State of Wisconsin
Bradley Center Sports and Entertainment Corporation
January 11, 1995
The Honorable, The Senate:
I am pleased to enclose the audited financial statements for the Bradley Center Sports and Entertainment Corp., fiscal year 1993-94. You will note the Center's sixth year of operation continued the extraordinary success that has been a hallmark of this facility since it opened in October of 1988. In reviewing the financial statements, it may be helpful if I provide here certain points of context that may not be reflected in the numbers alone:
Support of Wisconsin sports teams
The Center is home for five teams -- twice the norm for a major arena. These are the Milwaukee Admirals, Bucks, Mustangs, Wave and Marquette University. In this respect, we believe the Center is clearly fulfilling the desires of Jane and Lloyd Pettit, who gave this extraordinary gift to the people of Wisconsin in support of Wisconsin sports.
