That can and will happen again if the Bucks can manage to become relevant.

The issue in the past was just that the team was always horrible or the 7 or 8 seed and that doesn't get people real excited anywhere.
Well said. I am going off of memory, but in 2001 I believe the Sporting News rated the Bradley Center as the loudest arena in the NBA. Wisconsin is a great, great sports state. Not only are fans passionate, but they are well informed.
