The Wisconsin Herd are part of the wave of the newer NBA G League teams that were founded in 2017. Others include the Agua Caliente Clippers, the Capitanes de Ciudad de Mexico, the College Park Skyhawks, and the Memphis Hustle. All but the Mexico-based Capitanes began play in the 2017-18 season. The Herd did well in the last season the team played, the 2019-20 season that was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. That season, head coach Chase Buford led the team to the top of the Central Division standings with a 33-10 (.767) record. Chase is the son of San Antonio Spurs executive and five-time NBA champion, RC Buford. He's since been hired to become the new head coach of the Sydney Kings in the National Basketball League (NBL) of Oceania. The Herd was one of 11 teams to opt out of the "2020-21" season which, like the 2020 NBA Bubble, took place inside a bubble at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex outside of Orlando. The regular season was only 15 games and the eight-team playoff was single-elimination. The 2021 G League Bubble took place February 9 through March 11, 2021. The Herd are the 2021 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks' G League affiliate. The Herd play in the 3,500-seat Oshkosh Arena, just south of the Fox River and downtown Oshkosh. Unlike many G League teams, Oshkosh Arena was built especially for the Herd. It opened in 2017 as Menominee Nation Arena. It's roughly 90 miles / a 1.5-hour drive north of the Bucks' home, Fiserv Forum in downtown Milwaukee. Notable players to suit up in the green and cream include 2021 NBA champion (Bucks) Thanasis Antetokounmpo, 2021 NBA champion (Bucks) and 2016 and 2018 NCAA champion (Villanova) Donte DiVincenzo, former Bucks star Brandon Jennings, 2017 NCAA champion (North Carolina) Luke Maye, 2019 G League champion (Rio Grande Valley Vipers) and 2021 G League Defensive Player of the Year (Raptors 905) Gary Payton II, 2015 NCAA champion (Duke) Marshall Plumlee, and 2020-21 Houston Rockets breakout big man Christian Wood. For the 2021-22 season, Herd season tickets are available for as low as $216 for the entire 24-game season ($9 per game) and up to $3,120 ($130 per game) for the best seats in the house - center court - with food, beverage, and priority parking included.
