Over $ 1 million in electrical equipment , luxury suite furniture , and bathroom fixtures from the Bradley Center was donated to the Local 494 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers , the Milwaukee chapter of Habitat for Humanity , and Milwaukee Public Schools . Due to the arena 's close proximity to adjacent buildings , including the new Fiserv Forum , the arena will be deconstructed over a period of nine months . After demolition is complete , the Bucks will own the Bradley Center site for future development . Exterior demolition of the arena is expected to begin in the spring of 2019 , starting at the northwest corner of the structure . Demolition contractors used explosives to cut the steel structure , but not enough to trigger an implosion of the entire arena due to the nearby presences of Turner Hall and the '' Journal Sentinel '' building . On January 13 , 2019 , the roof of the Bradley Center was imploded . The final standing part of the Bradley Center was felled on May 31 , 2019 . Bucks officials state that redevelopment of the Bradley Center site would not start until after the 2020 Democratic National Convention takes place
