If they can't find a company to buy naming rights soon, maybe we can call it "Milwaukee Tax Payers Arena"

It's twice as big as the scoreboard in the BMO. Also, it will be the largest center-hung scoreboard in the NBA. Each side is 29 feet tall by 25 feet wide.

Also, isn't it way more display on top of that? The BMO has a big screen on each side, but I thought with the rounded edges being display it will be significantly more viewing sq. ft.

there is, all the way around. Im curious to see it in action though because id lean more towards a widescreen myself

For comparison sake

Watch on YouTube

The 24-display configuration featuring 3,922 square feet of video displays – enough to cover more than three-fourths of the basketball court below it – will be "literally almost twice the size" of the current scoreboard at the BMO Harris Bradley Center

I'm there. Might be super expensive, though.

County Stadium was the best. Miss that place daily.

I've recently gotten into Foo Fighters and $49 tickets seem completely reasonable to me, so I'd consider going.

Also plan on getting tickets for Anthony Jeselnik at the Pabst. $29.50 is insanely cheap.

Elton John is one of the few artists I would pay out of the ass to see live once.

FF tickets are pretty reasonable as concerts go, top price of $99. Various Presales have started so you may not want to wait until the official on sale day Friday. I got in right away at 10 yesterday and first it gave me upper level, no thanks. Then lower level in the back. And eventually I got some pretty good seats. I think anyway, until I've been in the new place it's hard to tell.

EJ puts on a very good live show. $224/$124/$49 pretty steep. Presales start tomorrow for EJ if you have an American Express card or are in his club.

That's actually cheaper than I was fearing for his farewell tour. Where did you get those prices from?

Post #1838 » by **MickeyDavis** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 9:34 pm

Ticketmaster. Of course fees will add about $20 for each ticket. If you want in your best bet is to use an AMEX card, you can get them tomorrow. Also, if you have a Ticketmaster account (or create on), you can get in on a presale next week, they select some to buy tickets. I signed up for that too and will try with Amex tomorrow. The thing with presales is only a certain amount of tix are available. And they are usually scattered around. It's not like all of the best tickets will be gone right away.

ETA, Ticketmaster is now showing $220/$120 and $45

I've heard Elton John and Billy Joel do shows together sometimes, that would be really awesome but it doesn't look like this is it. Might buy tickets for Elton John definitely buying tickets for Foo Fighters forgot about the pre-sales I was just going to look on Friday at work

Yeah I think Elton and Billy are done with their combined shows.
