Work sadly. Sounds like it's going to be a blast and freaking nuts there.

I'll be at the one on Wednesday.

With buddies like that, who needs enemies!

VividSeats is selling tickets to non-con games already...who are these re-sale tickets from if single games tickets have not been made available yet? Are these STHs selling seats?

[We R Final Four]

Yes.

The only game i've searched is the KState game and yes VividSeats has some but less than 10 for the entire forum and all of them in the last 2/3 rows.  My guess is that they are just place holders until a bunch of tickets go on the market

I was in Fiserv Forum for about 3 hours today. The lower bowl view was outstanding! Upper deck in the corners is so much better than the Bradley Center. Center court in the upper deck felt the same as the Bradley Center. Concourse is very sharp. The local restaurants is a great idea. The Marquette banners look sharp. The color pops!

Per twitter, $11 for a Miller lite at the stadium.

Higher than Wrigley or Madison square garden. Way higher than Atlanta's family friendly concessions.

I didn't stop at the craft beer bar because of all the traffic on the concourses, can't imagine what they're charging there.

A case of Miller Lite $21.99.  That's 2 Lites at FF.  The Coors Lite Corner's value just went up.

Aside from safety concerns, I can't believe they are not mimicing the Falcons model.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I believe big tap beer was $9.50 at the Bradley Center.

The Falcons model generates headlines...not profits.  Ners had a great breakdown of why that model doesn't work.

False.  It does work.

Fans spent more.  That doesn't mean that profit was higher.  They had to buy more product and have more workers.  From the NYT article you linked to:

"Chris Bigelow, a stadium concessions consultant, said the novelty of selling basic food items at a lower price appeared to be a hit in Atlanta. But he has not seen any specific financial figures suggesting that the approach is anything more than a loss-leader."

Guess we will be doing more pre- and post- gaming at those prices.

How is the scoreboard?  Sounds awesome.  Seats?  Legroom, cupholders, aisle length?  Are you jammed in or room to manspread?

I was there for about an hour.  Lower bowl is good.  Less suites than Bradley Center.  Concourse bars are nice.  Bathrooms plenty, but didn't like the big M and W signage designating men's or women's.  Seemed weird, maybe a Milwaukee thing.  Scoreboard is sharp, thought the sound needed some work.  Locker room was spacious, and they have this central area where the players can high five the fans of you are part of BMO club.  All the seats are dark grey.  Marquette banners were redone to fit the space.

Sad to see a perfectly good building in the Bradley Center be destroyed, but that is coming next.

When I first glanced at the hyperlink I thought it was for a Fiserv Forum website and that it said Fifo rather than Fevo.

I kinda like that as a nickname for the new building. The Fifo...or not.
