The Milwaukee Bucks unveiled the team's vision for its new multi-purpose arena on Wednesday. The sprawling $1 billion complex is slated to open in 2017. Pictures and a video are provided below.
New owner, new coach, and now - hopefully - a new arena. The team unveiled the concept for the multi-purpose arena it hopes to build in downtown Milwaukee, marking an important step toward first-year owner Marc Lasry's goal of giving his team new digs.
Based on the photos and the video the Bucks released, Milwaukee fans should be excited.
"The images depict early conceptual drawings of a new multi-purpose venue and entertainment district that anchor an ambitious new development vision activated by sports, entertainment, residential and office uses," the Bucks said in a statement. "The proposed site, which primarily sits between Fourth Street and Sixth Street from State Street to McKinley Avenue, will seamlessly link with active development on all sides, including Old World Third Street, Schlitz Park, The Brewery, the Milwaukee riverfront, Water Street and the Wisconsin Center."

Lasry's next step is to get permission from city officials to construct the arena in downtown Milwaukee. The arena could be completed as early as 2017, according to FanSided.
