Quick answer: When the Bulls visit Fiserv Forum, Chicago fans can skip the 90-mile drive and the downtown Milwaukee parking: a chauffeured SUV or Sprinter picks you up in the city or the suburbs, drops you at the Deer District, waits through the game and has you home around midnight. From the Loop, leave about 3.5 hours before a 7 PM tip on a weekday; from Lake County, about 2 hours. When the Bucks play at the United Center, the same plan runs the other way for Wisconsin fans. Premium SUVs seat 6; the Sprinter van seats 14. Book at milwaukeetoohare.com or call (414) 387 6619.

Why Chicago fans hire a ride to Milwaukee
The drive is the hard part
A 7 PM tip in Milwaukee means leaving Chicago in the heart of rush hour on the Kennedy and the Edens, then finding event parking downtown, then driving 90 minutes home after a loud night. A chauffeur takes all three off your hands.
Rivalry nights sell out
Bucks vs Bulls brings a big Chicago crowd north. Downtown garages near the arena fill early, and the exit after the final buzzer is slow. A drop-off and a staged pickup skip both.
Everyone rides together
Friends from different suburbs, clients you are hosting, or a family with kids: one vehicle, one plan, one ride home. See Chicago to Milwaukee car service.

Dinner first

One Sprinter van carries everyone both ways; nobody drives home.
At Fiserv Forum
How the night runs once you are in Milwaukee.
Drop-off
Fiserv Forum sits at the Deer District on the north edge of downtown Milwaukee. The chauffeur drops you at an agreed point a short walk from your entrance; streets around the arena close or slow before tip-off, so the exact spot depends on the night.
During the game
On a round trip the vehicle stages nearby for the whole game. You do not need to call; the chauffeur texts you the meeting point before the final quarter.
After the buzzer
Walk to the meeting point a block or two from the doors rather than the main exit, load up and head south. Overtime is not a problem; the vehicle waits.
Travel light
The arena limits bag sizes. Leave luggage and large bags in the vehicle or at home.
