Bucks set a Deer District capacity limit of 11,000 people for Friday night's Game 6
Following the heroics of Jrue Holiday and the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5, Friday's Game 6 between the Bucks and Boston Celtics is likely to produce a decent showing of fans on the Deer District plaza. The Bucks are setting a capacity limit of 11,000 fans for Friday night's festivities.
The Bucks are also encouraging fans to arrive early for Game 6. Gates for the watch party will open at 4:30 p.m., two hours before tip-off.
All fans will go through a magnetometer before entering the watch party and no bags are allowed (only wallets smaller than 4"x6"x1" are permitted).
Fans looking to attend the watch party should enter on the south side of the plaza near the intersection of Highland Avenue and Vel R. Phillips Avenue. Fans with tickets to Game 6 should enter on the north side of the plaza near the intersection of Juneau Avenue and Vel R. Phillips Avenue. Doors to Fiserv Forum open at 5 p.m. to ticketed fans.

The Bucks said limited tickets are still available for Game 6 at bucks.com/tickets. As of Thursday night, fans could purchase a standing-room-only ticket for $120 or a seat for $170.
Roughly 5,000 people packed into the Deer District for Game 3 of the series, which fell on a Saturday and the weather was great for May in Milwaukee. Friday's forecast calls for temperatures in the 70s, winds between 5 and 15 mph, and it's expected to stay dry.
The Bucks lead the series 3-2. If they win on Friday they advance to the Eastern Conference Finals again.
