MILWAUKEE — It’s time to party like it’s 1971, Bucks fans.
The Deer District will host Milwaukee Bucks playoff watch parties in the plaza for every Bucks game throughout the playoffs this year, including both home and away games.
The first playoff party is Sunday, April 17. The Bucks take on the Chicago Bulls in the First Round series at home at 5:30 p.m.
Watch parties for the 2022 playoffs will max out at 11,000 fans. Gates to watch parties will open two hours before tip off. Tickets are not required.
Everyone who wants to get a good look at the stage and outdoor screen on the south side of the plaza will need to enter via the south side of the plaza near the intersection of Highland Avenue and Vel R. Phillips Avenue. Everyone will go through a magnetometer.
No bags are allowed on the plaza, but you can bring a wallet as long as it is smaller than 4x6x1 inches.
Fans who are watching the Bucks game inside of Fiserv Forum will enter on the north side of the plaza near the intersection of Juneau Avenue and Vel R. Phillips Avenue.
Juneau Avenue will be closed for traffic between 5th Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue.
The plaza will have extra food and beverage options for fans during the watch parties, including the Jack Daniel’s Airstream, which will serve an array of cocktails.
The first 2,500 fans at each watch party during the First Round can snag free banners, and Deer District officials said fans should get ready for surprise guest appearances and acts throughout the playoffs.
There is also a new Deer District all-access VIP area. It’s an exclusive perk that is invite-only, but fans can join the waitlist here. VIP members receive an NFT membership card designed by Milwaukee artist Big Shot Robot, watch party giveaways, access to a VIP area near the stage and special offers from area-establishments.
