Bucks' New Arena To Place Emphasis On Premium Club Seating Instead Of Suites

The Bucks' ownership group "will go big on premium club seats while decreasing the number of suites in the new downtown Milwaukee arena" compared with BMO Harris Bradley Center, according to Rich Kirchen of the MILWAUKEE BUSINESS JOURNAL. While the current venue "has 42 suites with a capacity of 840, the new arena will include 34 suites with a capacity of about 600." The new arena will "feature a capacity of about 1,000 club seats in a variety of settings." BMO Harris Bradley Center "lists a capacity of 360 for club seats." The Bucks "plan to install premium club seats spread over the center section of the lower seating area on both sides of the court." Club seats also "will be available in settings called the 'theater club' and the 'panorama club.'" The Bucks plan to "offer a range of sizes with capacities of 12, 15, 18, 24 and 30 seats." The 30-seat suites are "being called sponsor suites." The Bucks also "plan theater and opera box seats with a total capacity of 178" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 4/23).
