Gothamite Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Court Patch for NBA Live 2004. Very cool.I'd love to see that old floor be brought back in some form. I had no idea that Robert Indiana designed it, although now knowing that his signature is obvious. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

DrBear Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 RE: A Bucks move.Entirely possible. They'll be missed by fans and the corporations who buy tickets, but that's about all. The Bucks have done nothing to promote themselves outside Milwaukee (they play one exhibition in Green Bay and one in La Crosse now; even in the Abdul-Jabbar days they used to play regularly in Madison, and you don't see any advertising outside Milwaukee). NBA basketball is the worst value in sports - extremely high prices for the shortest game of the big three sports. And Milwaukee doesn't have that strong an economy and has lost some corporate headquarters, so the season ticket market has holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 An update on the Bucks from www.jsonline.com:Bucks sign new lease with Bradley CenterThe Bradley Center and the Milwaukee Bucks today announced they had reached agreement on a new lease. The lease covers the 2005-'06 season, the 2006-'07 season and an option year.Bradley Center officials said they expect to exercise the option for a third year. According to Bradley Center officials, financial terms of the lease, which must be approved by the NBA, remain largely unchanged from previous lease agreements.(A lease that covers LAST year?)

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think if the Sonics can be moved, no NBA team outside of the Knicks and Lakers is safe. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazz013 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Since this turned into another logo discusion, I thought I would continue it.The Bucks wordmarks have been fixed somewhat, but there are still some problems. The primary hasn't been touched at all.http://tazz013.googlepages.com/MBdark.jpghttp://tazz013.googlepages.com/MBlight.jpg Save the slugalo.

ShinyHubCaps Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I believe that the team will go through an arena switch for the sake of the Marquette Golden Eagles and the posterity of the state of Wisconsin moreso than for the sake of the Bucks. No offense, but your statement has no basis in reality. Marquette's doing fine, and I'm not sure what the "posterity of the state of Wisconsin" is supposed to mean in this case. A new arena is needed to give the Bucks additional streams of revenue (naming rights, club seats, more suites, more retail space, etc.). That's really the only reason it's needed. The way everyone says that the arena is in such terrible condition (which means by NBA standards), they make it sound like it's falling apart. I'm saying that to convince the public into allowing the building of a new stadium, they could also say that it will be a new stadium for Marquette, which is a higher draw than the Bucks right now anyway.As for the other thing I said, the posterity for the state of Wisconsin is so that the state of Wisconsin can continue to have an NBA team. Some areas take for granted the fact that they have multiple NBA or MLB or NFL teams, but for the fans we have here, it is important that the Bucks stay, considering that they are the only NBA team in the state. I think that they would, therefore, cope with the building of a new arena if it were deemed absolutely necessary.I know I don't speak for everyone, especially because the Bucks fall behind the Packers, the Badgers football, the Brewers, Marquette basketball, and possibly others (Badgers hockey on the rise?) in the popularity among fans. But I remain optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecticbro Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 And I'd bet the Bucks' ticket prices are higher as well, so ticket revenue would be an even higher percentage larger.Are the Bucks really considering leaving town? If the Sonics leave Seattle and the Blazers go fill the vacancy up there, I guess I wouldn't mind seeing the Bucks head to Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamcz Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It sure sucks that tax payers are asked to shoulder some of the costs of the business. When you own a business with more than $100 million of yearly revenue, you should be responsible for the cost of your building. What kind of business overpays their employees to the point that they can't cover their other expenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well relative with college attendances, I would expect to see the Bucks have higher attendance rates. I didn't look into the actual figures, I just find that people here are more proud to be a Marquette fan. Plus the fact that they have been developing good players and getting winning records, I see the Golden Eagles developing in ways that the Bucks are not.I didn't mean anything by it in terms of attendance (and certainly not by TV ratings), but I still think there is more than the actual crowds they draw. And I don't know what facts I could provide for that, sorry, it was more opinionated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 It sure sucks that tax payers are asked to shoulder some of the costs of the business. When you own a business with more than $100 million of yearly revenue, you should be responsible for the cost of your building. What kind of business overpays their employees to the point that they can't cover their other expenses? The Bucks (and every other pro team) would say that their presence benefits Milwaukee. People come to games and spend money in the city, not to mention the taxes that the city/county/state collect on tickets/merch/etc. This isn't really my opinion, in fact I recently read a study on pro sports teams that said they have no positive, financial impact on their home cities. But that's the card they'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Man, I really gotta get me a life... I dunno man. GamePlan lost all credibility to me when they put out those crappy Charlotte Bobcats logos and unis. Whoever designed those shouldve been fired on the spot and committed for being such an idiot.
