Thanks for sharing!
Awesome man on the street article, especially topical with Lady Bird fever taking Sacramento to the next level.
Like many people who grew up at the Bradley Center, I was disappointed the NBA essentially forced us to build a new arena when the old one felt perfectly serviceable. But what’s done is done and we can learn a lot from the new arenas in similar cities like Sacramento and Detroit.
Maybe the author can check out a Pistons game soon enough? Big win for us last night over the Bad Boys from Motown.
Be careful what you wish for. The area is a ghost town when there is not an event at the arena. It is so dead that many of the businesses open only when there is a large event.
Who are the Bucks? Hasn’t anyone noticed yet? The USA has slipped into the Third World. Look around. We have a tin pot dictator in Madison and in Washington. Roads and infrastructure are crumbling. Debt loads are spiraling just so we can give trillions more to the richest people in the country after we already bailed out the “capitalists” on Fraud Street for trillions! So if the tyrants want to give us bread and circus, please at least make it soccer, ahem, real football so we can at least be legitimized for what we have become, a third world country and a state called Wississippi.
Good grief Terry, settle down. The readers of Urban Milwaukee are well aware of the challenges facing our country, state, and city. Trust me, I despise our governor and president as much as you do.
The author is trying to tie in one of the biggest “infrastructure” projects (admittedly, it’s a bit of a boondoggle) in our state’s history with what we should expect from the city going forward as the arena gets going.
And yeah, RA, if you read the article, the author clearly mentions that a challenge of the arena is those off nights. Hopefully the local businesses around the new Bucks arena (note that unlike Sacramento, it is being put in an existing downtown location) are prepared for the 300 or so nights a year when there is no event. Nobody is “wishing” for anything, the arena is under construction, whether we want it or not. So let’s make the most of it and know what we’re getting into.
