American Family Fields Guide — Brewers Spring Training

American Family Fields of Phoenix: The Brewers' Spring Home

Tucked into the Maryvale neighborhood of west Phoenix, American Family Fields of Phoenix is the Cactus League spring training home of the Milwaukee Brewers. It's one of the few west-side ballparks in the league, which makes it a convenient stop if you're staying in or near Phoenix rather than the East Valley or Scottsdale. Spring training games typically run mid-February through late March (in 2026, the season ran roughly February 20 to March 24), so plan a late-winter trip and always confirm the schedule on the official Brewers site before booking.

Getting There

American Family Fields sits in Maryvale on the west side of Phoenix, easily reached from Interstate 10 and the Loop 101. Like all ten Cactus League ballparks, it's within about an hour of every other spring training venue, so it's realistic to catch a Brewers game one day and a Cubs game in Mesa or a Giants game in Scottsdale the next. If you're flying in, Phoenix Sky Harbor is a quick drive east, and a rental car is the most practical way to bounce between parks. Rideshare works well too, especially if you plan to grab a beer or two during the game.

Parking

Parking is one of the perks of the Maryvale location. Compared to the busier, higher-demand parks, American Family Fields tends to be more manageable on game day, with on-site lots adjacent to the ballpark. Arrive early for marquee matchups, give yourself extra cushion for first-pitch traffic on weekends, and check the official Brewers spring training page for current parking details and any cashless-payment requirements before you go.

Tickets and Seating

Brewers spring games use dynamic pricing, just like the rest of the Cactus League, meaning ticket prices shift based on demand, opponent, and date. A few tips that apply across all ten ballparks:

• Lawn and berm seats are the cheapest option — bring a blanket, spread out, and enjoy a relaxed Arizona afternoon for far less than a fixed seat.
• Buy early for popular opponents. When the Brewers host crowd-pullers like the Cubs or Dodgers, prices climb fast and seats sell out, so lock those in well ahead of time.
• Weekday day games are typically the best value and the lightest crowds if you have flexibility.

Making a Day (or Week) of It

Because American Family Fields is on the west side, it pairs naturally with a Phoenix-based trip. After the game, explore food and drink options around Phoenix and the wider Phoenix region. If you want to turn one game into a full Cactus League road trip, the central and east-side parks are all an easy drive: Cubs at Sloan Park and Athletics at Hohokam in Mesa, Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, and Giants at Scottsdale Stadium within walking distance of Old Town in the Scottsdale area. Diamondbacks and Rockies fans can also catch a game at Salt River Fields — see our Diamondbacks page for more.

Quick Tips

• Spring training runs typically mid-February through late March — confirm dates on the official Brewers site.
• Bring sunscreen and a hat; February and March afternoons in the Valley can get warm and sunny.
• Check our events calendar to round out your trip with everything else happening in metro Phoenix.

Whether you're a die-hard Brew Crew fan making the pilgrimage or a Valley local looking for an affordable afternoon of baseball, American Family Fields of Phoenix delivers an easygoing, west-side Cactus League experience.
