What we know about American Family Fields of Phoenix

Around the stadium

From a specialist guide
The ballpark sits in the Maryvale neighborhood of west Phoenix with few hotels or bars nearby. Most fans stay in downtown Phoenix, about 15 minutes east, where the Brewers recommend the Hyatt Place on W. Adams Street.

Getting in from the airport

From a specialist guide
PHX (Phoenix Sky Harbor) is about 14 miles away, roughly 22 minutes by car with no traffic, mostly on I-10 west.

Getting to the stadium

Checked at the source
Drive from downtown Phoenix, about 15 min. Take I-10 west, exit 51st Avenue north, and enter the lot at 51st Ave and Whitton Ave, between Thomas and Indian School roads. Drive from Glendale, about 16 min. Take Loop 101 south, exit Indian School Road east, then go south on 51st Avenue to the lot at Whitton Ave. Rideshare, about 15 min. The marked zone along 53rd Avenue and Indian School Road, outside the parking lot. Fetii group van, about 15 min. Same 53rd Avenue zone. Fetii runs 14-seat vans that groups can book on demand or ahead.

Tailgating

Checked at the source
Tailgating is limited to your own parking space, and you cannot buy extra spaces to tailgate. Groups can reserve the grass area in the northwest corner of the main lot for a pregame tent with the Brewers.

Getting in

Checked at the source
  • Bag policy: One clear single-pocket bag up to 12 x 12 x 6 inches, or a non-clear bag up to 9 x 5 x 2 inches. Diaper bags up to 16 x 16 x 8 inches and medical items are allowed. The Brewers do not hold items that are turned away.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
All cars leave onto 51st Avenue, and the lot is a long walk from the gates; a free courtesy shuttle helps guests who need it. Many fans skip parking and use rideshare from the zone on 53rd Avenue. To beat the crowd, catch the postgame autographs at the right-field fence and leave 30 minutes later.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Showing up at gate time and missing batting practice. The Brewers hit on practice fields 2 and 3 before the gates open, through a separate gate on 51st Avenue.
