One part of the Milwaukee Bucks winning the NBA Championship was the fans outside the arena. They played a role. If the role was simply showing support, they did. The fan base showed out for the Bucks’ games with it being as large as 25,000 people in attendance. Now, the Deer District was the thing to do this summer for UWM and Marquette kids. It felt a lot like Summerfest with all the crowds and the youth. The Bucks will try to recreate that for the Milwaukee Brewers. At the Bucks’ Media Day, they announced that they will be hosting outdoor events for the Brewers postseason run. As others have already called it, the Deer District has become the Beer District.

Bucks are planning to have outdoor watch parties for the #Brewers playoff run.

This is awesome. Everyone in Andrew Wagner’s mentions seems to be very excited about it. I didn’t know how it might take for the fans seeing as baseball is a different sport than basketball. You have more time to grab beers, talk to friends because the game moves much slower than basketball. My guess is it will be popping that first game or two then tail off until Milwaukee gets close to the World Series. Once the Brewers get on the cusp or get there, it will be rocking again. One thing people forget, and I’m not trying to be a dick here, is that the Deer District was not 20k deep at the start of the playoffs. The Brooklyn series was the start of it then it grew and grew.

We will see how much the weather and the timing of the games will play a factor. The timing is a problem for round one. Unlike hoops, they play games during the day. Given that Milwaukee is not a huge media market, they could play at 1p or 4p on Friday, October 9th (Game 1), and the goes for Game 3 on Monday. A lot of the scheduling will depend on if Boston or New York gets into the playoffs. The weather could be an issue later, but for the first three games, it’s looking good with the weather in the mid-60s.
