"Here to cheer them on:" Bucks fans gear up for playoff game with pep rally!

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- While much of April 23rd was devoted to discussions about a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks, Thursday evening was all about the playoff series with the Chicago Bulls. Game three was set to tip off at the BMO Harris Bradley Center at 7 p.m. But fans got there much earlier for some pep rally fun!

The pep rally which kicked off at 4 p.m. featured live entertainment, games, food, drinks and a lot of enthusiasm.  That's despite the fact that the Bucks are entering this first home game down in the series, 2-0.

"I'm just a huge Bucks fan -- and here to cheer them on," said one Bucks fan.

Other fans showed up to the pep rally hoping to score some tickets to the two homes games.
