This weekend you can see the Bucks take the court for the first time ever in the new Fiserv Forum.
The team hosts the Green & Cream Scrimmage on Saturday, Sept. 29. Admission to the inter-squad scrimmage, which runs from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., is free and open to all.
While the event is gratis, fans must download a free ticket at bucks.com/scrimmage before heading to the scrimmage. The exhibition is expected to sell out, so download your tickets ASAP and be sure to arrive early as all seating is general admission. Doors open at 9:30 a.m.
In addition to the scrimmage, there will be an on-court interview with Bucks Head Coach Mike Budenholzer, Bucks Entertainment teams appearances, and giveaways and contests.
