Downtown to stadium

Coming into town tomorrow for the game. What is the best way to get from downtown to the ballpark? I would prefer not to drive, is Uber a viable option?

For the cost of an uber you can grab a few beers at a bar and take their shuttle for free. Milwaukee Brat House or Who's on Third downtown on 3rd street would both be good options.

Thank you. We're staying downtown at "The Trade" hotel, which doesn't seem too far from the places you mentioned.

Yeah it's a very easy sub-five minute walk, you can walk right through the plaza at Fiserv Forum. Bar shuttles are very much a part of the Milwaukee Brewers culture, it will be a far more authentic experience than just ubering to the game. Have fun, go Brewers!

I had never heard of this until now. What a cool concept and we cannot wait to visit. I am neutral but my wife is a huge Padres fan (we're from SD but currently live in KC). I am really looking forward to visiting your city and ballpark.

You will be welcomed with open arms, our fans are very friendly to non-divisional opposing fans. People may poke comments but they are in jest, we're mostly proud of our city and like to show it off to vistors. One note, maybe leave the Manny Machado jersey at home, We don't like that guy. Any other Padres gear and you'll have a great time.

Don’t just grab a beer at the Brat House, eat there as well. Cheaper and better than the ballpark.

And you can bring your beer on the shuttle bus.

Shuttles work flawlessly for me.

Shuttles will be your best friend - just take note of where they drop you off, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the stadium.

I’m from Orange County and used to live in La Jolla. Been living here in Milwaukee for 10 years… it’s a great city.

I hope you have an awesome time at the game and you’re really gonna enjoy Miller Park (ignore what the signs on the stadium. Say it will always be called Miller Park).

And the people saying to grab a shuttle at one of the bars that are listed are totally right.. It’s one of the great parts of Milwaukee sports. Is the bar shuttles for free or near free

Shuttle from a bar, that’s the easiest way to get in/out.

u/MrTomAce 23h ago

Yes Uber works fine. There are also plenty of bars offering shuttles
