Rainbow M's?

"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)

Named_?

I remember it's name as the MECCA from it's years as a prime NBA & NCAA venue. What was the name of the MECCA/USCelular Arena from 1950-1973? Njbob (talk) 06:21, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

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

Verifiable info?

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)

Marquette womens basketball

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)

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)
