How will I-94 closures impact travel to American Family Field?
Several lanes and ramps near American Family Field are closed as part of the Interstate-94 construction project.
The Milwaukee Brewers are urging fans to be patient as their new season begins amid several long-term closures on Interstate 94. There is major construction happening along a 3. 5-mile stretch between 70th Street and 16th Street, including a redesign of the Stadium Interchange.

In preparation, the Brewers, in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and city officials, launched new traffic tools for fans and are employing more staff for home games.
