Title: Parking for NMD
Post by: Mr. Nielsen on February 08, 2019, 08:23:17 AM: I was waiting until we got closer to the game. For the people who will be going to the Villanova/Marquette game on Saturday at Fiserv Forum. I want to stress downtown Milwaukee will be very busy with other events, so parking will be tough.

The Milwaukee Admirals will be playing at 1PM at UWM Panther Arena and they will be having a pretty big crowd for their game on Saturday.

At the Wisconsin Center, there is something called Twisters Gymnastics Invite going on. Boys Levels 4-10 & Girls Level 2-10. Meaning this event will be eating up tons of parking spots as well.

With Wisconsin at Michigan at 11am on FOX, the Villanova/Marquette tip time on FOX will be around 1:32. So, the national anthem and starting line-ups will take place at 1:20pm.

I hope this info helps and let's cheer on for a big win!

No problem. I go to handfull of Admirals games each of the past three seasons. I've been to games were the Admirals have a big crowd and the Bucks are playing at the same time in the past at the Bradley Center and now Fiserv Forum. It's gridlock downtown with cars.

I'm guessing the parents of these kids will be the most intense people in town....

Post by: warriorchick on February 08, 2019, 08:47:51 AM: I got this in my email:

Lyft is offer a $5 ride to/from campus & Fiserv Forum using code 'Marquetteday' - valid on Saturday only between campus and Fiserv Forum.

Not sure that distance is normally much more than that, but it's an alternative.

Seems like a pretty quick cutoff given that it can take at least 15 minutes just to get out of a full arena, and that's assuming you just head straight for the exit at the buzzer. Did anyone have an issue getting out? Did they actually charge extra if they didn't get out on time?
