The arts. Sports. Oftentimes, they are thought of as in opposition to each other, but the pursuit of arts and sports have a lot of overlap. One remarkable local "artist" in the field of soccer and coaching was the late Jimmy Banks. Banks was a trailblazing Milwaukeean who was discovered in his young teens, playing pick-up soccer outside the Westlawn housing project where he grew up. He went on to play professionally for the Milwaukee Wave, and then for the U.S. Men's Soccer team—where he was a starting player in the 1990 World Cup. His ascendant career was followed by a whole other career—as a leader, coach, and mentor in the Milwaukee community to young players of diverse backgrounds, including the MSOE Men's soccer team and leading the Simba Soccer Club. Banks passed away in 2019, but his impactful legacy lives on. To commemorate his work, values, and spirit, Milwaukee Public School's Custer Stadium, where he played as a school kid, has been renamed the Jimmy Banks Memorial Stadium. Now, a mural celebrating Jimmy Banks will be added to the facility. Community artist, Tia Richardson, who will be leading the artistic arm of the project, and Banks' son Jordan Banks—who is himself a soccer player, coach, and educator—joined Elisabeth for a conversation about the mural project, which is seeking support. In the conversation, they speak about the importance of representation for young Black kids growing up in Milwaukee, youth development, and the value of creativity, public art, and the many rich connections that exist between art making and sports—which both foster self-exploration, collaboration, relationship-building, and skill development. Richardson and Banks hope that the spirit of the mural will inspire youth who play on the Jimmy Banks Memorial Stadium field for generations will see the mural, think of Banks and what he accomplished, and expand their own concepts of themselves and the positive impact they can have within their communities. You can support the work and learn more at Friends of Jimmy Banks Memorial Stadium's website. Check out Tia Richardson's artwork and follow her on Instagram at Cosmic Butterfly Design.

Erik Bergrud from the Kansas City Comets broadcast team and Thad Bell from The Blue Testament have another episode of The Blue Turf. It was another busy two-game weekend for the Kansas City Comets. In our last episode, Erik made the case that the Comets needed a full six points from these two games. (It did not happen). After taking a 4-1 lead in St. Louis, the Ambush came back and tied it up with less than a second left. The Comets lost in overtime but at least earned another point on the road. Some fans expressed a certain level of discontent that Coach Gibson did not take a full-strength squad across the state. We discuss that travel roster, which players played well there, and more. After the St. Louis match, the Comets drove home to meet the Milwaukee Wave. The visitors arrived early in the morning and did not bring their full-strength lineup after playing the night before as well. The score was level at the half but the Comets poured it on in the second half scoring in the double digits. There was a scary minute when James Togbah had to be stretchered off and taken to the hospital. We give the latest that we know about Togbah. The Comets wanted to win one for Togbah. Four goals by the coach, goals from a few players that needed to get back on track led to the win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nascido em Niterói, Daniel jogou na quadras e nos campos durante sua base. Tendo passado pelo Tio Sam no futsal, acabou jogando nos gramados com o Fluminense e depois com o Goiás, quando participou de um amistoso despretensioso durante um longo feriado fora do Centro Oeste. Esse jogo acabou abrindo portas para se tornar um estudante-atleta na Penn State, ainda no começo dos anos 2000. Com perspectivas totalmente distintas que surgiam e de bolsa integral, Daniel decidia mudar totalmente o rumo e nem chegava a voltar a Goiás. Surgia então a trajetória do atleta e estudante de Business. Ao terminar os estudos, estava certo de que a carreira seria longe da bola, mas pouco tempo depois se viu treinando times de jovens em campos pelo país. Em uma terra com futebol crescendo muito e com empreendedorismo enraizado na cultura local, Daniel viu a chance de jogar Indoor Soccer, além de treinar e ter o próprio projeto de futsal para os jovens no meio oeste americano. As circunstâncias da vida o fizeram descobrir também uma chance de jogar pela Seleção de Futsal pouco antes da Copa de 2016. Sem ter a vaga obtida para o mundial daquele ano, a vida parecia seguir no projeto da Academy de Futsal e na MASL (Major Arena Soccer League). Na pandemia, no entanto, mesmo longe das quadras, Daniel foi lembrado pelo trabalho feito com a seleção e acabou reintegrando o projeto para ir à Copa na Lituânia. E o projeto foi bem sucedido, fazendo com que a vaga obtida se transformasse em algo maior pela US Soccer para o próximo ciclo. Morando agora na Grande Milwaukee, Daniel Martini Mattos conta um pouco de sua trajetória pioneira no futebol universitário e todos os seus projetos no país que vai ter a Copa do Mundo FIFA 2026, incluindo a volta à MASL com o Milwaukee Wave. #danielmattos #milwaukeewave #futsal

