Just five Saturday home games this year, big deviation from the Kohl years. Only play Brooklyn, Toronto, Atlanta and Miami three times. Not a fan of the back to back home games on Friday and Saturday but one is opening weekend and can live with that.

Longest home stand of the year in the first week of the season is odd.

If the team wins, attendance won't be an issue. But if they don't, then I think LED will learn that Milwaukee enjoys going to Bucks games on Saturday nights. The other six nights of the week not quite so much.

That said I do like the Sunday afternoon games they've had the past couple years.

I kind of like less Saturday home games. They made up for it with 10 Friday games. Wish those were at 7:30 like they use to be. The Sunday night game vs Philly should be fun. That could be MECCA game or Thursday October 26th vs Boston. Kind of sad there's no Madison pre season game this year. Got great seats as a season ticket holder last two years. Maybe they'll give us tickets to see the Herd instead.

I feel like this may have come up already, but is there a chance they use the old Mecca floor for that game?

Back to back home games never happened until LED took over. I imagine that's something they requested, they can jet in, catch a couple of games and be back in NY in about 36 hours.

Mallory doesn't have classes on Friday so they had to take that into consideration.

The crappy part about tough early season matches, is we know it takes Kidd a couple months before he has some semblance of a rotation (not debating good or bad, but he finally settles in), so we could have some really terrible wacky 12-13 deep rotations in that first couple weeks with all those national games.

I kinda lean the Saturday games if given the choice. We always enjoyed coming down early AM, spending day in town with the game as a nightcap...without burning any PTO. But do enjoy the added Sunday games.

Only 14 games post Super Bowl. Will be interesting to see how attendance plays out. Maybe the thought is the team will have better record if more home games early.

My gut is MECCA game will be March 4th. Although think they would do a week night for sales boost. If so, I'll go January 29th or April 3rd.

My sleeper MECCA pick is February 13th vs Hawks. Hawks originally in MKE and they had some playoff battles in the 80s. Could also tie in beat Hawks in playoffs in BC first season. Might be a better opportunity to celebrate 88-89 team in BC though.

What time in February do you think Jabari's return going to be? I'm hoping early feb

I think the safe bet is all star break. Would be a bonus if he played 4-5 games pre break and then got a week to freshen up again. Certainly by all reports he is on track. Fingers crossed.

I don't think you can have a game in the Mecca without that floor.
