Hypocracy at its Finest (Arena Stuff)

Who saw Sterns comments about the Bradley Center? Obviously not a consistent message being put out by Stern? Key may have the worse lease in the NBA but that can be renegotiated, Why does Milwaukee (BTW it was originally an Algonquin term meaning the good land) get a pass for the foreseeable future?

Until now, Stern had not spoken publicly about the Bradley Center, first opened in 1988, and its future as an NBA arena. But Stern, who has become personally involved in controversial arena issues in Seattle and Sacramento, Calif., said the Bucks and the community will one day have to have a meeting of the minds
My favorite quote:
"I think down the road given the shape of the bowl and constriction of the site . . . that eventually the citizens of Milwaukee will be facing the issue of a replacement for the Bradley Center," Stern said. "But why rush it? It's a good dialogue to have, a good discussion to have. The negotiations between the Bucks and the Bradley Center will have to reflect on the need to squeeze additional dollars out of this facility. But the Bucks are well managed, and for a period of time, this arena will do. And the planning process will obviously have to begin."
