The Bucks will switch to all-digital ticketing when fans are allowed back into Fiserv ForumNBAE/GETTY IMAGES
Bucks President Peter Feigin said that next season "will start without fans" inside Fiserv Forum, according to Jabari Young of CNBC.com. The Bucks "will switch to all-digital ticketing, plan to convert to mobile ordering for concessions and work with data company SAP to incorporate detailed arena analytics." Bucks co-Owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens and Jamie Dinan are "relying on Feigin to continue reshaping the franchise" the group purchased in '14 for $550M. The team currently is worth $1.5B, and that "will likely increase should Feigin complete the development the team refers to as 'Deer District.'" The 30-acre community is "part of the team's economic development plan, to which taxpayers contributed" $250M. The area "will include more high-end apartments, and Marriott has committed to a hotel scheduled to open" in '23. Feigin said that plans around the office space of more than 200,000 square feet are "being reexamined due to Covid-19." Feigin said that the Bucks' TV broadcasting partnerships are "secure for another five years." The team's jersey patch deal with Harley-Davidson will end after next year, but Feigin said that three global patch agreements are "on the table and should be completed before 2020 ends" (CNBC.com, 11/17).
