Milwaukee Bucks Snapshot
April 16, 2014 marked the beginning of a new era for the NBA franchise as ownership was transferred from Senator Kohl to a new ownership group headed by entrepreneurs Marc Lasry and Wes Edens. Shortly thereafter, Jamie Dinan joined as a majority owner, and an impressive assemblage of Milwaukee community leaders also took an ownership stake to infuse the team and city with a new vitality driven by the promise of a next-generation team that remains true to the spirit of the “Brew City.” In addition to an exciting roster of talented players and a Hall of Fame coach, the future off the court is also bright. The organization is in the process of developing a new sports and entertainment complex to serve as the home for the next era of Bucks basketball. The state-of-the-art facility will become an important part of the revitalization of downtown Milwaukee and become integral to the community’s economic future.
