They have a product that sells itself now. I can only imagine post Giannis how bad it will be. But I have no doubt LED will cash out before then. Before FF was finished I got a tour from a rep. She was from the east coast and didn't know anything about basketball let alone the Bucks. And couldn't answer basic questions about the new arena. I've talked to Feigin a few times. He's pretty sharp. The rest of the organization not so much. The new owners pretty much cleaned house and replaced everyone with incompetent/cheap hacks.

And many from out of state. Hasn't helped things.

But, as you said, Giannis makes it all go, and LED appear capable of keeping him happy.

Not to shill for them, but I'd guess they probably at best break even or maybe even have lost money with the payroll where it is at right now. This is still a tiny market with small TV/Local media contracts. Unless the owners dig into their own net worth, they're going to squeeze every dollar here.

They probably figured they'd put the ring thing out there as a limited giveaway, and then spur sales of them at the pro shop for $19.99.

Makes sense but they have to be making a ton of money off merch. It has to be up like 10,000 percent or more from 10 years ago. The Wisconsin sports store in the mall had a small rotating rack devoted to the bucks and that was it or the pro shop at the Bradley center.

These contracts and taxes are massive though. Say the Bucks sold a hoodie to every single person in Milwaukee and say their portion of the profit was $50 after all costs. That's basically the equivalent to resigning PJ Tucker this year. And this is a 1 year thing. We went from no one caring about the Bucks with no gear to everyone needing a shirt for when they go to the Deer District. There wont be that same kind of boost in the coming years, especially if we lose in the first or second round. As crazy as last year was for us fans, it was even crazier as an organization and that will never be replicated...even if we win championship after championship. Hell i see it when i try to find people to go to Bucks games this year. It just isn't the same as last year.

Any chance we get the 2023 All Star Game after it's inevitably pulled from Utah due to the HB11 stuff?

Post #387 » by **MickeyDavis** » Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:16 pm

Well it's been 45 years. We're due. LA and New Orleans have each had TWO since 2008. Vegas had one and they don't even have a team. Many teams have had more than one since we had our last one.

I see people are asking up to $250 for the ring on ebay. Shoot, if they sell for that I may have to come up off mine.

Me and the wife decided we only needed one in the house. Sold the extra on Ebay. $200 plus shipping and insurance. Had lots of offers around $168-$185

I don't park on the street so I can't confirm but this was tweeted in October

Ended up parking on Juneau St up by MKE Brewimg. Said 2 hour parking up to 6pm, so I assume was free after. I didn't have a ticket. Not sure if I was lucky or was fine, haha. It worked well though as was back on 43 off Highland fairly quickly too.

I parked at the intersection of Kilbourn and Broadway for Tuesday night's game and it was super easy. Almost too easy, like there has to be some sort of catch. Free, only a 10 minute walk, and puts some distance between you and all the traffic around FF after the game.

I always Uber because it's "easier" but it gets expensive and finding one after the game can be hell sometimes. We usually end up walking that far anyway.

I'm just looking for them to put some lipstick on while they are screwing us. The Bucks are the city of Milwaukee's team when they want us to pay for the stadium or foot the bill for the parade. But when it's time to reward the season ticket holders and fans for their support they indignantly screw it up.

I want to go to one more regular season game, there are only 3. Thought about Clippers and then pick up a ring but it's a B2B and I don't want to see the B team. So probably Sunday against Dallas. Celtics next week is another I may be interested in. Front end of a B2B, seeding probably won't be decided yet.

so playoff strips sold verrrry quickly. i didn't have a spreadsheet with price breakdowns handy so i had no idea what i was looking at when it showed the total per seat price. turns out they were actually a really good deal, not much different from regular SSH prices if at all.

Pleasantly surprised on availability and costs. Obviously they went quick so it went from "hmmm, maybe i should look at this angle" to "holy **** add to cart now on first green seats you could find"

It will cost you more than $200 when your divorce lawyer is trying to make sure you get custody of the ring :lol:

Bucks vs Celtics is Giannis Trophy bobblehead night

Plus should be a good one as I can't see Bucks taking this one off

Definitely like getting to one more before playoffs kick off

I was on vacation and didn't get a chance to dive into this. Did you have to pay for all rounds upfront?
