MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – There could be more people in and around Fiserv Forum for Game 6 of the NBA Finals than there are inside Lambeau Field for a Green Bay Packers game.
The Milwaukee Bucks are expanding the Deer District watch party just outside the arena to accommodate as many as 65,000 fans on Tuesday night. The main stage and screen are being moved to Block 6 of the district, directly north of Fiserv Forum between Vel R. Phillips Avenue and Fifth Street. The party will stretch back across Juneau Avenue and continue onto the plaza at Fiserv Forum.

Barry Alvarez talks retirement, future of Badgers athletics
Barry Alvarez announced in April that he would be stepping down as athletic director this summer.
In 1990, Alvarez was introduced as the head coach of the Badgers football team. He was inheriting a team that hadn’t had a winning record since 1984 and won just seven conference games during that stretch.
He came in with the confidence needed to revive a struggling program.
“Let me just say this,” said Alvarez at his introductory press conference, “they better get season tickets right now because before long they probably won’t be able to.”
