Weather cancels Bucks watch party; fans cheer inside
MILWAUKEE - Due to weather, the watch party on the plaza at Fiserv Forum that was scheduled for Thursday night's Bucks game was been canceled, but it didn't stop fans from cheering on the team.
A full house inside the Mecca Sports Bar & Grill brought fans together, excited not only for the Bucks playoff run, but the beginning of a city reopening.
Tickets went on sale Thursday for more potential playoff games at Fiserv Forum. For the first time this season, the team will be playing in front of a packed house – more than 16,000 fans.
"It’s so exciting, they’re playing just amazing. Finally to be able to be out and around people combined with that makes it really exciting," said Kris Nail.
This playoff run is extra special with a team playing its hardest for a city that is happy to have something to cheer about again.
"It’s honestly great for fans, for the city, I love it," Jacob Gronkowski said.
