High-tech parking returns to American Family Field

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Brewers are back home to play the San Francisco Giants Tuesday, Aug. 27, and the team has reinstated the new parking technology that they tried at the beginning of the season. 

The new system uses QR codes and license plate recognition technology, hopefully to make parking at American Family Field more seamless. 

The system debuted on Opening Day, but after fans complained, the team went back to the old system. 

Now, after some further testing, the system returns. 

HOW IT WORKS

• Two options for parking at American Family Field: Pre-paid or day-of. Fans are strongly encouraged to pre-pay for parking to secure a parking spot at a lower cost than day-of parking rates.
• Pre-paid parking passes will be digitally delivered via the MLB Ballpark app where fans will go to activate their pre-paid parking by simply typing in their license plate.
• Day of game parking purchases can be made by scanning the unique QR code posted on signs in each lot, type in their license plate and then pay via Apple Pay, Google Pay or credit card. If a fan is unable to scan a QR code, parking ambassadors will be available onsite to assist or fans can visit a pay station at the ballpark.
• Fans will enter American Family Field parking lots as usual; all entries remain the same with one additional entrance for Season Seat Holders and Suiteholders who have Gold parking, accessed by entering from Brewers Blvd. Parking attendants will be onsite to direct people to specific lots. There will no longer be cashiers to take payment or scan a prepaid pass.
• Fans must purchase day of parking or activate their pre-paid parking session before entering the ballpark to avoid receiving a parking violation.
• Price rates for 2024 remain the same as last season.
• The new parking process does not impact tailgating in the parking lots. Visit brewers.com/Tailgating for information on tailgating at American Family Field.
