Four busy days!

The Resch Center had four busy days this past weekend..starting with Jeff Dunham on Thursday, Blizzard game on Friday, Keith Urban on Saturday and Disturbed concert on Sunday. We had pretty big crowds all four days. Dunham was a sell-out and a very nice guy from what I've heard from the folks here who got to meet him. Pretty much down home who feels blessed for the tremendous success he's having right now.

Keith Urban had a great concert Saturday night....actually ran into him (not literally) backstage. And no, I did not see the Mrs.....Nicole Kidman. I think everyone asked me that.

The Disturbed concert was also a big hit with those attending Sunday. I just wish the guy who entered the building right after doors opened could have kept his drinks and dinner to himself. Not a pretty sight for our housekeeping staff to clean up in the lobby! I know I'm getting old, but was it just me or did the music seem as loud as ever? Thank goodness for earplugs!

WWE on the way

WWE's Monday Night Raw is on tap for the Resch Center on June 22. Tickets on sale as of Saturday, May 9. This will be a live telecast from Green Bay and another great chance to showcase our city and building to the rest of the country.

Also, look for more details soon for the Sugarland concert at the Resch July 8.

Disturbed discounts

If you act quickly early next week, you'll be able to get a Disturbed concert ticket for only $22. If you're a veteran, it's only $17. The veterans' discount is good right up until show time. The other discount ($22) is only good Monday, May 4 - Wednesday, May 6. Speaking of Disturbed and veterans, I thought it was pretty interesting to read the band's reaction to a few veterans concerned about the concert here and being near the Brown County Veterans Memorial. The band was pretty insulted because the members claim no band in the country does more for veterans than they do.

Well, the ice is finally out of the Resch Center because the Gamblers' dream season has finally come to an end. What a ride it was....going from worst in the league last year to winning the Anderson Cup (regular season championship) this year. What a job new coach Jon Cooper and the entire Gamblers' organization pulled off. Looking forward to more great hockey next year.
