Construction on new Milwaukee Bucks arena is almost halfway finished

 

The new Milwaukee Bucks Arena is coming along with work almost halfway done.

It's set to open in time for the 2018-19 season and will replace the current home, the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

"You've seen drywall go up, you see some of the glass go up. Next week the zinc exterior will start the skin of the building. Pouring all the emphasis on getting the inside done. Part of this team and part of this project is how do we ingrain it into the fabric of Wisconsin, so if people really feel part of and they're actually touching and feeling it, then that's the way you do it."

They're going to keep working on this arena, they expect to have the roof closed by Thanksgiving, just in time for our Wisconsin winters.
