It's Brewers Opening Day, and that means tailgating season is here in Milwaukee.

And here's some news that makes it even more exciting ― Last month, RV Trader published its rankings of the six best MLB ballparks for RV tailgating, and American Family Field topped the list. Given the forecast for today's opener, an RV would definitely be the way to go.

"Synonymous with beer and sausage, you know American Family Field can't go wrong, offering the quintessential MLB tailgating experience for any camper lucky enough to pull in," RV Trader wrote. "With ample parking and minimal restrictions, fans can indulge in the ultimate pregame festivities, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and nearby attractions."

American Family Field boasts over 400 marked spaces for buses and RVs, with the ability to add or adjust as needed. RVs and buses are directed to park in the American Family Lot. Fans can't reserve specific spots ahead of time, but they're encouraged to purchase parking in advance to save money. Parking can be purchased in advance here.

Parking lots open for tailgating three hours before most games and at 4:10 p.m. before 6:40 p.m. games, according to the Brewers website. Tailgating rules are the same for RVs as they are for all other fans. Click here for more information and tailgating rules on the Brewers website.
