The Menominee Nation Arena will be a 64,300 sq ft (5,970 m2) indoor arena located in Oshkosh, in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The facility will primarily be used for basketball, and will serve as the home of the Wisconsin Herd of the NBA G League, which will serve as the affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association.
Located along the east side of South Main Street, on the former site of the Buckstaff Furniture Company. With a seating capacity of 3,500 spectators, the new arena broke ground on March 29, 2017, with completion slated for the fall.
On January 25, 2017, the Oshkosh City Council unanimously approved the construction of the $15 million facility. The cost of the construction will be privately funded, with the arena being part of a larger development plan for a new housing and commercial area called the Sawdust District, located near Pioneer Drive Park along the shores of Lake Winnebago. On June 13, 2017, the Oshkosh City Council announced that the arena was to receive an additional $250,000 in state supported funding for improvement of the nearby roadways and infrastructures to improve transit to the facility.
On October 23, 2017, the Menominee Native American tribe announced that they had purchased the naming rights to the arena, giving it the Menominee Nation Arena name. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
