Marquette Extends Top-25 Attendance Streak

For the 17^th-straight year, the Marquette University men's basketball team finished among the top-25 teams in the nation in regular season average attendance thanks to the dedication and support of the program's tremendous fan base.

The Golden Eagles capped a successful 30-year run at the BMO Harris Bradley Center last season, but are extremely excited to open play at the new Fiserv Forum in 2018-19. The state-of-the-art home of the Milwaukee Bucks will host 20 Marquette games beginning with an exhibition on Oct. 30.

Blue & Gold fans will have their first opportunity to see the new arena from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 29. Fans in attendance will be able to tour the arena, meet the players and coaches and checkout their season ticket locations. The ticketing staff will also be in attendance to help facilitate any potential new season ticket holders.

Details on the open house will be confirmed in the coming days.
