Fiserv Forum is a relatively new stadium that started in 2018 as home to the NBA team Milwaukee Bucks. It also promised to host other sports events, which is why Simone Biles’ Gold Over America tour is taking place here. The Bucks owners and the local taxpayers together raised a mammoth budget of $500 million to construct the whole thing, which started in 2016. Fiserv Inc. purchased the naming rights of the stadium.
Many were left largely impressed by the experimental architectural design style of the place. The exterior of the stadium had an entranceway built of glass atrium, while the interior was built with ‘Cream City Brick, which has been described as “Milwaukee’s built heritage.” The Fiserv Forum stadium is also known as the first-ever bird-friendly arena.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Simone Biles the greatest gymnast of all time, or does someone else hold that title?
Have an interesting take?
The arena was designed to portray the heritage, history, and personality of Milwaukee. It is also considered the main hub of entertainment in the Wisconsin area and the reason for the growth of Milwaukee. In the future, it aims to become the largest architectural project in the city, hoping to combine places for entertainment, residence, and commerce. Even though it is quite young, the stadium has hosted a lot of major events. Most of them have drawn huge crowds, resulting in large revenue.
Some popular events held at Fiserv Forum Milwaukee
Ever since the stadium was opened in 2018, Fiserv Forum has brought numerous musical artists to the city of Milwaukee. Shortly after its opening in October, three iconic rock bands, Metallica, the Foo Fighters, and the Eagles, performed in the arena, kicking off a series of legendary performances.

Popular artists like Dua Lipa, Tyler, the Creator, and Imagine Dragons have all had concerts in the arena. Even legends like Elton John, Bon Jovi, and Toto have graced the venue, and the lineup continues to impress, with Lil Wayne and Justin Timberlake performing next month. Oh, and Stevie Wonder? Yep, he’s on deck too! But as much as Fiserv Forum loves its concerts, nothing quite compares to its most iconic moment—the 2021 NBA Finals.
The team had the chance to win their first NBA title since 1971. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is the team’s star player, stood up to the occasion, dropping 50 points on Phoenix. The Bucks’ 105-98 victory made history, cementing the stadium’s place in Milwaukee lore. Now, it’s the Gold Over America Tour’s turn to shine at Fiserv Forum, and if the crowd shows even half the love Milwaukee gave Giannis and the Bucks, Simone Biles and her squad are in for an unforgettable night!
