Want to see KISS at the Resch?

It's not too often fans have the chance to vote where they'd like to see a concert. The band KISS is offering their fans just that. KISS is currently conducting an online vote for which markets they should play for their tour later this year. You can vote to have Green Bay be one of the markets by going to www.eventful.com/kiss. Many people over the years have asked to see KISS at the Resch Center and this just might be the chance to make it happen if the band is serious about the contest and is something more than a publicty stunt. When you go to the site you will be asked some personal info like e-mail address, gender and birth year to ensure there is one vote per person. There is a limited time for this voting so get moving if you want to see KISS here! We would love to have them!

New Kids, new championship

Pretty interesting day around here on Tuesday....as the New Kids On The Block concert is/was on tap. There was a small group of ladies outside of the Resch Center's back entrance waiting for the "Kids" to arrive....that was at 7:30 Tuesday morning! By noon the group grew to around 20 or so and then by late afternoon it was pretty large. These "New Kids" fans are pretty amazing...I know because one of them works in our office!

Pretty special night here on Sunday night as the Gamblers won the Anderson Cup for the first time in more than 10 years. The Anderson Cup goes to the team that wins the regular season USHL championship. Playoffs start Thursday and Saturday at the Resch again Waterloo. It's amazing what this team has accomplished since the start of the season. It's one of the worst to first stories that we hope continues for a few more weeks! The Cup will be displayed in the Resch lobby for the next few playoff games. It's pretty impressive. Just like the Gamblers.

Here we come playoffs!

It's been a long time since the Gamblers have earned a playoff spot and it's pretty exciting around here. Haven't felt this much energy around the building in a long time. The Gamblers are in and are waiting to see how well they do this weekend to determine their playoff seed. If the Gamblers win at least 2 of their 3 games at the Resch, they will secure at least the #2 seed and guarantee home ice advantage for the first round. Winning the Anderson Cup is also a very real possiblity. If the team has home ice, playoff games will be here on Thursday, April 9 and Saturday, April 11. It's this old fart's birthday on the 11th....how sweet would a victory be on that day!!
