Arena Construction - Make pitch for ASG in 22/23. pg 95

[Badgerlander]

I just wish it had an indoor area with restaurants and beer gardens and shopping etc attached, but whatever I'll continue to park on the street north of the arena walk to the game and then go home after.

Properly patinated zinc can look amazing. I don't know how it will look on this large of a scale tho.

I don't see the attached skywalk from a major parking structure. Not a fan.

Agree on the restaurants but that was a tradeoff from the local politicians who were hammered on not having the place take out the local bars/eateries.

[MickeyDavis]

I didn't notice the lack of skywalk connectivity. That would really really suck.

[ReasonablySober]

I like it.

[Wisky4life]

Mixed on the stadium. I like it, yet it seems they could have done more for it. I definitely would have liked a parking structure with a sky walk headed to the stadium. Cuts down the hassle of parking sometimes and the Bucks/city would make a killing on parking.

I'm just going to sit here and hope there aren't any setbacks in the future to prevent construction. I think we all need this stadium.

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

Not a fan. I wish they would've taken the Marquette/Miller Park approach where you have beautiful brick and stone that allows it to fit in MIlwaukee and look like it will be something that lasts centuries while incorporating glass and painted to make it look modern. I'm too conservative for this look. It probably all depends how the brick/stone(?) looks in person.

Yeah I know the local idiots fought against it but it sucks. I really wish they have chosen a different location. Absolutely nothing in walking distance from the arena, but hey lets have an outdoor plaza for a winter sport dominant arena, stupid and shortsighted as usual for our elected idiots

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I don't get the big deal about not including a skywalk for the parking structure. The structure is only supposed to have 1,200 spot and so even when sold out it will have ~3,000. That's an expensive eyesore for a small amount of people. There is just too many locations to park to make the skywalk that beneficial.

[nmeurett]

well its definitely one of the most unique looking arenas in the nba. I just hope the interior has all modern amenities like super fast wifi and huge scoreboard/video board

And....here come the negative comments on twitter about stealing UW funding and corporate welfare.

Huh? It'll be walking distance to Old World 3rd Street which has several restaurants/bars.

Many people don't want to walk outside in the dead of winter, not to mention walk outside downtown. It would have been nice to have the Bucks be the business that starts connecting buildings like in Minny.

[MadBlueEdwards]

Tough crowd here. I think it looks pretty nice.

The lack of skywalks jumped out at me right away though. Hope they add some.

My first instinct on the rust panel stuff was that it was cream bricks to tie in to the city and re-brand. A bit disappointed that it isn't cream bricks but if they pull it off it will work. Overall I'm happy with the design and that we finally got something more.

[MickeyDavis]

Having dining/drinking options inside or connected to the arena was always something I wanted. I want to park, eat/drink before/after the game and stay inside. If I have to go out in the cold and walk somewhere I might as well just walk to my car and go somewhere closer to home. Others think differently of course. Minneapolis has done it right. Milwaukee, as usual, doesn't.

[Nowak008]

Looks pretty sweet to me. I still wish the arena was going to be connected to our convention center tho. Outside of getting rid of the ugly blank area right off the free way, this thing isn't going to "revitalize" anything.

[sidney lanier]

Zing boom tarrerel. I like the Big Barrel.

Gemütlichkeit, baby!

[tski1972]

maybe there is a second design?

please let there be a second design.