Milwaukee ranks #30 in population among U.S. cities, yet is home to four professional sports teams – the Milwaukee Bucks, Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers (Green Bay is not a TV-metered market) and Milwaukee Wave arena soccer. That’s a lot of pro sports in a city with a population of almost 1.6 million. But there’s also a fifth team, the Milwaukee Admirals, a professional hockey team for the American Hockey League and an NHL farm team for the Nashville Predators. On this episode, Milwaukee Admirals President tells us how the team competes in a medium-sized market with so many pro teams. Jon Greenberg Jon Greenberg has been president of the Milwaukee Admirals for 14 years. He previously worked for the Milwaukee Brewers for 22 years, starting as a bat boy and working his way up to media relations director. Milwaukee Admirals Owner Harris Turer offered Greenberg the role of president and a blank canvas to build the organization and lead the marketing, PR and business efforts. Milwaukee Admirals As a member of the American Hockey League (AHL), the Admirals are the equivalent of Triple-A baseball team. They are the farm team for the NHL’s Nashville Predators. When the Predators need a player for any reason, a player from the Admirals is moved up to the NHL. All 31 NHL teams have an AHL farm team, and very soon, Seattle will be added to the roster. Greenberg believes the reason the Admirals can survive in a city full of professional teams is because Wisconsin loves sports, and every sports team has found a place and fan base within the Milwaukee community. The Admirals also keep their ticket prices low and family affordable and make the experience at a game undeniably entertaining. Three years ago, the Admirals decided to make the Panther Arena it's new home. The 9500-seat house is a great size for Admirals hockey. Greenberg says they had their first sold out game last season, and this year, the Admirals introduced the Admirals 365 promotion, a membership for season ticket holders that allows fans to pay for their tickets over 12 months. Creating the Admirals Experience When Greenberg first began building his business team, he gave each employee a copy of Mike Veeck’s book, “Fun is Good.” Greenberg says he may not have any control over the hockey game itself, but when fans come to the Panther Arena, his staff provides entertainment from the beginning of the game to the end. Customer service is key, so this year, Greenberg and his staff have initiated the Admirals Awards, a wooden coin with the inscription, “Thank you for creating a great experience” that is handed out when management finds out about or sees an employee doing something good. The Admirals have a great sponsorship base that allows them to do lots of promotions. Sponsorship is an opportunity for smaller companies to get involved in sports marketing without paying the high price tag of professional sports. Sponsors have lots of opportunities to engage with fans as all 38 games in a season are treated as 38 different shows. The Admirals begin each season with a brainstorming session, where everyone comes up with crazy ideas. Sometimes they get the inspiration for their ideas from other AHL teams, like the Admirals Dog Days, which is also done in San Antonio, or from visiting other Triple-A baseball teams. Greenberg says they also have also a Blue-Ribbon committee of 4 to 5 members, that does not include Greenberg or the Admiral’s owner. The committee’s sole responsibility is coming up with new ideas that might include a “Salute to Candy Corn” or a “Salute to Hot Sauce” just for the fun of it. Its Human Hockey Puck” promotion has been a fan favorite since the Admirals first began and has been tried by many other teams as well. According to Greenberg, the Admiral’s are the gold standard of entertainment in the league. The league’s AHL Fan Appreciation Award, which began in 2008, has been awarded to Greenberg’s team three times. Next year is the Admirals 50th anniversary, and we can only imagine they will be pulling out all stops for this celebration.
