there is no way that franchise is worth 500+ mill

i think they might move it to another city in future if it keeps being in loss. new owners have no state ties. i think they would move the team given that city is not ready to pay for the new arena.

I hope they keep the name. Bucks is a perfect name for a Wisconsin team.

I haven't had the time to look into the deal, but I'm under the impression part of that 500+ million will be going towards a new stadium so the tax payers don't have to foot the entire bill.

I hope they get a good owner, one that wants to build a winning franchise.

The city will not doubt finance a huge portion of the new stadium. It is a reality of how the major sports operate in US cities and they still have the option of picking up an moving. Eventually they will just play that card until the citizens of Milwaukee put enough pressure on the city to finance a new stadium. Kind of ****ed up that sports owner operate a business where almost all of their capital costs get a government subsidy but that is just the way it works.
