The fourth annual Bucks Fan Fest, presented by Pick ‘n Save, will return to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, Oct. 2, from 12:30 to 4 p.m. The Fan Fest will once again be highlighted by the team’s annual open practice, which will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
The event is open to the public and free; tickets are required, but can be downloaded and printed for free at bucks.com/fanfest.
The Bucks’ annual open practice provides a rare peek into the inner workings of an NBA team, including a first look at the new faces on the Bucks squad including Bucks rookies Thon Maker and Malcolm Brogdon, and free agents Matthew Dellavedova, Mirza Teletovic and Jason Terry. The practice will take place on the BMO Harris Bradley Center court and last for approximately one hour.
General admission seating in the lower bowl will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. All fans that download tickets at bucks.com/fanfest before the event will be entered to win a pair of courtside seats to watch the open practice.
Following the team’s open practice, the arena will be transformed into a festival celebrating the new season of Bucks basketball. Fan Fest will run from 2 to 4 p.m. and include opportunities for autographs and photos with current players, coaches and broadcasters, the chance to shoot a free throw on the Bucks court, appearances by Bucks game night entertainment crews, the opportunity to purchase Bucks gear and memorabilia, and "Bango’s Backyard" with interactive games.
This year’s event will also feature video game stations where fans will have the chance to challenge Bucks players at the popular NBA 2K17 video game.
