World class

When is the last time you had a chance to watch a U.S. Olympic team in action right before they left to compete in the most famous games of all? You have that chance at the Resch Center this weekend. Team USA men's volleyball will be in action against Finland as part of World League action. Most of these guys will be on the U.S. men's volleyball team in Beijing for the Olympics later this summer. It is world class volleyball and unlike anything you have seen (unless you were here last year). Serves are 70 mph and the spikes are far beyond that. Games are 7pm both Friday and Saturday nights.

I recently returned from New York City on business where I learned more about the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. Wow, it promises to be an awesome show at the Resch Center on November 11 & 12. We recently changed venues moving it from the Brown County Arena to the Resch. The dates switched slightly too because group sales have been going very well. This show will pretty much be identical to the one shown at Radio City Music Hall in New York during the Christmas season, only perhaps even bigger! It will travel with 30 trucks and includes a live nativity scene. I'll chat more about this as it gets closer, but this will be the largest show ever to move into the Resch as far as number of semi trucks are concerned. Some Rockettes will be coming to Green Bay in September to kick off the public on-sale for tickets.
