Opening Day at American Family Field brings large crowds, making transportation and parking plans essential for fans heading to the ballpark. Having a plan ahead of time can save both time and money.
American Family Field offers advanced parking that is cheaper than purchasing it on the same day.
With ongoing construction on Interstate 94, fans driving to the game should plan their routes ahead of time.
Luis Vasquez is hosting a tailgate for family and friends on Opening Day, where he expects hundreds of people to attend.
He says the event builds community and hopes more people come out this year and next year.
"We’ll all be just caravanning to AmFam stadium and tailgating for opening day," Vasquez said.
"We’re going to go out there and have a whole bunch of fun, supporting our team," Vasquez said.
For those looking for non-driving options, bar shuttles are a way to save money and time. Kelly's Bleachers is one of many local shuttles taking people to and from the ballpark, dropping fans off just steps from the gate.
"We’re the original shuttle bar to take people down in the 80s," Anthony Luchini said.
"No ticket, no signup, they run nonstop," Luchini said.
Rideshare is another option, with a designated drop-off location near the ballpark. No matter the method of transportation, having a plan ensures fans only have to think about the first pitch.
"We’re going to go out, have a good time and hopefully stay warm for a day at the ballpark," Vasquez said.
