Neither Lew Alcindor nor Oscar Robertson are walking through that door. The Milwaukee Bucks announced on Tuesday that a nationally televised on TNT against the Boston Celtics on Thursday, October 26th at 7:00 p.m. will be dubbed the “Return to the MECCA” game.
In celebration of the team’s 50th Anniversary, the Bucks will “Return to the MECCA” to play a regular season game at UW-Milwaukee, where the Bucks called home from their inaugural season in 1968 until 1988.
Bucks officials also unveiled its Classic Edition uniform to be worn for the “Return to the Mecca” game and selected other dates throughout the season.
“Return to the MECCA” will be the first time the Bucks have hosted a regular season home game off-site in Wisconsin since they played three regular season home games in Madison during the 1974-75 season.
