On the main concourse, a gleaming stainless steel concession counter stretches more than 70 feetBUCKS
The Bucks' new arena is "scheduled to open in late summer," and the interior looks "remarkably close to being able to accommodate thousands of fans," according to James Nelson of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Mortenson Construction Senior Marketing Manager Bridget Kraus said that work on the venue is "88% complete and there are about 550 workers on the site." On the main concourse, a "gleaming stainless steel concession counter stretches more than 70 feet." The Bucks "promise that fans will be able to get their food and drink swiftly thanks to state of the art equipment in the arena's kitchens and the ability to cook in the concession stands." There are "stand-up tables and drink rails in place," and bathroom signs "have been hung." Also, near the skywalk to the new 1,000-car parking garage is a "glass-walled store that's ready to be filled with Bucks jerseys and other fan attire." Kraus said, "The big push on the exterior is finishing the east and south enclosure facades and ramping up with site work and landscaping here later this month" (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 3/23).
