Kohl bullish on rebuilding Bucks, backs new arena

Herb Kohl, about to begin his 25th season as the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, is a realist about the state of the franchise, its place in the National Basketball Association and the future of the Bradley Center. As with most teams in the NBA and in sports, the recession has taken a toll on the team's bottom line. Kohl expects revenue will drop this season. "Our summer selling season was down from last year," Wisconsin's senior Democratic U.S. senator said. "But it's also accurate to say we're not singular in the NBA in that respect."
