With Feigin, the booing started (it was very light) when he started thanking his cousins. I get it

They all said the same thing.

Those lofts are **** stupid. Will have updates and pictures soon.

Okay, here we go

Panorama Club. This is not my cup of tea at all but I understand its appeal to others. Although you have to be right up against the rail to see anything event related.

This picture turned out like **** because I quick snapped it before I walked out but this is the Club Lounge I think it's called on the other end of the arena from the lofts and this place is amazing. It can hold up to 180 people or you can partition it to 6 separate areas with room for 30. Highlight of the arena for me. Amazingly comfortable chairs, intimate setting. Really well done.

Nice piece of art on the suite level that again didn't turn out very well because everybody wanted to stand in front of the thing and take a picture with it so I had to hurry up before more people came and got in my way.

The way they set up the suite level today was a complete disaster. The only way you could get up there was to wait in line for the elevator or take the exit stairs to the level but if you did that you had to wait for someone already in the suite level to leave because they had the doors locked. The two escalators that lead to the suite level were both going down.

The cool deer that Mickey said was stupid.

Random shots from the upper level.

This is the view you get from a lot of the upper level. The concourse may be open but you aren't going to see the court.

Front row, center court of the upper level.

The glass here must be the absolute minimum standard because it can't be more than 15 inches high. Someone said earlier the 200 level seats were steep and they were 100% right. If they're not as steep as the Bradley Center they're pretty damn close. The only difference is there aren't 20+ rows of seats like the Bradley Center which probably made them seem steeper than they actually were. Stairs are super narrow too.

Also have to say the 200 level isn't inviting at all. It's sort of dark in places, the floors are black and it's kind of closed off with the seats going above the concourse. Apparently they are also selling season tickets for the drink rails so I don't even know if anyone is going to even be able to use them.

Now on to the lofts. First, they're only like sort of private. The wall to get into them only goes halfway up and there are breaks in the wall where you can see out. The chairs in the actual lofts are super uncomfortable and the same loft is actually divided by glass for some reason.

There is definitely more leg room and the seats are noticeably wider than the Bradley Center though. The guy earlier who was talking about the shallow cup holders, I see what he's talking about. The seats that can be taken out to set up for other events have cup holders on the arms of the chair and they're only about 2 inches deep tops. A slight nudge is going to tip the drink over.

How is the store. Did they have more jerseys then Giannis? Wish they would be like the packers and have retired players available.

Pro shop is very nice. Not a lot of jerseys though. But so much better than the BC's "shop".

We're not going down that road again. MD

The Panorama club is ok. Anyone can go up there and hang out before/during an event, you don't need a ticket. But I'm not sure why you would. The view from up there isn't great.

I know some people are bitching about the upper level but it's the upper level. And it's a lot, A LOT, better than the BC's upper. Less seats of course but also a bit more leg room.

In some ways this was like a Bar Rescue stress test. Everyone goes in at the same time. But I thought the Bucks handled it about as well as they could. There will always be doufus's who just stand in the way of everyone, totally oblivious. Food options are a lot better than the BC. Expensive though (of course).

Maybe I just didn't know what to look at with digital ticketing, but I didn't see anything like light up green when I put my phone up to the scanner. So it's like we just waited for the attendant to give us the go ahead. Again, first event I'd imagine and it was hectic kinda.

Minor item that was a pleasant surprise for me personally was the change to Coca-Cola.

I also read today about them selling season tickets for the drink rails. Kind of interesting. I could see those selling well.

I agree with the Panaroma Club thoughts. Get the appeal to some, but to me the sight lines are worse and if I want to just hang out I would rather go somewhere it is not $10/beer. I guess the sky deck offers a great view of the city but will be interesting how utilized that will be November through March.

Suite and Mezzanine Level were areas I didn't get to yesterday. I also didn't go in either of the Membership (main level) or Tower Lounge (upper level) as well. Any opinions of either?

I didn't get a chance to see Johnson Controls entrance but think I will stop park at 6th/State lot and most likely will use that entrance. Hoping that lot will drop price a bit being slightly farther away.

I don't bank with BMO so I didn't get in there. The Tower Lounge was okay.

There's a red light right in front of where you scan your phone. When it reads the bar code the red light turns to green.

The ticket area was packed with people snapping up those cheap concert tix. I was curious about it but didn't want to deal with it
