1. Has Bogut or any of the players during games pointed to you guys or specifically acknowledged you guys at all in some way during a game?
2. Does Bogut talk to you or anyone else in the group with suggestions?
3. If you have an idea and need music to be played for it, will the Bucks play the music for you after it's approved?
4. Are the Bucks working with you guys at all?
5. Have any sourpuss type of sit on their hands folks in the crowd sitting near your group given any dirty looks or told you to quiet down?
I haven't noticed #1 DURING the game, but Bogut always makes a big deal out of acknowledging us AFTER the game. Pointing at us, clapping his hands in our direction, nodding, fist pumping, etc.
Yes to #2, 3, and 4 though I can only speak for myself on those.
Yes to #5. I'm not sure if you saw my post about the home opener, but there was one guy (there with his wife, presumably, both in mid to late 50s) giving us a problem. He actually demanded that the ushers tell us we had to sit down
Unfortunately the ushers I think weren't quite up to speed yet because they actually started making the section sit down but we got everyone back on their feet pretty quickly. I told the ushers they just ned to upgrade the guy to some better open seats (of which there were plenty) but they initially didn't act on my suggestion. Eventually they did, after Zak said something to them too, I believe.
The ushers have an adaptation period too though. They are used to doing things one way, and Squad 6 totally doesn't conform to that. So I'm not going to complain about the ushers at this point. They're just doing their job and will learn if they haven't already. Almost every single one of them seemed to adapt after the home opener already, so I'd have to say that's pretty good on their part, for sure. It almost reminds me of "Hamsterdam" from Season 3 of "The Wire"
The ushers were kind of like the cops were right away and didn't know how to deal with us having some of the normal rules altered on our behalf
