Re: Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center (NEW ARENA) Thread
As far as Good City, I'm happy with that choice. There are other local brewers I would have liked as well, it's interesting they went with the relative upstart, it's only been around a couple of years. I was just hoping it wasn't Miller or Bud.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It will be interesting to see what that memorabilia goes for

I can only imagine his role when his dad takes over as Governor next year.
It's quite possible he was joking around when he said that.
I'm sure he was, and I don't begrudge him an ability to joke around or to be a man about town at all. I do begrudge him for his petulance, and in what capacity are you not 'private citizen Lasry?' Makes it sound like he changes into decorated military garb as he prepares for his next scouting trip.

Again, without hearing/see him you have no idea if he was being petulant. Similar to sarcasm on a message board.
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.
Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Well he WAS on TV so we did see and hear him. I did at least. This wasn't a Twitter thing. That's why I posted about it in the first place. And noted it was Channel 12

What's more likely, Lasry joking around or just being a douche. I know my answer.

So where were all these things kept all these years? Were they displayed in some suites? Or oin storage?
Will they be selling any parts of the BC like they did County Stadium? I call dibs on a urinal!

They have to wait for the Northwestern Mutual event in July to be over before they can really start getting rid of stuff. This stuff was mostly either in the main lobbies or in the suite rooms/hallways.

You have to wonder if anyone related to the Bucks, or the Bucks, are financially involved with Good City. Not that it's a big deal or anything, just interesting as you said.

Then I must not pay attention well enough. I don't think I've ever seen any music memorabilia in any of the lobbies. And I've been to hundreds of games.

Terrible job of labeling what is in those lots. Also, on page 5 they have a photo of Middleton up for bidding that they list as a photo of Michael Redd. It's not even in the old uniform. Embarrassing. Second best player on the current roster.

I blame Alex Lasry

there is one item without any picture on one of the last pages, that just says variety of yearly team yearbooks.

Re: Wisconsin Entertainment and Sports Center (NEW ARENA) Thread
Toured the arena yesterday, was very impressed tho we weren't able to see much due to ongoing construction.
-Open concept is much needed
-Don't think there will be a bad seat in the house, even uppers look good.
-Tons of great views for standing room only to watch the game
-A bunch of TVs and bar areas, if you're not interested in the game/concert it's still a great place to just hang out- think Miller Park
-Video board is huge
-Suite level is pretty incredible, makes the BC Suites look like a joke
-we didn't get to view inside but the panaroma club is going to be a huge hit
-Skywalk leads into the main concourse area, not the suite level.

So did all season ticket holders get a chance to see the new arena this Saturday? Because my new guy failed to contact me yet again.

Even though the tour was limited, my impression was the new arena is much more of a comfortable, intimate theater than a utilitarian gymnasium. It almost seems you'd be able to reach out and touch the performers. You'll practically be part of an experience rather than a distant observer. And, you won't be crammed into economy-class seating, either. Light-years ahead of what was, in many ways.

The Panorama Club is cool I guess. It's not a good view if you actually want to watch the game/concert. And I can not for the life of me understand how that that exterior railing is code. Some drunk guy is going to fall off that thing and die. Probably dramatic, but I couldn't believe that when I saw it. All the railing seem incredibly dangerous to me in that place.
