"Cold" Serve Forum

[BM1090]

It's a college game... if you want clean family friendly entertainment the NBA games may be more your speed. What would you reaction have been back when the student section used to chant "bullsh*t" "f*ck the badgers" or "hey! You suck!"

I don't know. I went to Bucks-Spurs last weekend and the guy in front of us was yelling gay slurs at the ref the entire game. I've been to four Bucks games this year and have been seated next to at least one obnoxious fan every time.

I was in 109 with my 12 yr old - kids (late 20's) behind us were full of robust language but 95% of it was because they were enthusiastic.  Overall he thought the passion in the section was really cool from the older couple next to us (gentleman gave a really good running commentary on the aspects of the game and the lady absolutely refused to not call them Warriors), to the guy in front of us who yelled "and one" after every foul (even some of KState's that were offensive), to the kids behind us who were cursing but also very liberal with dealing out slaps-o-five.

Great arena and environment - not as loud as i expected - but super glad we made the trip.

I think it will be loud loud for Becky.

Yeah, those "cupholders" are completely useless.  They're about an inch deep!!!

[Mr. Nielsen]

I wonder what people think of the permanent seat cupholders? Those look deeper.

I'm down in Row 14, set 114, the cup holders in the armrest are pointless.

[UWW2MU]

Permanent seat cup holders are fantastic.   Also the cold air blowing has not been a problem the last couple games for me.


Regarding profanity... the way I see it, you can be enthusiastic without the non-family friendly words.  I'd rather parents bring their kids to games so we can build the next generation of fans.  However, if there are too many foul mouthed fans, more parents will feel reluctant to bring the kiddos. 

There are two STH's near me that bring kids to the games.  Both groups do an awesome job of explaining the game and getting the kids involved and interested.  Fine parenting if you ask me!

[Carl Spackler]

I bring my kids to every game.  I boo / cheer as required.  And i definitely try to rally those around me to do the same.  That is why i go.  I dont understand why people go to games and then get upset when people around them are enthusiastic fans.

if you want an environment where there isn't booing/cheering/an occasional cuss - dont go to live sporting events - or go to UWM games.  There are plenty of seats at their games where you wouldn't have risk of hearing a boo or a cuss.

[BM1090]

I will never understand booing college kids.

I think it's more of a problem if someone is getting out of hand and/or using excessive profanity.   An occasional cuss when something extraordinarily good/bad happens is not the issue.

The boos were for the refs on Saturday. I don't understand booing college kids either when that happens.

Looking for tickets to the MU/Nova game.  I haven't made it to the FF yet. How are the upperdeck seats at either end of hte basket?  Seats are crazy expensive on stubhub so may be looking at upperdeck.  I assume they're much better than the BC, but are the upperdeck views decent enough?

I'm not in the endzone but I'm in 225 row 3 and I love it.

great job purposely misreading the wrong intent into the post.

it should be obvious i meant "cheering for mubb"/ "booing the refs other team" as required.  the fact this requires clarification is silly.

Yep. Plenty of seats. You can still hear cheers and boos.

I thought when I went on tours that behind the basket area, you are closer to the action than the BC. Center court felt like a wash. With less than 6,000 seats in the upper deck, many have said the concourse area is excellent!

Definitely didn't intentionally misread it and also wasn't implying that you specifically were booing the players. Nor did I think anyone did that on Saturday. It was just a general comment because MU fans have definitely booed players over the past few years.

I hope it is not too cold at Saturday’s game. Luckily I will be sitting in a suite.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I was actually warm during the Kansas State game.

Those big fans were quiet.

The fans above? Those have been turned off for a couple of games now.

Upper bowl isn't bad at all.

As an aside, I was surprised how many people were up in the Panorama Club during the game. I don't think I'd want to be up there during the game, but definitely worth a trip pre-game to check it out for a first time visit.

weird flex, but ok

GREAT flex, especially considering it's her first post.  She's been waiting 3 months for the perfect first post opportunity, and it finally presented itself.

It's going to be disappointing when we uncover it's just another Chicos alt.

The south sideline of the upper deck inexplicably had zero beer stands open on Saturday. Hopefully not the case for WI and big east games. Missed revenue opportunities as there wasn't enough time at halftime to walk halfway around the arena to wait in a long line at end zone bars. 

[mudeltaforcegurl]

I’m sorry I offended some people. It was not meant to be a “flex”.  I used to post here during undergrad, but I couldn’t find my old handle. I just moved back to Milwaukee, and am looking reconnect to the community.
