Pettis just won the other night. Would be pretty wild to see a Pettis title shot in Milwaukee.

It's a Fight Night event (no PPV). Plus I doubt he'll be in title contention by then.

I park on the street a few blocks away. If the stadium had zero restaurants, cup holders, or skywalks I’m not even sure I would notice.

Games start at either 7 or 730. Plenty of time to grab the equivalent before the game and it will be better quality and less expensive.

Is that it is a chain people are? Wasn’t qdoba and cousins in the BMO BC? Would you guys care if they had those again?

The only thing I would order at the old stadium was refugee when they were still in business. You could get a smoothie, wrap and carrots for 14 bucks. Relatively cheap, healthy and filling.


The only time I spend over 5 bucks on food is when my wife and daughter come with. They are always hungry and never on time to stop somewhere beforehand lol


Preach brother. Took my 11 year old step son to miller park I ended up spending (not beer included) $75 on food. He had to have the chicken fingers. Then he had to have nachos. Then had to have dip n dots. Then had to have a pretzel. I kid you not he’s 75lbs soaking wet idk where he put it.

There's this word I like to use sometimes. It's called "no".

Fast food chain Chick-fil-A is bringing its fried chicken and other fare to the new Milwaukee Bucks arena.

A spokeswoman for the privately held, Atlanta-based restaurant company on Monday confirmed Chick-fil-A's plans to open in the Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center. Details on the new location will be shared by Milwaukee Bucks arena officials as it gets closer to opening, she said.

The eatery would be the first location in the city of Milwaukee for Chick-fil-A, which currently boasts six restaurants throughout southeastern Wisconsin. Locations in Pewaukee's Meadow Ridge Shops and in Pleasant Prairie are also in the works.

A Bucks spokesman declined comment.

First one in the actual city of Milwaukee and not the burbs. This will be huge during the games.

Ah bummer. I was at his fight (5 years ago?) at the Bradley Center. That was a PPV (the main event even) and he came out with the title. One of my favorite BC memories.

New court design this year. No more Robert Indiana M's. Some sort of green triangular shapes outline the court with a deer head at mid court. Not completely finished so that's all I got the peak at.

Think the question with Chik-Fil-A is if they will be open six-days a week during non-event times for walk in business. My guess is they'd do a ton of business if the Bucks set up their location to allow weekday walk-in traffic.

So you bread a piece of chicken and then put it on what looks like those cheap buns you can pick up at any grocery store and then throw some pickles on it? THIS IS AMAZING.

Twirl, there is some magic flavoring in that breading which is incredible. We'll probably learn a decade from now it contains THC or something like that.

Was banned from taking photos. Otherwise I would have. They were covering the mid court design with the scoreboard as they were working on it but I think it's just the deer logo.

If you get the nuggets at Chick-fil-A, try the sweet & spicy sriracha dipping sauce.

Oh ok. Makes sense. Are you saying that green triangles are all over the floor, kind of like what's on part of the Atlanta Hawks floor?

Hard for me to describe but they are surrounding the court (not on the court) in different shades of green with non uniform triangles/diamonds/shapes. The court is just one shade of wood for right now. I was told more designs or logos would be added to the court soon but they were keeping it under wraps.
