MU Dome

[PBRme]

Anybody else hate seeing MU and dome in the same sentence.

Other than MU crushes Dome(rs)

Apparently you've never been to Art's.

Classy establishment that. Granted, nothing compares to Rickys on State.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

i'm sure you only heard this was/is the popular call out when ricky rings the bell...at least that's i've heard anyway   something about doubling your bubble?

[tower912]

IIRC, while I was in school, it was advertised as 'Hey, hey Rickie's on State'.  I was unaware of the back story.

Does this mean the sports complex being planned dead?

Absolutely not.

The article specifically says this is going to be used while we complete planning/fundraising for the new athletic research/performance complex.

Which is going to take longer than expected, heard from a vertical construction GC that's taken quite the hit lately.

The much awaited, highly anticipated Benny B Thunderdome!!!

Well... you'll definitely hear the thunder outside in that thing.  Looks more like a thunder bubble.  A great big soft bubble.


Anyone else see this thing and start thinking how much you'd like a SuperChexx for Christmas?

USSR v. USA?

USSR v. USA?

Damn straight. 

I think the original had "USSR" on the cabinet and scoreboard, but I think the figures had CCCP on their jerseys.  That's the one I want... the full commie version.

Cool! Finally getting a football team and joining the B1G hey!

[Brewtown Andy]

Y'all complaining about what it looks like......

You know that the picture in the original post isn't even a picture of Valley Fields with the bubble mocked up into it, right?

It's literally a "kinda like this" picture of a bubble somewhere else with a MU added to it.

I would add — beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

From the opinions I've heard and read, I'm among a minority who appreciate The Calling (the big orange I-beam sculpture at the east end of Wisconsin Avenue) as a work of art. To me, its bright color and form suggest an abstract sunrise — which, along with its dynamic angles and rugged construction, serves as an optimistic symbol for Milwaukee.

Others think it's just plain ugly. Or a giant waste of money. Or both.

the orange sun is probably the dumbest piece of outdoor art i have ever seen.  not to mention it blocks the calatrava, which is among the best.

and your arguments about the dome are similarly misguided.

Look at that nice, juicy piece of bait. So tempting. It's just sitting there, almost irresistible, waiting to be taken...

Sorry, not this time.

I prefer to focus and comment on things I care about like Marquette basketball (which is what this forum is intended for IIRC).

at first glance, it looks like the old roof-topper from the now extinct I94 in the Kenosha area business.  a'ina.
