The Milwaukee Bucks and the BMO Harris Bradley Center have reached agreement on a six-year lease that runs through Sept. 30, 2017.

The Bucks do not pay rent at the facility.

“This is a good agreement that provides stability for both sides as the community decides its future,” U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), the owner of the Bucks, said in a statement. “We are pleased to have this lease in place and put 100% of our focus on an exciting 2012-13 NBA season.”

The arena first opened in 1988.
