The NCAA awarded first and second round 2025 men’s basketball tournament games to Marquette University to be played at Fiserv Forum.  The event will be in addition to the 2022 opening round games at Fiserv Forum in 2022.

Milwaukee is no stranger to the NCAA Tournament.  The Bradley Center hosted the event seven times previously: 1992, 1996, 2004, 2010, 2014 and 2017.  The Mecca also hosted NCAA Tournament games in 1984.

“We are looking forward to hosting the 2022 and 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship first and second rounds with Fiserv Forum,” Marquette director of athletics Bill Scholl said in a statement.  “The Bucks have been tremendous partners with the university and we couldn’t be more excited to showcase the arena and the city of Milwaukee to college basketball fans from around the country.”

The Fiserv Forum will host a four-team college men’s hockey tournament in December, featuring the University of Wisconsin and three other teams.  The agreement was first reported by the Wisconsin State Journal.

The event is reportedly scheduled to take place Dec. 28-29, 2020 and would also include holiday tournaments in 2021 and 2022.

The State Journal reported the three additional teams included in the 2020 event are Arizona State, Clarkson and Connecticut.

It would be the first hockey event hosted at the Fiserv Forum, but it has hosted a Disney on Ice event and will do so again later this month.

The Badgers previously held a tournament after the University of Wisconsin discontinued an annual Badger Hockey Showdown in 2010 at the Bradley Center.
