About Miller Park

Miller Park primarily refers to the former name of **American Family Field**, a major baseball stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home to the Milwaukee Brewers. It was known as Miller Park from its opening in 2001 until 2020, named through a $40 million naming rights deal with the Miller Brewing Company[3]. The stadium is a state-of-the-art venue featuring a convertible roof and 70 luxury suites, capable of hosting around 43,000 fans, making it one of Major League Baseball’s premier stadiums[1]. The project was one of Wisconsin's largest construction efforts, costing over $400 million, with about $310 million public funding primarily from a regional 10-cent sales tax, and $90 million from private sources including the Brewers' ownership[1][3]. Construction faced significant challenges, including a fatal crane accident in 1999 that delayed the opening by a year[3]. The stadium also hosts “The Selig Experience,” an exhibit honoring former Brewers owner and MLB commissioner Bud Selig, reflecting his critical role in the team and stadium’s history[3]. The naming rights deal with Miller Brewing Company ended in 2020, after which American Family Insurance acquired the naming rights in a 15-year agreement, hence the stadium’s current name, American Family Field[3]. The stadium stands as a symbol of complex public-private partnerships in sports infrastructure, sparking local political controversy during its funding debates[4]. Aside from the baseball stadium context, “Miller Park” can also refer to other entities, such as the **Miller Park Zoological Society** in Bloomington, Illinois, a nonprofit supporting the Miller Park Zoo through fundraising and education programs[7], and **Joaquin Miller Park** in Oakland, California, a large natural park named after the poet Joaquin Miller, featuring extensive trails and environmental restoration efforts by community groups[2][6]. However, these are distinct from the Milwaukee Brewers’ stadium context most associated with the name Miller Park in
