The RNC has moved into Fiserv Forum. Is the Bucks Pro Shop, atrium still open?
The proximity of the three main buildings to be used during the RNC
Check out the proximity between the Baird Center and Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee which will be heavily used during the Republican National Convention.
The Republican National Convention has officially moved into Fiserv Forum.
Planners and the “build-out” team started their work June 3 to turn the home of the Milwaukee Bucks into the main venue for the convention, which runs July 15-18.
But can the public still get into the arena at all before the convention? In particular, is the Bucks Pro Shop still open?
Here’s what to know about whether you can access parts of Fiserv Forum as the RNC continues setting up inside:
Is Fiserv Forum still open to the public before the RNC?
The atrium of Fiserv Forum closed to the public June 3, the same day the RNC began moving into the arena.
During the RNC, only people with credentials will be allowed to enter. The venue will be closed to the public during the convention.
Fiserv Forum will also remain closed to the public until the RNC finishes its post-convention “move-out,” an RNC source said.

Is the Bucks Pro Shop still open to the public before the RNC?
While visitors won’t be able to access the atrium, the Bucks Pro Shop will remain open to the public until July 8. There’s a separate entrance to the store that doesn’t run through the atrium.
The Bucks Pro Shop website notes the Fiserv Forum location will be closed through July 25, potentially indicating how long the move-out process will take.
During that time frame, the Bucks are asking fans to visit their other Pro Shop location at Bayshore mall, which is open Tuesday through Sunday. The Pro Shop also operates out of three Name of the Game stores in Wisconsin.
Will Fiserv Forum still offer public tours ahead of the RNC?
While Fiserv Forum typically offers behind-the-scenes tours, no public or private tours are being offered from now through September, according to the venue’s website.
When they are offered, the tours last about 90 minutes and cost $21.58 for adults and $16.19 for children.

Are there any concerts scheduled at Fiserv Forum this summer?
No concerts or shows are scheduled for Fiserv Forum until Aug. 2. But June and July are typically slower months for the venue — no concerts were held in those months last year, and just two the year before that.
