Throughout the Milwaukee Bucks’ playoff run to the NBA Finals, viewers have been treated to plenty of crowd shots from outside Fiserv Forum.
The Deer District — the arena’s entertainment district — has essentially served as the city’s gathering spot for every game in the playoffs. But with a chance for the Bucks to win their first NBA championship since 1971, the Deer District expanded to an entirely new level.
The Bucks increased the Deer District’s capacity on Tuesday to around 65,000, and by the time tipoff came around, fans covered basically every corner of the Deer District. Many fans didn’t even have a view of the TV screen. They just wanted to be as close to the game as possible.
