Bucks unveil new Arena Exterior design

[GOO]

They're really selling this with everything nice and green and people wearing shorts.  Are the Bucks playing in the Finals or did global warming really hit Milwaukee?  Or is this supposed to be a Selena Gomez concert in July?

I think it maybe 70 tomorrow. 60's today.  So, I guess the architects knew something that we didn't

I know the structure immediately north of the new arena is the parking garage. I know the practice facility is the NW structure.  What is the structure immediately north of the parking garage?   More parking?

See the picture in the link below:

It's a staging area for building the parking structure. See the caption to photo #13.

Was driving by bel air tacos in MKE this weekend and realized it's the exact same design as the new arena. Has anyone else thought this?

It was a meme of sorts when the arena renderings were first introduced.

This thing looks like a gigantic chalupa. 

The Chaluparena.

I'm hungry.

Subliminal message that Chicos has been unshackled?

I know this is old but I'm seeing it for the first time - incredible burn!

Tomorrow will certainly be the warmest birthday I've ever had. Honestly not sure it's ever reached 50 in my memory.

Happy birthday brew.  I took my mom to the game last night for her birthday, which is today.

It was definitely a good start to the celebration. Happy birthday to your mom!

....and all that green (inside) looks like the Domers should play there.

One persistent worry, they are figuring out how to build the whole thing above ground because of the water table. Can't help but think that site isn't ideal and that's why it laid dormant so long. Hope they can do enough to shore up the foundation.

i'm not an engineer, so i dunno if this helps or not

But, like most major developments, it begins with a hole in the ground. Actually, several holes.

      "At the arena construction site, a 10-ton weight is repeatedly dropped, punching craters into the Earth's surface. Hundreds of steel rods are being driven into the ground at the site of the arena's parking structure. And, at the basketball team's future training facility, augers are digging deep to create spaces below the surface, which are then filled with rock."
