Are you flying in BigKurty?
I feel like you should be there.

Milwaukee Tool doesn't have the money.
I'm going to guess an exclusivity deal for the tools used to build the arena.
I think MillerCoors and Potowotami are still the leaderboard on naming rights.

still think northwestern mutual and bmo harris will be there til the end. will be interesting.
kind of weird they've limited it to local places though. like for naming rights? just get who gives you the most money within the league guidelines. still think there's companies with deeper pockets overseas who'd be interesting in getting their name plastered on the court of only 1 of 30 nba teams. especially an up and coming one.

Recent Populous arena designs have straight seating sections along length of the basketball court sidelines, with the end seating zones focused on the center baselines. This is a vast improvement in seating geometry over the "extended octagon" configuration of the Bradley Center, where in many areas the seats are aimed far off-court. There will also be a maximum concentration of seats close to the playing floor (INTIMACY), as the seating is "top-loaded", as in many theaters. Also, expanding the lower bowl outward allows the pitch of the upper seating to be relaxed, with comparable sightlines.
Based on Feigin's revelation that the new arena willl be about 30 feet shorter than the BC (or about 415 feet), and assuming end-zones are indeed focused on the mid-baselines, could mean seating rows spaced 33-34 inches in the upper section (compared with 31-32 inches in the BC), and lower bowl seating rows spaced 34-35 inches (compared to less than 34 inches in the BC)
Unlike the "basketball-centric, short-octagon" arenas (Indiana, Phoenix, San Antonio, Brooklyn) the Poulous configuration affords good seating angles for a variety of small-floor as well as long-floor events. The new arena's geometry wll be as good as (or better) as the optimal "elliptical" configuration used in Madison Square Garden and the L.A. Forum (now a prime concert venue).
I do appreciate the Pettt's gift to the community, but we should indeed be much better off (less neck strain and better circulation in our lower extremities) in the new venue. I am not directtly involved with the design, but I do follow details of these facilties closely. This time, we will not regret the outcome.

Awesome post, I appreciate all the detail. I think I was more concerned with leg room since, as you noted, it's cramped. Would you have the figures on the Bradley Center leg room vs. potential new arena--if there exists such numbers?
