Fittingly, the BMO Harris Bradley Center — the 27-year-old structure that hosts the Bucks and could be razed within the next sev- eral years — was the host site for the panel discussion. Community organizers and professionals discussed the range of big-picture possibilities that could arise alongside the Bucks' need for a new stadium to comply with NBA requirements. Several hundred people attended the forum. "This is quite an opportunity, but it's also quite a responsibili- ty," said architect Greg Uhen, the CEO and design partner with Eppstein Uhen Architects, the local company brought into the fold to design some of the entertainment district's compo- nents. That opportunity, however, will not be realized unless the perfect blend of financing options comes together.
