Kind of sucks that we have no one that really stands out. Speaks to the futility of this damn franchise.
Too bad there is already the world sports hall of fame down the block because it would be cool to honor all the average 'greats' the bucks had over the years outside the stadium.

Re: New Arena Design and Construction - Planning Commission Approves Page 31
I always thought the Bucks should have some kind of Hall of Fame. It certainly wouldn't be as nice as the Packers HOF but there should be something with the history of the team and honoring the few good players we've had over the years.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Yeah, the statue thing is a tough one. If I had to pick, I'd go with the Big O. When people think of him, they think of the Bucks. When people think of Kareem, it's the Lakers.
That, or another Fonz statue, since the other one looks like a 4th grader made it.
McGlocklin deserves something tho. Maybe inside the arena somewhere.

Final legislative approval for the Bucks arena was pretty anticlimatic.
But, still very happy everything is a full go.
Looking forward to the groundbreaking, I have heard no details on what they are doing.

Too bad it wasn't an all brick arena or they could have sung "Brick House" as the shovel hit the ground. Paschke might have called it Epic. Then they could encore the other two songs they knew, "Smooth" and "I Feel Like Bustin' Loose."

Don't forget Lenny Kravitz's "I want to get away, I want to flyyy awaaay...yeah yeah yeah ".
I swear they'd play that 5 times a game during the early 2000's.
Solid username btw.

Maybe they can sing "I want to get away, I want to flyyy awaaay...yeah yeah yeah" and time their chorus with 3 guys shoveling...

lol, how could I forget Fly Away. I think they literally had about a ten song rotation. Celebration and September are others Herb must have requested every game.

Didn't they also play Hit Me With Your Best Shot all the time? I vaguely remember that from when I was a kid.

I'm pissed they have gone away with celebration. That song classically trained me that every time it plays on the radio I am happy cause I associate it with a Bucks win.

Did you carry a bucket of confetti with you so you could sprinkle some over your head as well?

I distinctly remember Hearing chumbawamba at a bucks game.
It was the first time I heard someone singing pissing the night a way at what I thought was a family friendly event. That's when it hit me pissing was a PG word.

The music DJ O plays now is pretty bad. Lets get back to playing Crazy Train, Who Let the Dogs out, and Ricky Martin Cup of Life
