And we’d have threads about what went on that night, since so many members of this board could afford the seats back then.
1000% agreed. Honestly it got to the point in that 2010-2015 timeframe that if had season tickets, almost felt a part of the organization. I remember you could waltz into the offices in the BC, they’d walk you past the HC doing pregame interviews in the hallway, and just would upgrade me to 2nd or 3rd row from the court seats. As much as Herb was killed in his later years, he did a fantastic job of making you feel you were part of a family and not a subscriber to a huge business.
There were some seasons I think I got hundreds of dollars of concession cash, parking was cheap, etc. like it was a very reasonable night out to see NBA ball. They would give a game or 2 to all inclusive club too which was awesome.
Would I trade a high quality team for it all? Probably not, but as weird as it may be, my fandom is a little less diehard than it was then too. Just feel a little less disconnected from the team and org. As **** as some of those seasons were, I look back to that era in a positive light as got alot of access to cool things as a NBA fan, many good memories made by things the Bucks provided as in that time truly felt they valued every season holder.
