Future Meets Home

More than just an arena, Fiserv Forum is the central hub for recreation in Milwaukee, connecting communities, neighborhoods and generations. With modern elements such as its open concourse design and various components authentic to the city's culture, the venue was designed to reflect the heritage and personality of Milwaukee, while actively projecting progress and a renewed sense of community. This best-in-class, 714,000 square foot arena will re-energize downtown Milwaukee and be the entertainment destination for fans all over the Midwest.

The Experience

Featuring an active plaza space designed for year-round community use outside, and sweeping views both into the bowl and out to the city throughout the interior, Fiserv Forum is being built to redefine world class fan experience and highlight the communal nature of attending live entertainment.
