Team President: Bucks Fans To Return Sooner Than Expected

MILWAUKEE, WI — Milwaukee Bucks fans already were looking ahead to the NBA Playoffs last year when the coronavirus pandemic put the season on pause. Eventually, postseason games were played in the Orlando, FL bubble. Fans also have been shut out of the franchise's 10 home games at Fiserv Forum this season.

But on Tuesday, a Bucks executive said a limited number of spectators may be allowed to attend games as early as this month, according to TMJ4com. Speaking during a Milwaukee Business Journal panel discussion, Bucks president Peter Feigin announced the team was planning for 25-percent fan capacity at some point in February.

"We think this is optimistic," Feigin said during the panel, according to TMJ4.com. "We didn't think we'd get modified attendance until March or April."

According to TMJ4.com, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported the Bucks planned to host between 3,000 and 5,000 fans per game at the 17,341-seat Fiserv Forum.

There was no indication when the first game with fans would take place. The Bucks, who were 12-8 through Tuesday, are scheduled to host the Indiana Pacers Wednesday Feb. 3. After that, Milwaukee's next scheduled home game is Feb. 16 against the Toronto Raptors.
