Just looked at the seating this morning and I pick this evening.  There are a lot of seat in the premium section still available.  I am a little worried they will not sell out those sections.  If the premium seats don't sell then what does that do for the economics of the program?

They might go after business groups to buy those seats. Or left overs from the Bucks who didn't go that direction.

Weird enough looking at the map the biggest glops that are open for premium seatings are only two sections in 107 & 116.

Do people not think 107 & 116 are a good value? It's truly remarkable that those sections are virtually untouched so far this late in the process. Lots of "worse" seats have been selected already.

I've been in lower for years-
but a comp seat 5 rows back is no longer available (end zone), and the ones nearby are nearly 2x price.

while the kids loved slapping player hands in the tunnel, we'll more than likely be moving up town, hopefully in the first couple rows of the center sections.

hard to really visualize even with the 3d and so forth- would have been quite nice to have a reseat event there close to actually choosing.

my time is tomorrow- we'll see how it goes

For the money, those seats at the BC were meh.  That's the frame of reference unfortunately as there has been no public viewing.  I have a feeling MU Guru is going to get squeezed back up on top.  These sections  will fill in though, but with holes to be filled in by opposing fans (which is one of the worst things in these sections).

No public viewing for MU yet if you call the Bucks ticket office and say you're interested in season tickets, you'll get a personal tour within hours.  Seriously.

To say the MU administration & the Bucks leadership do not see eye-to-eye would be an understatement  :o

I have always been in the uppers, but I just worry I won't get what I want because of so many lowers moving up...by the way, do you know, or does anyone else know how many seats per row in the upper deck?? It's 22 isn't it??

And people were surprised when I said the Bucks/MU relationship was "strained" a couple of months ago.

For how much we debate every tiny detail about the program, I'm amazed the fact that President Lovell mentioned they are looking into building a basketball arena warranted about 3 total posts here.

Here's the quote:
“We have about 11 acres. Whether that’s soccer, a new arena for basketball in the future, lacrosse, we now have an opportunity to master plan and use that property,” (Lovell) said. “We’re taking our time to figure out what’s next. We have the ability to dream because we have the space.

As of last week you didn't have to put a deposit down with the Bucks.  Call in the morning and be inside the arena by the same afternoon.

The Bucks out of town owners might just be finding out how cheap people from WI are, aina?

Words are cheap and Lovell/MU are going to be continually low key mentioning this to try and generate some sort of leverage with the Bucks owners.

If the owners had souls maybe it would work, but alas...

IDK if it's bad for the taxpayers but I have to say that I'm thrilled that the hedge fund boys have seemingly so pissed off potential partners that it appears nobody will even talk to them these days about naming rights.

Turns out relationship management is an absolutely critical part of business engagement.

I have it on good authority that Foxconn execs essentially told Peter Feigin to f' off

Just finished reseating, lots of inventory left, good inventory, lower and upper. At the Bradley Center, I sat in the little truncated section near the MU bench and exercise bike for years, but all those mini-sections are taken. Moved one section closer to center but up. I’m sure all the seats are going to be pretty solid.

There’s a reason why my partners - when we do business on either coast - do business almost exclusively with Midwesterners who happen to live on the coasts.   
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
