The Bradley Center Sports & Entertainment Corp. wanted to borrow $10 million to help maintain and renovate the aging facility.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison wanted to borrow $49.2 million for a new $76.8 million Athletic Department building that would also house parts of the College of Engineering and a sports medicine clinic run by the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics.
In his capital budget, Gov. Scott Walker said no to the Bradley Center and yes to the University of Wisconsin. Both are state facilities.
