Rainbow M's?

[edit]

"It is also known for its former unique basketball court painted by Robert Indiana in 1978, with large rainbow 'M's taking up both half-courts representing Milwaukee."

IIRC, the "M"s were more conventionally shaped, much like a printed capital "M" (rather than a curved McDonald's "M", for example), with the base of each letter on the baseline. Further, each M was colored yellow, not multicolored as one would expect from something described as a "rainbow "M". However, with the colored free-throw lanes that were also used, it was a bit difficult to see that the letters were in fact giant "M"s, at least for most televised games. 4.243.152.25 01:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:USCellularArenaLogo.gif

[edit]

Image:USCellularArenaLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed list

[edit]

I've removed the following unsourced, seemingly indiscriminate list of musical artists who have performed here since the 1960s:

Extended content

Is it agreed that it's a little bit much to include all this? AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 02:13, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable info?

[edit]

This article makes a lot of claims that aren't backed up by anything -- e.g. the Steve Austin "Austin 3:16" bit. 71.55.140.226 (talk) 21:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Marquette womens basketball

[edit]

The Marquette women's team played there many years until the opening of the Al McGuire Center on campus. (I personally played in the M.U. Band 1998-2002.) I don't know the official beginning and end years or I would add a mention myself. Can anyone verify? --"BigMal" / 198.151.8.4 (talk) 15:36, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a picture of the interior of the arena, dated when Abdul-Jabbar played for Milwaukee. In the picture, on the scoreboard it clearly reads "Daktronics". In the article, it is stated the builder of the board is "Trans-Lux". Maybe for a later board, but not the original. I will post the picture in the next few days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Potter54904 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
