Sweet, would be awesome if my buddy has a match that night. Would line up since he just fought on Friday

Good get for the arena. New shiny arena is drawing all sorts of good events, great to see.

I wish the Bucks would think outside of the box with their court like we're seeing at the lower levels (or we saw with the Robert Indiana court). I'd be thrilled if we could get a home court that is distinctly Bucks and doesn't look like every other arena with the Bucks logo slapped on it but it seems like that's not the direction they're going.

I'd go heavy on some Chic Fil A nuggets with Honey Mustard sauce during the games, but from a business point of view I don't understand. Why sign a lease in an arena when your company model bars you from a chunk of possible revenue on Sundays?

Post #705 » by **MickeyDavis** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 8:44 pm

Well they lose a chunk of revenue every Sunday in every location they have. The Bucks play few Sunday games. Sure there will be some other non Bucks events on Sundays but not that many. If their location is accessible all day, every day (sans Sundays) they will do well there. If they are only open for 2-3 hours on event nights then that will hinder them. But it's their first one in the city and I imagine more will open.

The original Robert Indiana court was horrendous and the new court "inspired" by that court was even worse.

Come at me bitches.

Wasnt there snow on the ground when they were on the verge of selling the naming rights?

There is like maybe 3 Sunday home games a season. It's not that big of deal. Makes more sense than the Mercedez Benz stadium having a CFA where their events are held very often on Sundays between the NFL and MLS.

I'd love to know how much they thought they were going to get vs. how much they'll end up getting.

Well we know they wanted $7-10 million over 20 years.

Time and a place. Given your experience with it I'd probably agree.

Big update on all the local food companies that will be at the new arena:

Kanter predicted that 80 percent to 90 percent of the draft beers sold in the arena will be a Miller product.
"Miller Lite seems to be in the DNA of this city," Kanter said. "We feel like we have options for everyone."

Ugh. I get that Miller is a big sponsor and will get a presence because of that but Miller Lite? Toilet water. I like Summer Shandy but Leinie has been owned by Miller for 30 years. Fortunately there will at least be some other good local beer options. I will seek them out.

As for the other food options they sound good. I usually eat elsewhere before a game but those are some good options.

Have to wonder how many of the local places mentioned will have actual stands or will it just be a menu item or two at the regular stands. Since the article states that Chick-fil-a is the only one staffing their own stand, I’m guessing it’s the latter.

It says Sobelmans will be at 3 stands now, so that’ll probably be like what they did with AJ Bombers at Miller Park. Get rid of the one primary made-to-order location and replace it with a few pre-made menu items at regular concession stands.

Yeah that's probably how they'll do it.

Nothing screams Wisconsin sports like Hawaiian Poke fish! jk Looks pretty cool. With 3 Drink Wisconsibly locations, there'll be plenty of craft beer on hand I'm sure.

Yeah and that's good. I'll admit to being a beer snob.
