Hard for me to describe but they are surrounding the court (not on the court) in different shades of green with non uniform triangles/diamonds/shapes. The court is just one shade of wood for right now. I was told more designs or logos would be added to the court soon but they were keeping it under wraps.

I hope they don't rip off the T-Wolves' old court.

Also, the less gaudy, the better.

It was being covered by a lot of the jumbotron as it was maybe 4-5 feet off the court but to me and what I could see, it only looked like the deer head without the circle and wording. Also, does not look like the T-Wolves court. Kind of looked like this but in greens that more match our colors. Looks pretty sharp as it appears currently. I was told it was not done though.

This is a city that voted Olive Garden the best Italian restaurant like four years in a row after all. :D


What poll is that?

https://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/best-italian-2017.html

Ristorante Bartolotta
After losing the crown in 2015, Ristorante Bartolotta reclaimed its perch at the top of Milwaukee's Italian food heap last year. And if the 2017 results have anything to say about it, the Cream City Italian food staple doesn't look like it's letting go of that title anytime soon, as the diamond of the Bartolotta brand handily took first place for the second straight year.

If that wasn't enough, Ristorante Bartolotta also retained its hold on OnMilwaukee editors' hearts – and stomachs – coming away with their pick for the second year in a row as well.

It's not hard to see why. The intimate, welcoming little place in the heart of Tosa Village has the most authentic, most delicious and most engaging Italian – not Italian-American – menu in the city, offering up anything but predictable plates.

Tenuta's in Bay View came in closest, earning second place with a very respectable showing in the polls, while Centro Cafe, Calderone Club and Zarletti wrapped up the top five for 2017.

Runners up:
2. Tenuta's
3. Centro Cafe
4. Calderone Club
5. Zarletti

(I swear to God this actually happened though. Think it was the reader's poll from the Milwaukee Journal)

It's good. Personally, I think their breakfast is outstanding, but that isn't going to help much at Bucks games.

I'm hardly a food snob. I just think Chik doesn't live up to the hype. Obviously it's subjective and obviously they will do well there, especially, as PP said, it's open during non events.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Raising Cane’s > chick fil a, but I do like chick fil a.

It’s kind of along that in n out line, where it’s good quick food, but it tends to be overhyped.

I haven't been downtown for awhile, any progress on the entertainment portion?

Still mostly beams but was told that it should be open at the beginning of 2019. Who knows with construction timetables though.

Love the idea of the solid Buck logo sans writing. Very skeptical on these green triangles or whatever they are. Typically I'm a less is more guy.

I like both but Raising Cane's chicken is awesome. Do they have those in MKE. They have them in Chicago area where I live.

Also, I've wanted the logo without the half circle at center court for a long time. And glad to hear the Robert Indiana M's are gone. Leave those in the old arena.
We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

Chik Fil A is definitely tasty, and they'll get super busy on game-days.

Chik Fil A, Raising Canes and Wings Over are my personal favorite chicken places around. Canes and Wings Over need more locations here though.

Ha, exactly! And don't think they will make exceptions either as I believe the Falcons stadium has one but there was some pub about how they still weren't gonna open even on NFL Sundays.
