What would make DePaul's place even better would be to bring back the old logo.



And the old uniforms.  Gotta tuck them in though.

One of the Best Logos and should be Brought back.

To me it looks like the demon is dropping a deuce.

Total bullcrap. I was there last night and the lower bowl was packed. Upper bowl decently attended.

Wow, well then he must have photoshopped the hell out of the picture from last night, then. 

Must have taken hours to remove all the people!

NO SUCH THING AS A LATE ARIVING CROWD ON A FRIDAY!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

This one too while we are at it.

Man I completely forgot about Demon Dogs. Used to love that place. Sad day when that closed down.

That and Peppe's

Ya that's first quarter. The bucks have 3 points.

The amount of MU games I've been to where half the crowd shows up 5-10 min into the first half...

[cheebs09]

Big crowd tonight. Much bigger than any non-NMD/Creighton game this year.

I  was going to say that the Blue Demon pees like a girl.

Great wen ya talk like a drunken sailor, hey?

I think the Bucks could become a winning program. Giannis is a fantastic player, and probably one of the few guys that might actually stay in Milwaukee for his career. The Bucks did a ton of stuff behind the scenes that really endeared them to him before he even played a minute for Milwaukee, and the new ownership group seems willing to spend, if the money they paid for Monroe and the arena are any indicator. The NBA has seen success from franchises in markets outside the mass media markets in recent years, just look at Cleveland and San Antonio.

The Bucks understood the value of the Antenkompou family.  Hope they get rewarded with a championship .

Technology to the Demon's rescue.

The new arena must not be getting the green seats anymore.

[mu_hilltopper]

New stadium .. a couple thoughts.

First .. the upper deck is half the size of the BC.  Looks like 12 rows instead of 25.

Second .. as I checked out "my" seats with the 3d look-around .. welp, it looks like a stadium, not that much different than the BC.  I'm sure the seats are nicer, the jumbotron jumboier, etc.

Ok, that's pretty cool. Definitely prefer the black seats to the green as well

Foxconn Center.  Book it baby.

[Benny B]

The last 10 rows in the lower bowl look like they'll be further from the court than the first few rows of the upper deck in the BC.  That said, I have to admit they did a great job of packing in as much seating as close to the floor as possible, and that's going to make for some great atmosphere.

Foxconn Center.  Book it baby.

Is that part of the $3B in corporate welfare the state awarded them?

Thanks so very much for bringing politics into this.

Politics?  Did I say how I felt about the corporate welfare involved?  (I think it's fine.)

[jsglow]

You used the word 'corporate welfare', a completely politically loaded term and you know it.  You do understand that this project is supported by the ENTIRE Wisconsin congressional delegation, yes? 

Sometimes silence is golden Suntan.  Oh, I forgot 21,950 posts.  Let's both hope Foxconn decides to be a wonderful new corporate citizen and approaches the Arena Board with a nice naming rights offer; a perfectly reasonable goal that will enhance the economics for the facility that will house your favorite team.  And let's just leave it at that.  Miller and Harley can't pay for everything in Wisconsin. Have an awesome evening.

Grab a fainting couch glow. And have chick give you a message...or something. You seem stressed.

they are investing $10 billion, creating up to 13,000 jobs at average annual salary of $55k plus bennies.  with those kinds of jobs, they might even buy MU tix, eyn'er?

I took a tour of the arena last week.  It feels much smaller than the BC and that's with just standing on a concrete floor and no seats in place.   The top row of the new arena is 30 feet below the top of the BC.  Every seats feel like it's on top of the action.  Honestly it was better than I expected and the Panorama Club (open to all ticket holders each game) will be very, very cool.
