Kohl Says Team Needs New
Arena For Future Generations |
Bucks Owner Herb Kohl at the team's annual tip-off luncheon yesterday said that a "long-term solution to the team's arena needs will be required, or as he put it, 'a home for the next generation,'" according to Charles Gardner of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Kohl "admitted the team needs some positive publicity as it ponders its future in Milwaukee and the possibility of a new arena in the future." Kohl said, "The Bradley Center issue will begin to surface more and more, in terms of when are we going to get Bradley Center II. When is that next building going to go up to ensure that the Bucks will be here for another generation? It's real; it's an issue. Now it's not a burning issue, because no one is suggesting we're leaving. That's not true. But it's an issue that needs to be addressed, and playing good basketball and winning games has a lot to do with addressing it successfully." Kohl "acknowledged the slumping economy makes it a difficult time to think about a new arena for the Bucks." Kohl: "No one is saying we need to start thinking about it today. This is a tough economy and people are hurting. Nobody is thinking about public funds or even private funds with so many companies hurting at the moment. ... When it's proper, we need to take a look at it to make sure the team stays here" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 10/23).
