Me too. I have a feeling they're asking a lot for naming rights and it could very well be a national, rather than local, name.

Not sure how I'd feel about a national name. I guess it doesn't matter but it'd be cool to get something local or at least regional.

I mean, BMO Harris isn't based in Wisconsin. They have branches here and all over the country, but they are based in Chicago. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they went national, and for me, if its outside of Wisconsin, I couldn't care less if its in Chicago or in some other part of the country.

I don't really like that BMO owns the rights now.

I don't know, like I said it doesn't matter, I just think it would be cool for it to have some sort of local/state significance.

Didnt realize i said that. But I will say this, "the arts" are important, but it would be nice if they generated income at some point as opposed to always depending on gov't to prop them up. They need a new business plan, fast.

MillerCoors isn't the government. Hipsters don't like musicals. And half the new arena is being funded by the government.

Only reason the gov't is in it is because they would have lost the team and lost the jobs to another city. Apples to oranges. But I do agree government shouldn't be funding stadiums either when the businesses and owners are perfectly able to develop or remodel their own arenas. In essence they hold the sports team for ransom over the tenant city with a sometimes very long history with the team.

And yes, you can blame hipsters for almost everything that is wrong in society. You won't get me off that. They are a scourge to humanity :nonono:

Interesting, I guess I never thought of an international company for Milwaukee naming rights. But if that gets them the most money of course they'll do it. I don't really care what they call it since Art's Performing Center is already taken.

With the Giannis influence, I could see a relevant European company being interested in hopping on the bandwagon for the next 10-15 years.

I also don't really care what they name it. Tho it would be nice if it was "cool" sounding. Something that has a nice ring to it. Unlike Utah's Vivint Smart Home Arena.

The you have to decide if it'll be called arena, center, fieldhouse, etc.

Agreed.

The whole debate on funding was done a long time ago and got ugly. It's done. Let's stick to the building itself now that it's in progress. Thx.

Oh yeah, I understand why it happened... Im happy as hell they are staying, but I wish more owners would step up and fund their own buildings.

Happy as hell they are in MKE for the foreseeable future!

Season ticket prices have been set for everything except the first row.

Everything in the 200 level is between $10-$42 per game. 100 level ranges from $45 (the last few rows of seats in sections 101, 102, 121, 110, 112 and 113) to $425 per game for the second row folding chairs that are on the court. The first row of those seats don't have a price but I'm assuming they will be more expensive.

The first 10 or so rows of sections 105-107 and sections 116-118 appear to have an extra high back on the seats similar to those in Orlando.

Aisle seats in the premium sections (105-107 and 116-118) are an extra $10 per ticket.

Season ticket holders in the first few rows of these sections as well as sections 104, 108, 115 and 119 have access to the Event Level Club.

Season ticket holders in the 10 or so rows with the higher back seats have access to the Mezzanine Level Club.
