Fiserv Forum Thread - Full (Almost) Capacity Now

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

The in-game hosts need to stop with the shirt shaming. So I but a $150 jersey and then they try and force me to wear a **** XL shirt that’s rough as sandpaper with a BMO sponsor stamped on it. **** off.

The dude that got booed for not wearing it and then started flipping off the crowd was amazing lmao

Yea, I was glad he did that. Stop with the peer pressure, we don’t all have the wear the same shirts like it’s a cult. You don’t see the fans in MSG being shamed into all wearing the same shirt, it’s stupid.

IDK, it looks pretty damn cool when done right and who wouldn't want a playoff tee. That said, they need incentivize people to wear it and do distribution at the door or lobby with proper sizes. I'm 5'8" 150 pounds. I looked so stupid wearing the shirt.

Eric (PA announcer) just said again on the radio the Bucks will go full capacity on June 15. If we make round 2 (I'm certainly not taking anything for granted) we'd open on the road but I believe games 3 and 4 would be before 6/15 but it depends on how early our first round ends.

Wish there was more communication from the city on what it would take to reopen. "70% vaccinated and <200 new cases daily and we will remove all restrictions!" Feel there would be more social pressure from to get vaccinated if there were clear thresholds and we were close to getting there. Maybe its too simplistic, but feel we would be open by now if they was more of a vaccination push/better communication. Too many people in their 20's/30's were wait and see without a clear motivation to get the shot.

I agree with more clear direction. How hard would it be to put some goalposts up. But it looks like everything can open up as much as they want in WI starting next week. It will be up to businesses how much/how fast. I don't know if it's a city decision to wait until 6/15 or the Bucks. Could be, I think this has been mentioned here, getting enough staff in place. Businesses all over are having a hard time filling positions.

ETA, at Poto they still just have machines, no table games. They didn't even do limited table games like casinos all over the country. Now I'm sure they'd like to open those up again but no doubt many of the dealers have moved on and you have to go through a lot of training to do that job.

Tonights game is not sold out. Looking at TM at the regular, not resale, tickets I see tickets ranging from $70 for behind the basket uppers to $555 for midcourt lowers. Without fees. Even some lower corners are $555 (section 108, row 8). That's insane. 3 rows up (row 11) they are $271

Yeah, 108 and the other prime corner sections have a pretty drastic price hike at certain spots even for season tix. Row 13 is the last value play before you are spending some serious cash. They can keep all that, though. Unless youre courtside, i cant imagine the experience is
improved proportionally to the cost.

I'm with you on this. It looks great when done correctly and I've seen other teams pull it off. That said if not everyone is going to go along with it then they need to stop doing it because it looks awful when only half the crowd does it

None of the cults I've ever been in wore the same shirt, common misconception imho

If its a good cult, no one is wearing shirts

Ideal cult: 1 man, 30 chicks, and a daily olympic style competition complete with opening and closing ceremonies to decide who gets to sleep in the good bed that night.

Boy this thread took a weird turn. I skipped to the bottom and was confused AF.

BTW, good game FISERV forum. Loved the crowd tonight.

[old skool]

Still a lot of empty seats in the lower bowl. Fewer than for game 1. About 50-55 empty seats in each sideline section across from the side I am on. Upper level had more seats occupied again.

The fan experience is pretty good. 1000 times more fun with 9,000 fans. RS games with 3,400 fans was a welcome novelty but kind of felt like watching from another room. Not something I would want to do for a full schedule. it is sooooo much better with 9,000 fans. Almost everyone in the upper level seems to be avid and knowledgeable if you discount some homerism moaning.

I find ordering food through the app to be a pain and somewhat unnecessary. Contactless is safer for the concessionaire workers, but they had to add new staff to help you find your order, which exposes those facilitators to close contact, so I don't see it helping much big picture. They have opened some beer/cocktail only walk-up stations that had short lines.

Short rest room lines (zero social distancing for those who find that important).

In many ways, the experience is much more enjoyable without dance squads, air-bango races, t-shirt tosses, et al. That's just me.

The watch party outside adds to the atmosphere.

[soxperry]

Way better experience than normal for one reason. They have drastically reduced the between action bull. It feels much more organic now.

Yea, i couldn't put my finger on it, but it made it much more easier to socialize with the person next to you without feeling you had to quickly get it conversations during the game.

Was really cool coming out to the watch party. Felt crazy that it was only a Monday. Literally thought it was the weekend for a moment after the game.

They think that all the nonsense that happens during timeouts entertains the "casual fan". I was told that by a Bucks marketing guy a few years ago.

Agree with everything here. Felt like a real solid regular season level crowd at worst.

Food was a pain and I skipped it. I was a little surprised that 2 domestic pint cans with a 18% tip was like $30. That seems a little steep. It wasn't as bad outside, half that maybe.

Masks were not enforced really. I wore mine when left seat but in seat no issues.

I really enjoyed no, to very limited, bathroom waits and pro shop not being jammed packed.

Fun time and felt good to be back .

Drink Wisconsibly was surprising expensive before game. 1 tap beer was 9.50 plus tip. I'll stick to water to meet friends.

Do they have any of the regular beer stands open yet at FF? The 2 regular season games I went to they just had a small beer cart, 2 of them on the lower level, with a small selection of $13 beers.

Same that I saw. Had a beer cart outside 121 a d it was gone after halftime. And found a stand kind of by FOX crew that was selling. Mostly domestics, seltzer, and only craft I saw was Terrapin IPA. And yeah, domestic were $13 a can...

[Thunder Muscle]

All that I saw for food was through the app and it was basic hot dog, etc. I did see a guy in my row had a Chic-Fil-A wrapper though so that may have been open. I was on opposite side of building & didn't venture really.

I was just told by a friend that is close with a Bucks employee that they’re expected to go to full capacity for Game 5 of this series. We shall see if this is true or not, but that would be awesome.

That would be great. Next Tuesday. Or game 3 of the semis the following week if there is no game 5.
