The Bradley Center is home of the Milwaukee Bucks, Admirals, and Marquette Golden Eagles. It opened in 1988, in time for the Milwaukee Bucks regular season of that same year. The venue was given as a gift to the city by the locally famous Pettit family, and is owned by the state of Wisconsin.
Most times, the venue will hold over 18,000 fans. When a concert is performed there, the capacity is close to 20,000. The Bradley Center resides on the same square block as the U.S. Cellular Arena and Milwaukee Theater. On any given night, the neighborhood is teeming with fans eager to see a band, team, or theatrical production.
The Bradley Center calendar is active and open for business over 130 days per year. In those 130 days there are situations where Marquette will play in the afternoon, and the Milwaukee Bucks will play that evening. The turnaround time from one event to the next can take place in under four hours.
There have been a few renovations in the past twenty years. The Bradley Center is still considered to be a viable venue for NBA basketball, but a major renovation might be in order in the next ten years. Herb Kohl, owner of the Milwaukee Bucks would rather see his team playing in a brand new venue, rather than have the old Bradley Center spruced up.
