Capacity For Brewers And Bucks Games To Increase To 50%

MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI—The Milwaukee Brewers announced Tuesday that seating capacity at American Family Field will increase from the current 25% to 50%, allowing more fans to experience live games in person all summer long, according to a news release.

The increase will be effective beginning with this Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves.

"Fans have returned with great enthusiasm to American Family Field this year, and today’s announcement allows us to meet the demand for tickets and elevate the entire ballpark experience," said Brewers President – Business Operations Rick Schlesinger in a statement. "We have demonstrated to date that we can host fans safely at American Family Field, and we appreciate the support of City of Milwaukee Commissioner of Health Kirsten Johnson in increasing the capacity."

Fans who hold full and partial season ticket packages will receive an email this week detailing their seating options moving forward.

Currently, single-game tickets are available for games scheduled through Thursday, May 27. This Friday, the Brewers will announce details about single-game ticket availability and the promotional schedule for games scheduled to be played from Monday, May 31 (Memorial Day) through Wednesday, June 16, the release said.

Later this month, the Brewers will release information on single-game tickets as well as the entire promotional schedule for games scheduled to be played from Friday, June 25 through the end of the season.

For the time being, the Brewers will be designating two Loge Level seating sections as social distancing locations where seating pods will remain separated by six feet, the release said.

The Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks will also increase fan capacity at Fiserv Forum to 50% for playoffs.

Milwaukee Health Department’s updated health and safety guidelines permit Bucks to expand capacity to approximately 9,000 fans at games, beginning for the NBA Playoffs, which start later this month, according to a news release.

To ensure that the health and safety of everyone attending games at Fiserv Forum remains prioritized, the following protocols will continue to include:

• Fans will be required to wear face coverings at all times when inside Fiserv Forum, except when actively eating or drinking
• Tickets will continue to be sold in pods
• Fans are not permitted to bring in bags. Items larger than 4”x6”x1” will not be permitted

The Bucks will announce updated protocols for attending games prior to the start of the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
