MECCA Arena
Where art and sports meet. In 1977, the town of Milwaukee hired pop artist Robert Indiana to paint a basketball court for the Milwaukee Bucks's home arena (where they played from 1968 to 1988.) Indiana used the court as his canvas to create the World's Largest Pop Art Painting. A bright yellow court featured the words "MECCA," the arena's name, painted so largely that TV cameras could not miss it. It was thus dubbed the "floor that made Milwaukee famous." In 2017, the Milwaukee Bucks re-created Indiana's floor for their return to the MECCA arena.
