American Family Field (still known as Miller Park to many Brewers fans) is a retractable roof stadium with one of the more original looks in all of MLB. An overhead view of the field may suggest its shape took a back seat to the rest of the stadium's architecture as the outfield fence follows a seemingly random path from corner to corner.
While the dimensions may hint at a hitters venue, the results tell a different story. Ballpark Pal ranks American Family Field 29th in MLB for runs, 30th for singles, and 28th for doubles and triples. The park does rank 10th for home runs, but that power does not translate into sustained offense.
The defining trait is contact suppression. American Family Field ranks 2nd in MLB for strikeouts and grades Poor for contact rate. Fewer balls in play lead directly to fewer singles (30th), which in turn limits overall scoring (29th).
Wind averages 8.5 mph in Milwaukee and is forecast to blow in 46% of games compared to 26% blowing out. However, the venue ranks 27th overall in wind receptiveness, meaning forecast wind rarely produces meaningful carry changes on the field due to the tall stadium structure and retractable roof design.
Average start-time temperature is 76.4 degrees. The roof is open approximately 55% of the time, but overall the park ranks 25th in MLB for day-to-day variation, placing it in the lower tier for environmental volatility.
