I didn't realize Gil's Arena host was Marques' son (Josiah).

Re: Bucks Media Thread (Discussion of Bucks & Sports Media)
For those walking the street next to Mecca, you've seen the Wisconsin Sports Hall of Fame plaques. I always enjoy stopping and looking at some of the names from the past.
Two updates (one good and one bad) per the:
https://biztimes.com/wisconsin-athletic-hall-of-fame-walkway-upgrades-could-be-complete-in-time-for-rnc/
The good: They are putting up a giant media board to run clips, highlights, etc.
The bad: They are getting rid of doing the bronze busts because reasons. So when Giannis gets on there, he'll be a video screen. Personally I love those plaques. Gives a sense of permanence and history IMO.

Founded in 1951, the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame stopped adding bronze plaques for inductees a few years ago because space was running low to display them, they are extremely heavy (weighing 250 to 400 pounds each), some have been degraded by years and the elements, and today’s fans prefer to engage with modern forms of media, Lammi said.
“We felt more interactive, interview-focused videos or backlit images on stationary boards would be a better way to celebrate inductees moving forward,” Lammi said. “We just don’t think continuing to place these bronze plaques, which people aren’t necessarily paying a lot of attention to, was the best way to tell the story for these inductees.”

Ridiculous. The plaques are cool. If you have to have some video boards so be it but keep the plaques. And there aren't alternatives that look that same that don't weigh 250-400? Come on now.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Yep. No reason they can't keep doing the plaques. It must be a cost situation, disguised as "the people wanted just a video screen"
