I'd love to head up to Milwaukee. It all depends on which nights of the week those games would fall.

Going to Milwaukee is fine to catch a playoff game as Bulls fan, but have some respect and show the world how classy we are as fans. There's nothing more annoying than seeing a large group of an opposing team making an @$$ out of themselves and embarrassing their fanbase.

Pretty sure Milwaukee already knows there's gonna be a lot of Bulls fans their due to population, no need to rub it in. This is why the world hates Yankee and Laker fans.
cheering on your team and trying to give the best possible road support is being an ass now? Lol okay then

Big difference supporting and cheering for the road team and doing that. Chanting in an opposing team's arena is unsportsmanlike IMO

Then make sure you never watch soccer

I was planning on going to Game 1 or 2 but could be enticed to going to game 3 or 4 on the road if it falls on one of my off-days from work.


Games 1 and 2 at the UC are gonna be Saturday and Monday. (The Blackhawks play Sun/Tue). So I assume game 3 will be Thu. And Game 4 probably Saturday or Sunday.


I can fly in Thursday night and fly out Monday, is it pretty safe to assume I can catch game 4 in that time frame & find tickets?

If I were you, I'd just wait until they announce the schedule before booking a flight. Probably late tonight.

I think we'll get billing over WAS/TOR, at least, right?

Nope, because we're playing Milwaukee.

Lol, lots of anger in this thread. Milwaukee fans do know they can travel to the UC as well? Probably won't be as successful in outdoing the Bulls fans, but hey.

Or better yet, they can attempt to show up to their own home games :D

Cheap tickets and transportation, oh I'll be there....hope to bring some friends too! Watching moments like this on tv during the regular season, I definitely have to be there in person to be a part of it :lol: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_VT1-FT9ww[/youtube]

Yeah, I don't get what there is to be so butt hurt about. The same thing happens whenever we play Indiana as well. Because of the close proximity of the cities, fans tend to travel. It's not our fault that Bulls fans are able/willing to travel better than most of the other fans in our division. You don't see us dominating Cleveland's arena. And it certainly doesn't happen in Detroit. You don't want Chi-town fans occupying your stadium, the fan the f up.

Have you ever been to a Bears-Packers game? Opposing fans chanting back and forth is part of what makes the experience so special.

I don't really see the point in getting mad at Bulls fans over this. The Bucks have been bad for a long time, so it will take a couple seasons for a good, young team not trading away their young players for expiring contracts to convince the general population that it isn't just a fluke so that they support the team properly. Probably drawing the one team that can bring opposing fans to our own arena in droves is hugely unfortunate and ventworthy, but hardly the fault of Bulls fans.

If I were a Bulls fan, though, I don't think I'd be totally psyched about this matchup beyond being able to get a couple extra tickets to the first round. All 50 states would expect the Bulls to win the series, but the Bucks winning would hardly be out of the question. That sounds like nothing to gain and everything to lose, to me. I mean, can you imagine what would happen to Chicago if the Bulls lost in the first round to the Bucks?

PS. Despite my dislike for the Bulls, I'm pulling for Rose to return to greatness. Never like to see a guy go through all that.

Don't Bulls fans know we in Wisconsin don't like Chicago. ...... Chicago people don't get it because they don't know how they act. It's that simple, we in Milwaukee joke about fibs all the time.


I'm not upset, I wish there were fans like you guys everywhere. I just feel bad for our young players, who their first home playoff game ever will be booed

Your generalization of Bulls fans and Chicago is really irritating. Not every Bulls fan acts like an idiot. The majority are hard working, good people. Same goes for the people of Chicago.

Also, stop speaking for all of Milwaukee like you're something special. You're being the bad apple that makes everyone around here think that people from Wisconsin are a bunch of weak whiny babies, which isn't true.

1. Your city is 5x the size of Milwaukee and chicago itself is half the size of Wisconsin, that has nothing to do with traveling better. That's just an unfair advantage.

2. This franchise has been a dumpster fire for a decade and a half, and needs more time with our new team to get fans involved. Again, nothing to do with better travel.

3. Ticket prices at the BC are a percentage of what you pay, but yeah...the reason you're coming is because you're good traveling fans, okay.

I don't really get what's the problem here if you cheer for your team on the road. It's the problem of the home team if they can't fill their own arena. Also what's the problem if you're loud and cheer for you team, even if you're playing away..totally normal in Europe. It's up to the home fans to be louder, fill the arena and give support to your home team..if you can't do that, you can't complain, especially here where it's close for the Bulls fans to come and support the team. Are you gonna ban the away fans?

With all the murdering going on in Milwaukee the past few weeks, Bulls fans should be on their best behavior before some crazy from Milwaukee loses it.

Can't say I blame Bulls fans for wanting to attend games an hour away at a fraction of the cost to watch their team at home. Not sure why my fellow native Milwaukeeans are whining about that.

This thread is comedy gold though.

I thought I was positive, sorry for offending you. I apologize for coming over here.. I should of known better. Good luck to your team this weekend.
