Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it safe for me and my family to attend events at Fiserv Forum?
In collaboration with local, state, and national health officials, we have adjusted our operations to create the safest possible environment to enjoy Bucks basketball. Fiserv Forum has made a significant investment in new housekeeping equipment and training to ensure that the Arena is ready to host fans. Resources such as hand sanitizer stations are available throughout the Arena. We also have all-digital ticketing and contactless payment at concessions locations. It is important for all guests and staff to remember that stopping the spread starts with everyone adhering to these safety procedures and committing to stay home if they don’t feel well!
How do you determine what capacity is safe for Fiserv Forum events?
We are making crowd capacity decisions on a case by case basis with the guidance of local, state, and national health officials. Our top priority at all times is to create an environment where people can safely enjoy the game.
After full consultation with the City of Milwaukee Health Department, Fiserv Forum has been approved to welcome crowds at full Arena capacity.
Will food and beverage be served at Fiserv Forum?
Yes! Thanks to the hard work of our concessions team, we have created a contactless experience that ensures safe service for all guests who choose to enjoy food and beverage at Fiserv Forum. Orders can be placed through the Bucks mobile app or at kiosks located on the Main and Upper Concourses. With this new, digital procedure, say goodbye to waiting in line for food! You will be automatically notified when your food is ready to be picked up from your section’s designated location. Guests will enjoy cashless ordering systems, socially distanced pickup and all of the same, terrific food that they have come to expect. Please make sure you have downloaded the Bucks App in order to use the new ordering system!
All food and beverage pick-up locations will be regularly sanitized throughout the event.

Yes. All retail staff will be provided with appropriate personal protective equipment prior to every shift. Guests coming to the ProShop will experience the following precautions put in place to protect themselves along with the retail employees:
- An increase in portable stand locations on event days to drive more traffic to remote locations, while reducing the volume inside retails stores.
- Fitting rooms will be closed off for use as guests will be prohibited from trying on items prior to purchase.
- The number of clothing fixture displays on the floor will be reduced to allow for additional social distancing between shoppers.
