NM already publicly said they're not interested.

Except when it gets shortened to the JCC and everyone gets confused.

Harley isn't doing all that great financially, it could be a tough sell to the shareholders. We don't have all that many companies large enough but I hope they find someone local.

I don't imagine Miller would want in.

I know in MN they have Target Field and the Target Center.

You guys want to know something funny? From that interactive seating chart Black Dragon posted and just looking around, not only will the seats be better for basketball but the vast majority of them also look better for hockey compared to the Bradley Center.

I really like the glass as the barrier in the upper deck compared to the rails.

With BMO Harris doubling down to build in Milwaukee, I wouldn't be shocked if they retain naming rights.

What about WE Energies or Aurora Health?

Yeah, I could easily see this being the case.

Northwestern Mutual Arena aka N.W.A.

BMO very well could be it. Although my money is on Art's. I've been a long time contributor.

Something not adding up.

It's a stretch, but include the W in Northwestern and exclude the M in Mutual. I don't know, I'm trying here.

American Family Insurance is a another localish (Madison) company that has been big in sports sponsorships.

The arena inside is a clone of T-Mobile in Vegas, home of the Golden Nights a future NHL team...

As for the actual stadium upgrade the cost will outweigh the reward for me. I would rather have cheap seats and the bc then deal with high prices at the new arena. Except for the corner hockey seats, I don't mind the bc. The side uppers offer a great few to watch the game and the lower sides are obviously good. I'm a short guy so I never thought the seat spacing was a big deal except when trying to grab a beer and sliding but people.

I just hope they carry over the refugee stand. $12 for a smoothie wrap and chips is a hell of a deal in a stadium.

I think you are alone or in the small minority as a basketball fan.

The BC is lame.

First class facilities do make the idea of going to a game more exciting, and more interesting.

The WESC will have superior viewing for practically ANY event over the Bradley Center. Plus, there will be enhanced seating comfort & legroom. The BC has far too many inherent design deficiencies to be viable ongoing. The Petits made a wonderful gift, but compromises made for capacity vs. spectator comfort, and limits in revenue capability versus competing facilities doomed it.

Yeah my money is on BMO retaining the naming rights. The only company I can really see outside of BMO is maybe Kohl's. Johnson Controls with naming rights on an NBA arena doesn't make much sense to me.

They hinted a global partner relationship once before for what ever that is worth
