  1. My wife and I were season ticket holders for the mustangs original team. We watched the mustangs lose every game one season with a almost sold out Bradley center . The team doesn't understand to keep tickets low. Back then there was no tv package and they were successful in the stands. I didn't see the new mustangs for a few reasons including ; season tickets were way too high, not really family friendly and I'm suck and tired of everything in Milwaukee has to have a connection th Harley -Davidson. There is more to Milwaukee ... Goodbye Mustangs, now go watch the Admirals....

  2. This kind of sucks. I had season tickets last year and had a lot of fun even though they struggled. The season before was even better. I had more fun front row for the Mustangs than front row of the Admirals. For whatever reason they couldn't bring them in like the 90's. Times just had changed and it's a different market. Too bad, it was a good product.
  3. What's the difference between now and the late 90s, when the Wave, Admirals, and Mustangs all drew big crowds on a consistent basis?

    A big factor is the Brewers. There's only so much entertainment $$ to go around, and the Brewers are drawing about 1 million more fans per year than they were 15 years ago. And the Brewers season ticket renewals are due in the fall, right when these other teams are trying to sell tickets.

    Of course the economy doesn't help, and the Bradley Center is no longer the building that is was in the 90s. And the Arena League isn't the premier league like it used to be, it's not just Milwaukee that is having attendance problems. Why that is, I don't know. Maybe the sport is just too gimmicky. Maybe they need to work with the NFL. If the Mustangs had ties to the Packers (including appearances by Packers players), attendance would double overnight. But it isn't meant to be. And honestly, Milwaukee should focus on saving the Bucks, who are more important to the city in the long run.
