All-gender line was terrible too. Interesting that there are more women's than men's. Of course there's a lot of non-NBA stuff going on there too.

And I agree on the Saturday night thing. Although, maybe people will go during play, who knows.

I have a suggestion for any Squad 6 (Clutch Crew) people that I think would help the crowd significantly.

I was in the original Squad 6 so I have nothing but love for you guys and I truly hope this doesn't come across the wrong way.

The crowd is much more ready to join in on chants in the playoffs. There were 2 moments in the first half of game 1 that the crowd tried to chant along with Squad 6 but it just didn't sync up. Squad 6 is always so amped up that their tempo is typically too rushed. I feel like it was better in the 2nd half so not sure if an adjustment was already made or not.

My suggestion is this:
- Keep all the chants super simple in the playoffs (no more 'd,d,d, defense!' or anything else the whole crowd can't do easily)
- Keep the tempo slow
- Only use like 2 or 3 different chants total
- Bonus: Next year the Bucks should split Clutch Crew in half and have half on each end of the stadium. Gives opportunity for some fun back and forth and more easily gets a chant going throughout the stadium.

Women pee more and take longer in bathroom typically

They can't use urinals so their bathrooms hold less people

There are events at Fiserv that will be many more women at times, IE concerts

I feel that the food service is incredibly slow and unprepared. Add that to the lack of rest rooms and a lot of people are unprepared for being seated for the start of the second half. Especially those who really don't care passionately about the game.

I've been trying to say this since the original Squad 6. Considering the MC doesn't know how, Squad 6 could come up clutch in an incredible way if they could manage the crowd from start to finish. When the crowd is dull, stop chanting and just make some noise. Y'all should be neutered down to the two standard "DE FENSE" and "LETS GO BUCKS" chants for the playoffs, no matter how lame they are. It's all Milwaukee knows, it's all Milwaukee needs.

Worth disclaiming that I was a crowd hater in round one, but really didn't have any issues with yesterday. They were pretty damn loud at certain points and were ready for rallies.

You’ll also find 14 all-gender bathrooms in addition to the 18 men’s and 22 women’s rooms.

They really need to have some trough urinals on each level that can shuffle in hundreds of guys when the forum is packed. It was bad on Sunday, wait until a packed Saturday night game where everyone comes in after a few drinks at dinner.

And they've had bigger crowds than yesterday. Only 17,500. They've had over 18K with standing room. It does get bad.

Agreed. I understand food being slow at the beginning of the year. But some of those stands still haven't figured it out. And the playoffs has a large number of people who never went to games before and wander around aimlessly clogging thing up.

Yeah the food service yesterday was horrendous at the chicken place on the concourse. Took forever before the game.

I'm at the Hyatt near the Forum. Any particular walking distance bar you guys recommend going, or a place to get a quick bite?

The Mecca sports bar just opened today.

I hear lots of complaining about the bathroom lines and they are awful, is that something though that they could actually fix at this point?

Thunder Muscle · Post #693 » by **Thunder Muscle** » Wed May 1, 2019 4:41 am

Bathroom lines were indeed brutal when I walked around at halftime. Even after game there were some long lines.

Some food lines were long too. Chic-Fil-A at least moved fast at the half.

MECCA sports bar seemed nice but was obviously packed. Rain was a little buzzkill to pregame. I wonder how these places will do on non game/event nights...?

Limca · Post #694 » by **Limca** » Wed May 1, 2019 5:44 am

Bathrooms have been a joke all year. The ratio of men’s to women’s is absurd. I will usually go with less than a minute left in a quarter to beat the lines.

I won’t even attempt food or drink lines during playoffs. We have servers running up and down our section and if nobody is there the beer button on the bucks app is very efficient.

One of my big gripes with restrooms was during the regular season they didn’t have audio piped in. How could they possibly not think to put audio in the bathrooms? Really? Well they corrected that (kind of) for playoffs. The problem is the audio was really low and I could barely hear ted Davis.

We got a raw deal on this second round schedule. No weekend games. Game 1 was complete BS. I knew and was telling my friends that a noon game was going to be a problem. This isn’t a packer game where people tailgate and plan for months to goto a game. A noon NBA game in Milwaukee is awful. There was no energy by the team or the crowd and we paid the price. I’m still irritated we don’t get a weekend game in this round. Milwaukee needs weekend games to get amped up.

I was at last nights game and thought the crowd was pretty good. Maybe a little late arriving and the people leaving with 5 minutes to go was quite a bit, but in between it was loud/people into it. Agree though, the home date slate is kinda underwhelming.

The weather kind of killed some of the pregame vibe last night. There was nothing going on outside due to rain and sure that kept some home later than usual.

I also didn't realize my tunnel to I-43 north is out until June, ugggggh, Haha.

Does Goolsbys still get pretty packed on game nights? I used to go to the Brat House for pre Fiserv games but just go to that plaza area now to be closer to arena.

I don’t get the love that place gets. The food is absolute garbage.

I really like Good City’s food. Glass and Griddle is a bit further. For a super quick and cheap bite, there a NY style pizza by the slice place on third st that is okay. Or of course George Webb.

I haven't been there yet. Is that a food/drink joint or more like games? Trying to check out a different place each time. So far I've only been to the beer garden, Good City, and now the MECCA.
