Never is a Long Time

The Sidekicks failed to win road game with Milwaukee during the 2002-03 season. With the Wave moving across the street to the US Cellular Arena beginning with the 2003-04 season, the Bradley Center becomes the eighth building that the Sidekicks have never won a regular season or playoff game in.
