Not around my section but I wish the ushers would do something about people constantly getting up and coming back to their seats during game action. There wasn't more than a couple minute span last night where the stairs were clear by me.

Good idea to try, if you can, to get a seat at th end where the aisle traffic doesn't obstruct. For example for Foo Fighters I was in 106 seat 1. The aisle was to my right, stage to my left. Perfect. The people across the aisle from me had the obstruction. Although concerts have far fewer people going in and out than games.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Loudest it got tonight was when Bango made that no look half court shot right as time expired. :lol:



:lol:

I honestly think the city of Milwaukee has no idea how good this team really is.

They may not even realize it until we sweep Orlando or whatever #8 in the first round.

It's also weird, but when you're just blowing out a team like last night, there's relatively few moments to get really loud for. I mean, We went up by 19 in the first, and they never got closer than 9 after that. It was a blast to watch, but usually sporting events get loudest when it's close.

Marquette Women's Basketball will be playing there today because someone drove their car into the Al McGuire Center. They'll have the Bucks court down, and looks like they taped down the college lane and three point lines. Curious if they can get that tape up before the Bucks game tonight, or if it stays down.

In the lower level? The games I’ve been to, the ushers hold people back until a break in game action which I thought was pretty good idea considering the aisles are longer and there’s a lot more moving around if there’s more people in each section.

Sat in lower bowl twice and thought just about any seat would be great as I sat in the corners and was shocked how good the view was. Sat in the upper bowl corner last night. We’re terrible seats, especially for a $70 price point. It felt really high. I would go exclusively lower bowl from now on.

I've sat in lowers for a few games and people were coming in at all times. I especially love people who show up mid first quarter and stand for 10 minutes taking off their coats and getting situated. And then realize they're in the wrong section/row

I'm in 207 too. I agree with you people need to wait for a stoppage in play to go back to their seats. At this point I think people are still more interesting in checking out the new arena than actually watching the games. Hopefully that changes soon.

Sat in 115 for Saturday's game. Great seats, great arena. They did a wonderful job all the way around.

Giannis needs to keep winning POTW if they keep doing this deal. Pretty fair to sit in the lower corners - especially if you don't mind going on a Wednesday or Monday.

They hosted WWE last night for the first time. Saw this one one of the dirt sheet sites today:

"Last night was the first time WWE ran The Fiserv Forum in MIlwaukee, Wisconsin and we heard those in the company were really putting over how great and easy it was to load in and utilize the facility."

Good rep to have in the industry.

6 indoor loading docks instead of 2 outdoor

I wonder what kind of crowd they had

Don't know what the crowd was like but on the parking structure they were advertising $15 lowers and I saw a discount code for $10 lowers.

Looking at Twitter there were several sections tarped off for Raw. Also lots of complaints about a lackluster show.

FYI - Bucks Membership Benefits program went live today.

You earn 100 points for whatever year you have been a season ticket holder (i.e. If 5th year of full season tickets, you get 500 points).

In addition, you get 0.35 x whatever you paid for tickets (i.e. If paid $1000 total, you would get 350 points).

Total it up and you have that to spend. So in this example, 850 points.

Wow, essentially giving away nice tickets. Kind of crazy. But I think the WWE is struggling a bit as they don't really have a great main event guy right now due to illnesses/injuries, or they are super part time (e.g. Lesnar, Cena).

How much is 850 points worth $wise?

The Bucks initially declined to comment but this week provided a brief response from an executive with the team owner’s representative CAA ICON.

The permit is for transporting blasting materials, said Mike Abrams, senior director at CAA ICON.

“The blasting material is a shape charge that is used to cut the steel structure to help lower it to a safe elevation,” Abrams said.

In October, Marc Farha, the executive vice president of CAA ICON told the Business Journal that the Bradley Center demolition was going to be “conventional” and wouldn’t involve implosion.

Nothing has changed on the implosion front despite the plan to conduct a shape charge on the steel structure.

“We are not imploding the building,” Abrams said.

About $25, haha. Biggest item I could get was 1 of these at 750/each: $25 Pro Shop Credit, $25 Food/Beverage Credit, or Attend PreDraft Workout.

Next best option for me would be 15% Pro Shop Discount (500 points) plus invitations to member ViP events (250 points).

The largest item I saw was attend a Bulls/Bucks game at United Center for 8,000 points. Funny as that was a gift for renewing your seats after the Larry Drew year.

Honestly wasn't expecting much more. I do think full time season ticket holders should at least get standard discounts at pro shop and/or concession - even if 10%.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
