-====== The Bradley Center ======
-{{ facilities:bradley_center.jpg?300|}}Construction on the Bradley Center began in October 1986 and the building opened in October 1988 at a total cost of $71 million. The first game played at the Bradley Center was the Edmonton Oilers vs. Chicago Blackhawks on October 1, 1988. The Bradley Center is home to three sports tenants: the NBA Milwaukee Bucks, the Marquette [[men's basketball:]] team, and the AHL Milwaukee Admirals. The facility hosts an estimated 2 million people each year and continues to be the No. 1 entertainment destination in Downtown Milwaukee.
-The Bradley Center, home to Marquette Basketball in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was a gift to the people of Milwaukee, from Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Pettit, in memory of the late Jane Bradley Pettit's father, Harry Lynde Bradley. Bradley was a co-founder and chairman of the Allen-Bradley Company. The 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.
