Let’s Road Trip: Brewers 2025 Travel Preview

The 2025 season brings new elements to Major League Baseball fan travel. The Athletics now play their “home” games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, CA, and its 14,000 seats. The Rays will still play in Tampa but at George M. Steinbrenner Field, which has 11,000 seats. The Brewers will have to wait until 2026 to make the trip to Sacramento. Still, they head to Tampa in mid-May, which provides fans an opportunity for some of the most intimate baseball experiences in the history of MLB. Granted, both journeys are to cities that leave a little to be desired from a tourist perspective, but the chance to catch baseball’s best in minor-league confines more than makes up for it.

The balanced schedule that debuted in 2023 is still in effect, which means the Brewers will play all 29 other teams during the regular season. Outside of the NL Central series (two home, two away) that occur every season, Brewers fans can travel to any MLB ballpark to catch their favorite nine every two years. This year, intrepid roadies can kick off the season with the Brewers at Yankee Stadium. In April, you can escape to the Rockies and the desert and hit South Beach to celebrate Independence Day. Brewer fans can pack a passport for late August in Toronto or catch some college football and the Rangers in early September.

Besides the excitement and adventure that comes with traveling, joining the team on the road brings some unique perks. When the gates open at game time, it’s your team taking batting practice, and you can get as close as possible when the team is looking for a friendly face. After each inning in the field, you are part of the few and proud in the stands that your team wants to throw the ball to as they head to the dugout. From restaurant and hotel encounters to pre- and post-game interactions, your odds of getting close to the team you love grow exponentially on the road.

In the next several weeks, we will go into detail trip by trip for the Brewers road journeys, complete with must-do activities and travel tips. Today, we take a more 10,000-foot view so that you can begin to daydream about where the 2025 Brewers season might take you. I’ve included the “Total Miles from American Family Field and Back Again” that the road trip encompasses for a frame of reference.
