That was the one I heard, though I'm much happier with the remaining names they list as possibilities:

...it still leaves a number of other major names like Kohler, SC Johnson, Milwaukee Tool, Rockwell Automation and Robert W. Baird.

My favorite potential nicknames...

  • The Rock
  • The Toolbox
  • The Bob
  • The Big Johnson
Sorry, Kohler, sounds too much like the Kohl Center. Though hmm...how about The Sink?

Manpower could probably get added to that list.  I think The Manhole would make a pretty good name for a.......you know now that I hear myself saying it in my head, probably best it’s not them.

I doubt it will be Rockwell Automation, but wouldn't it be funny if they did buy the rights and call it the Bradley Center.

If you can't use "Man", the Gloryhole would work.

Manhole already is taken by a bar on the north side of Chicago.

How many times has the current Buck's ownership group said the naming rights purchaser would be announced soon?  Or said that the tenants in the entertainment district would be announced soon?. It seems like they have been on the verge of a naming rights deal a few times, or so they thought or said publicly.  I'd think at this point, it has to be a buyers market for the naming rights, since so many options have said no, or at least said no at the original proposed terms.

Maybe they try to push pressure on some lurkers, by saying they are close to sealing a naming rights deal or maybe they are too sharp of negotiators in the end...?

Some thought it was coming out last Friday. I would think that company would want it's name out their, since concerts are coming out all the time. I believe they are over 10 already.

I was told by a bucks employee that it was done about 3 weeks ago and the lawyers were finalizing the details. I was also told it was Fiserv which was refuted by some local blog, so we'll see, I would certainly expect this guy to know.

A low level Bucks employee told me last week it's done and he / she knows who it is.  I thought about killing the person to find out but have heard Waupun has terrible WiFi and accessing Scoop from the inside is tough so I thought better of it.

I was told that the problem is that they haven't finished installing the dancing poles yet. Once poles are installed Silk Exotic will be revealed with over 100 dancers at time of announcement. This was revealed to me by Russian intelligence sources.

It's definitely not Rockwell.

Any chance Chris Abele buys it and calls it County Stadium?

That tells me that Bucks ownership has no belief that the Bucks will ever win a championship.  A locker room with open wood slats for a ceiling?  If champagne was sprayed up into that, it could NEVER be cleaned.

Perfect. We could nickname it "the Pole Hole."

I know it was teal, but does anyone else find the industrial look of the buck's locker horrible.

Odds this is named before the season? There are multiple posters on here with inside info who said "this is the week" a month ago  :o

I don't like it.  MU's locker room looks much nicer in the pictures.

I'd say it'll probably be more around August.
