Wasn't able to get a picture of it, but the screens inside the arena said "Welcome to UWM-Milwaukee Panther Arena."
Talk about your all time lows...

ESPN.com lists the Brewer's first spring training opponent as U of Milwaukee.... Love the way it looks!

The PBS debate mentioned us as both the University of Wisconsin IN Milwaukee and just the University of Wisconsin.
How much you wanna bet a large number of people watching thought Bucky hosted the debate?

Currently, Milwaukee radio station 94.5 FM is running an ad promoting the upcoming Alan Jackson concert.... at "the UW Panther Arena". It airs constantly.
Good job, Mark Mone (and fellow brain dead bureaucrats) who fought against naming the arena the Milwaukee Panther Arena.

I heard someone on TV say it about the Admirals move from the Bradley Center.

So I turn on my TV after work to watch the NCAA Division I Track & Field championships in anticipation of seeing one of the greatest athletes in school history, and just before they race starts, a graphic appears on the screen listing all 8 competitors in this Heat, and their school.
Lane 1 Nate Pozolinski WIS-Milwakee
Here is the email I sent to every person in the A.D., Mark Mone, and many in the local sports media...
On the biggest stage, on national TV, on an ESPN network, one of the greatest athletes in school history has to be listed as competing for WIS-Milwakee. Yes, Milwakee.
Had the ESPN TV crew not been so concerned about how to abbreviate and hyphenate our name, I have a strong suspicion they would have spelled Milwaukee correctly.
This is not an isolated incident. Other NCAA D-I institutions of similar conference stature (UNC-Charlotte) have dealt with, and rectified, this same issue.
I do know we have fine folks inside our A.D. who very much wish to rectify this issue, once and for all. Yet, the problem persists year after year. Which begs the ultimate question: is there a reason this issue is being ignored, or is going unaddressed at some level of our university's administration?
Please, let's not prove the PU'ers right regarding incompetence inside this university's administration.
As a longtime athletics booster, I would like to know what is being done to address this recurring issue. Thank you.

And the beat goes on...
I'm personally convinced nothing will change permanently for us unless the university as a whole adopts the "University of Milwaukee" brand a la Buffalo.
Those keeping score will remember that recently the University at Buffalo decided to use SUNY branding in their athletics program, but I'll argue that there is no higher "SUNY" school. It's not like people see "SUNY" and automatically think "Binghamton" in the same way as people see "UW" and think "Bucky."
Madison is a city that has always and will always exist to serve the university. Milwaukee is a university that has always and will always exist to serve the city. That's always been central to me in adopting that brand for the whole university.
