Bucks to unveil $500 million stadium plan just north of BC

[4everwarriors]

It's a 3 year building process. So figure play begins with the 2018-19 season. NBA will extend their timeline. There is no movement with te franchise. All criteria will be met in good faith.

2 years is usually enough for a NBA stadium, but you are correct, with the Park East site this will easily go to three years.

Are there environmental issues that need to be addressed with the site?  I always figured that was the reason real estate investors seemed to avoid it like the plaugue.

"Cheaper to keep them" may be accurate, but it isn't the most inspiring slogan ever. Regardless, nice to see the state and city moving forward.

I'm not 100% sure on the numbers, but the soil supposedly needs something like $3 million dollars in cleanup before construction can start. With the arena taking on this cost at park east, the area where the BC currently sits becomes a potentially interesting investment opportunity for anyone who was scared off by the cleanup requirements in park east.

Your numbers are roughly correct.  Basically we are now having to pay for the sins of the city not taking on the cost of soil remediation when the plowed under the Park East freeway.....I would be shocked if they find large amounts of the ooze the create Master Splinter and the Ninja Turtles.

So right and so wrong in many ways.  Tacky, yet effective.  This is Milwaukee, so the word "cheaper" reverberates with many....

The rest of the state, too.

Spot on. It sounds so stupid and lazy, yet somehow is an incisive statement.

It has been mentioned that there are soil issues, but I think that isn't for sure.

Nope, it's for sure.

It's a for sure thing.

The new arena site is not on the Park East land...it's between the Park East and the Bradley Center.  The Park East land is where most of the $500 million of ancillary development (residential, office, hotel, retail, Bucks' practice facility) is being talked about.  The soil shouldn't be a factor for the construction of the arena itself.

+1 Good point.

Gotcha. My mistake.

A mistaken source on MUScoop?  How can that be possible???

Hopefully we don't have to worry about activists and bird-safe glass like the Minnesota Vikings

We're in agreement on this one, at least!

[Galway Eagle]

Wojo and Scholl say support it

I was once in a meeting with Gimbel, Cords and I and Cords gave him an earful that was quite a delight to witness for a young man in my late 20's.

I don't disagree with his frustration and the overall lack of transparency in many of these things, but he's not a guy I would support.

Wow! Now Chicos is name dropping himself in the first person.

He doesn't name drop. He "adds context". LOL

LOL oh man, this is good stuff right here.  I don't ever really name drop, but if at any point anyone ever accuses me of doing so, I really hope I remember this.  "Adds context" is outstanding!
