Some of the loudest crowd eruptions happen at Fiserv Forum when Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis enters the game.
He is a man of the people and also Milwaukee's hype man, both on the court and off it, having partnered with VISIT Milwaukee, a collective of local businesses and services that conspire to market the city as a business and leisure destination.
The group announced Friday that it is launching the "Bobby Portis Pass," which will provide an opportunity to "live like Bobby" and enjoy about a dozen of Portis' favorite spots.
The locations will offer food and drink specials, discounted experiences and admission. Also every passholder will be entered to win various packages.
Each participant will be entered to win a VISIT Milwaukee and Portis swag pack and $100 in gift cards.
Those who "check-in" at nine or more stops before Jan. 9 will be entered to win one of two "Big Prize" packages.
The grand prize is four of Portis' player's tickets and an opportunity to sit courtside for pre-game warmups. The winner will also meet Portis and will receive an autographed jersey and poster of Portis.
The second prize is four tickets to a regular-season Bucks game, $100 gift cards from participating businesses, and an autographed poster.
Those who download the pass in the first two weeks will be entered to win a prize package from Potawatomi Hotel and Casino, which includes a one-night stay, two $50 game vouchers and a $200 food and beverage gift card.
The Bobby Portis Pass is the latest effort by VISIT Milwaukee to increase tourism and grow visitor and local spending at businesses. The group also previously launched the Brew City Beer Pass and Milwaukee Theater District Passes, which have garnered over 30,000 combined signups, VISIT Milwaukee said.
