In Game
Despite being a relatively small school, the Marquette Golden Eagles have a large fan base that manages to do a good job of filling the Bradley Center. The Bradley Center may be an NBA arena, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find a college basketball atmosphere inside of it on Golden Eagles game days.
Golden Eagles fans cheer on their team loudly at Marquette games, and the student section is especially vocal. Marquette students can rival the noise created by any student section in the Big East and give the Golden Eagles and incredible home court advantage. The school also has its fair share of passionate alumni fans including the famous Jump Around Guy.
In addition to enjoying the atmosphere created by the Marquette fans, you’ll also get to enjoy NBA quality in-game presentation. The Bradley Center is home to a large video board, and there are plenty of ribbon boards and other displays located around the arena that give the venue a big time feel.
Finally, downtown Milwaukee is an excellent place to spend some time before or after the game. There are lots of local establishments to grab a drink or bite to eat at near the Bradley Center including Ale Asylum and Brick 3 Pizza. The immediate area around the Bradley Center is packed with Marquette fans on game days, so you’ll find a lively atmosphere surrounding the arena on game days.
Marquette is home to a very passionate fan base and a great in-game experience, so plan your trip to Milwaukee today.
