seats are a nice value proposition.

Technically I guess TB is the bottom of the third deck, but "third" at AFF always makes me think club.  Maybe describe it as the bottom/front of the fourth level.  Also - for fans who might be concerned about the terrace being problematically rowdy, TB is not that way.  Each box section is only 6-7 rows and ushers are generally close and approachable.  If you're bringing the family but mom or dad wants to enjoy an adult beverage, the non-family-section TB sections will still serve you well. 

If your party includes short people, know that the front railing in row 1 and sometimes 2 of the terrace will obstruct their view.  (That actually might apply to the loge and club sections too; I haven't sat in the front row of either.) 

 

For Loge Infield Platinum:

Quote

Loge Infield Platinum
Sections 216-221

These are the priciest of the mid-range options and are located on the middle deck of American Family Field, right behind home plate. 

This area is rich in foul ball opportunities and is in front of the press box and broadcast booths.  If you want to be the first to hear today's attendance, or the official announcement of why a player left the game this area is for you.  It's not the greatest form to turn around and whoop at Bob Uecker until he looks up and maybe waves, but that doesn't stop some fans from trying.

Designated Driver info:

Quote

Not A Drinker? If you walk behind home plate on field level, you can request a voucher for a Designated Driver complimentary soda. 

You can also get a soda voucher at the guest relations stations on the loge and terrace levels.  You do have to present proof that you parked on-site (either a paper receipt or the parking pass from your Ballpark app).  The voucher is available until one hour after first pitch.

Additional Fan Favorite:

I'd add the Bob Uecker statue in the top row of section 422.  It has an empty seat next to it so you can pose with Ueck for a photo.  https://www.mlb.com/news/bob-uecker-statue-gets-spot-in-last-row-at-miller-park/c-73326830

 

And, as has already been mentioned, include the Club Level in the Best Seats section.  Even if you're not club suite eligible, the climate control in the concourse (either heat or AC, depending on the season) can be a lifesaver.  The club also boasts food selections not available elsewhere in the park.  My favorite is the custom nacho bar. 

If I think of anything else, I'll add it here, unless you'd rather I contact you directly, Brock.

No worries, thank you so much for the input, I will add some of these details this week!

No, definitely post it publicly, this is all a group effort and if people want to back-and-forth on stuff, great!

Shuttles that I've ridden so far, 

Stenys (800 S 2nd St, Milwaukee) - Just need to buy food or beverages. Then get your arm stamped. First shuttle leaves an hour before the game, then like every 20 to 30 minutes. Then return shuttles begin the top of the 8th and 15 minutes after game until they get everyone they stamped.  

Kelly's (5218 W Bluemound Rd, Milwaukee) - Same as above. Minus the arm stamp. They did/do offer parking for $20 in their lot, but you did get a $20 voucher to the establishment if you did so. Not sure if they still give the voucher. Don't remember the frequency of their shuttle, though they do run many trips

Who's on Third (1007 N Doctor M.L.K. Jr Dr, Milwaukee) Same, buy a beverage and ask for a wristband for the brewers shuttle. Don't remember the frequency of their shuttles to/from the stadium

All were good experiences (coming from a upper 20s guy)

AWESOME. Thank you so much!
