Wisconsin, United States — Attractions

Miller Park

Miller Park

Miller Park is the home of major league baseball's Milwaukee Brewers. Opened in 2001, the ballpark combines state-of-the-art features, including a unique fan-shaped convertible roof, with the 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' nostalgia of America's pastime. Ballpark tours are available, but if visitors are able to get tickets, there is perhaps no better way to experience the best of America than by watching a ballgame on a summer evening.

Lambeau Field

Lambeau Field

Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, is a landmark among America's football stadiums. When it underwent extensive renovations a few years ago, fans pleaded for the preservation of its trademark features. Today, its retro style and original seating bowl are balanced by modern facilities and services. If visitors can get tickets, and stand the cold, watching the Packers play at home is an amazing experience. If not, a tour of the stadium, where some of the greatest legends in football have played, is the next best thing.
