media release: It’s no secret that Wisconsinites love to tailgate and grill out – even in the winter. Grab a coat, mittens and hat, and be amongst the first in line to secure single-game tickets for the Brewers 2022 season. This year’s Arctic Tailgate, returns on Saturday, Feb. 26 after a two-year hiatus, marking the first official Brewers tailgate of the year, as well as the first opportunity for fans to buy single-game tickets for the 2022 regular season.

The American Family Field Brewers 2 parking lot will open at noon on Friday, Feb. 25, with the Arctic Tailgate party starting at 6 p.m. inside the Restaurant To Be Named Later. Featuring live music with Phil Norby and appearances by Bernie Brewer™ and the Johnsonville Famous Racing Sausages^®, the Restaurant To Be Named Later at American Family Field will be the place to be for fans looking to celebrate the return of Brewers baseball.  

The Friday night party will also feature various competitions and chances for fans to win prizes, including a Brewers Quizmasters Trivia contest that will start at 8 p.m. and give fans the opportunity to take home autographed Brewers merchandise. Saturday morning festivities begin at 7 a.m. and will include live music by Wait for Morning and a live ice sculpture demonstration done by Art Below Zero. There will be plenty of great eats for fans on Saturday morning including free donuts supplied by Grebe’s Bakery, brats and breakfast pizza. The event will include live broadcasts from Newsradio 620 WTMJ and ESPN Milwaukee. Further, Saturday evening, Restaurant To Be Named Later will host a special beer pairing dinner with Atwater Brewery.
