Brewers Open Roof at American Family Field for NLDS Game 2
The retractable roof at American Family Field was open for the afternoon NLDS Game 2, shifting hitter concerns from roof interference to shadow and glare.
The roof at American Family Field was open for Game 2 of the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres. The 3:09 PM local start time created significant shadow conditions across the infield, presenting visibility challenges for hitters. This is notable context given Game 1 featured a controversial play involving a batted ball hitting the closed roof structure.
