Bmo Harris Bradley Center

The BMO Harris Bradley Center (formerly Bradley Center) is home to three sports tenants: Milwaukee Bucks NBA basketball, Marquette University Golden Eagles Men's NCAA division I basketball, and Milwaukee Admirals AHL hockey. The facility hosts an estimated 1.5 million people each year and continues to be the No. 1 top-tier entertainment destination in the Greater Milwaukee Area. The BMO Harris Bradley Center was built through the generosity of the late Jane Bradley Pettit in memory of her father, Harry Lynde Bradley. Bradley was a co-founder and chairman of the Allen-Bradley Company. The BMO Harris Bradley Center is the only major, public assembly facility in North America with construction underwritten through the philanthropy of a single family. Its construction and continuing operation represent a gift to all the people of the state of Wisconsin. Ground breaking for the BMO Harris Bradley Center began in October 1986 and opened in October 1988. The first game played at the BMO Harris Bradley Center (Bradley Center) was the Edmonton Oilers vs. the Chicago Blackhawks on October 1, 1988.
