I was just invited to go to the game tonight. Kind of on the fence at this point. Would love to see the new stadium, not sure it is worth the hassle
to get up there and back. I better ask where the seats are, that could make all the difference.

Edit -- tickets in lower bowl, I'm a go

Entertaining first half. I suspect the Bulls will have one stinker quarter leading to another blow out loss.

3rd quarter will probably be it. No Blakeney thank god. Ready for The non O'Neal Shaq to kick bricks also.

They have been trying to compete but they are going to war with a Water Pistol on most nights. Won't know who they are until they get Dunn Markannen and Portis back.

Much closer game than I expected going in. I was misled on the seats and we were in the upper tank on a corner. Usually I would have been a bit
pissed about this but we were in the 1st row and I don't think there is a really bad seat in the place. Some random thoughts about Fiserv....

If you can get parking access in attached garage that is the easiest way to go, they are still doing quite a bit of construction up there but we were able to
find a side lot for $20 and it was only a 2 block walk. Much more convenient access to 94 for in and out.

Fabulous facility with very wide concourses and a seemingly unlimited variety of food and drinks everywhere you look. Large Coors light will set you back
$11 and they had craft beers for $12 both on tap and in 16oz cans. I didn't eat but it was like a food court at the nicest mall you have ever been to.

I am a relatively big human and I was comfortable in my seat, not cramped at all either side to side or with leg room. Sitting in the 2nd deck is fine but
I was kind of shocked at how steep the stairs were, especially walking down them. One wrong step and you are going to get seriously maimed.

I would say the most impressive thing about the place was the sightlines and overall open design concept. In most stadiums you have the concourse and
then you need to find your "tunnel" and head into the arena. This place has literally none of that. If you want to stop and view the game while walking
the concourse you can do it with both breakfast bar type areas or literally any other place. Other than some structural beams it is "open concept" which
allows the sounds of the game radiate through the entire building. I really liked that. I can also be a bit of a score board watcher and theirs I believe
is the biggest in the league. Just wonderful with stats and such and they have other boards that keep up to date stats on FG%, rebounds, blocks, etc
for both teams. Big thumbs up here.

Biggest disappointment or negative other than the kind of crummy seats was the entertainment between quarters and time outs. It was bleh.... Also when
they toss out all the free t-shirts and hot dogs in the cannons and such they only can reach the upper bowl when they sling shot it and even that is only
occasionally. They have people that walk through and toss some by hand but only once a game or so did we even have a chance. Small gripe. The
other one may be me being older but I didn't like all of the music they pound through the PA system while the game is going on. I remember they would
so some of this occasionally but I would say they played really obnoxious music during the game at least half of the time. I like to hear the squeaking of
the shoes, calling out screens and that stuff but I couldn't.

Anyway, this is all way more info than any one really cares to read, bottom line is I highly recommend heading up there for an event. You'll enjoy the
hell out of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know we have been over this topic a zillion times. Will never stop me from bitching about these rape job prices no matter how much money I have. I just think about the regular guy and kid saving all year to go to one game at $200 a ticket (which is fine) then getting hit like that on a few extras.

I bought 2 beers for me and 2 for the guy that brought me and a 16 oz coke for a total of $53. Ticket was free so in the end it was worth it but you are
likely close to $150 or even more for parking, ticket, 2 beers and some food for one person.

You got ripped off on parking. Milwaukee is flooded with cheap parking ramps. The one next door to the courtyard Marriott is $6 for 24 hours on the weekend. It's only 4 blocks from the stadium, and when I went to the game the parking ramp was like 90% empty.

And I agree. Beer and food prices suck. I think it's obvious they rig the prices because there are a lot of vendors and they would sell a lot more if they were allowed to compete on price
