Game #60- Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Charlotte Bobcats BMO Harris Bradley Center December 7, 2012

So excited, I am in Wisconsin to see my first Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field!!! But I couldn’t fly all the way out here without getting in another game so I brought some partners in crime from work to party with me. Nathan Huven is from Green Bay and his step dad Craig has been a season ticket holder at Lambeau since it opened. Nate’s girlfriend Rose came along to share in the experience. We hit up Milwaukee for the night to see the town and go to a Bucks game. The city of Milwaukee is fairly small, we walked most of it (in a drunken stupor) in just a couple of hours. For dinner we went to this great “speak easy” called the Safe House where it did take us a couple of minutes to figure out how to get in. Luckily we found the right lever because just inside there are several monitors where patrons can watch the unsuspecting visitors fumble around the secret entrance. We saw people doing the Macarena and My Little Teapot for several waitresses before they were let in. Next we moved over to Mo’s Pub for a couple Guinness’ and an Irish Car Bomb before heading to the game. To say the least, but the time we got to our seats we were lit. The game was actually fairly exciting considering the teams playing. Both are under .500 for the season but we had row 4 seats for $40, how can we go wrong? The Bucks played well for the first three quarters, in fact they were up by 25 with strong performances by Brandon Jennings, Marquis Daniels, and from the bench the Turkish wonder Ersan IIyasova with 21. No one play stuck out but the players were working out on the court. I guess I am a little jaded because the Lakers have an amazing team this year but no one seems to be trying. I wish I could provide more details but we continued drinking throughout the game so highlights are a bit fuzzy. I did walk around the building to try to find some cool fan memorabilia or team pictures but there was nothing. I got a hint from the info desk that the 1971 NBA championship trophy was in the lower level VIP area, which I weaseled my way into, but I didn’t see a trophy case anywhere. Tis life, the Bucks won 108-93 and we had a great time. In fact on the way back to the hotel we thought we were parkour athletes…we also quickly found out climbing on metal sculptures when it is 25 degrees outside doesn’t feel good on the hands…
