Arena roof work, upcoming concerts

Well, things are slowing down here a little as summer approaches. But work is heating up on the roof of the Brown County Arena. If you happen to drive by, you may have noticed a big crane next to the arena. It will be used to completely replace the roof - which has been leaking for some time even after it was repaired less than two years ago. Why fix it and not tear it down? Because the arena is still a very viable building for us and is needed for many shows that we do including the WBAY Boat Show, Home & Garden Show and RV & Camping Show. Many others like World of Wheels, the Shrine Circus and others depend on its availability every year.

PMI announced Godsmack will be playing at the Leach Amphitheater in Oshkosh on July 21. A neat side story with that.....we will have a contest called the Wisconsin Rock War to determine who will open for Godsmack. Local bands will be able to enter a competition and the winner opens for Godsmack. More details on that in this space next time. It was also announced that Nashville Star Tour will be at the Leach on August 24....that's the country music version of American Idol. More announcements for the Leach are coming.

At the Resch, Josh Groban is selling very well, Keith Urban is still on sale and Hinder is on tap next Tuesday, May 8. Other announcements are coming soon. Suddenly the usual slow summer at the Resch will be busier than usual. As I've mentioned before, Team USA will play Japan in Volleyball June 1 & 2 at the Resch. And the Green Bay Blizzard have been drawing very well in their first few home games. Until next time - see you in the seats!
