Page "BMO Harris Bradley Center" Paragraph 3

Despite being one of the premier NBA facilities when completed in 1988, the BMO Harris Bradley Center is currently one of the oldest active NBA arenas ( The Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit and ARCO Arena Power Balance Pavilion in Sacramento, California also opened in 1988 ), only behind Madison Square Garden in New York City ( which was renovated in 2011 ), and Oracle Arena in Oakland ( which was significantly remodeled during the mid-1990s ).

The BMO Harris Bradley Center is unique in that it was a gift from a family without any provision for the building's long-term capital needs or annual operating expenses.

While the facility is self-sufficient, the BMO Harris Bradley Center tenants such as the Bucks are at a disadvantage compared with other NBA teams due to the arrangement.
