    It wasn't "public outcry", it was "Badgers outcry". The only people complaining were those that follow the Badger message boards...But you are exactly right.

    Anybody else find it odd that the Admirals are pumping in more that UWM is for the naming rights?

    No, not at all. Rent is way more for UWM. The Admirals are putting in 2 million, which is acting like a gift for their team and other events to improve the fan experience.

    The naming rights took place in 2014, if you started doing the naming rights today, the price tag might be a bit higher.

    I think because the WCD needs to upgrade the facility to again have ice, which I'd bet will cost a few bucks.

    They have had ice. They just had Skate America (figure skating) this past October that NBC was in town for.

    So despite not having a hockey team they maintained all the ability to have or make ice under the basketball court? I thought for some reason the ice making and maintaining functionality was no longer at the Arena. Well that is one cost they won't have to worry about.
