MILWAUKEE -- The grand opening of the new Milwaukee Bucks arena is only months away -- and now the new arena needs a new staff to make it function. 

Roughly 1,200 employees will be needed next season at the new arena.  The Milwaukee Bucks will be hiring half of those positions -- the other half will be hired and managed by Levy Restaurants 

The Milwaukee Bucks will host a job fair on June 20 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Wisconsin Center District to fill about 600 jobs they manage. Those jobs include: ushers, customer service representatives, ticket takers, retail staff, and security. All part-time jobs start at $12.50/hour.

"We're expecting a high volume coming through," Kauffman said. 

Kauffman also stressed the importance of having a customer service background.

"We want people to be wowed by the experience that they have here."
