Resch Center

What Resch Center does

Resch Center operates as a multi-venue entertainment and exposition complex located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, directly across from Lambeau Field. The asset is owned by Brown County and operated under lease by PMI Entertainment Group, with a 10-year lease extension secured in March 2026. The complex comprises two principal venues: the Resch Center, a 10,500-seat (5,000-seat in theater configuration) multi-purpose arena originally opened in 2002, and Resch Expo, a 125,000-square-foot column-free exposition center that opened in January 2021 following a $93 million build, which replaced the demolished Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and Shopko Hall. The two venues are physically integrated, allowing free movement between exhibition halls and the arena, and are supplemented by 100,000+ square feet of outdoor plaza space accommodating up to 10,000 people for concerts and tailgating.

The core offering is event hosting across concerts, family shows, theater, sporting events, trade shows, conventions, and corporate events. The tech stack is physical-infrastructure-centric, including movable walls subdividing the expo into three ~42,000 sq ft halls, overhead load-in bays, rigging points, acoustical treatment, and advanced audiovisual infrastructure. Ticketing is operated through a core partnership with TicketStar, with distribution across online, call center, retail outlets, and an on-site box office; additional channels include direct group sales for parties of 10+, luxury suite rentals and ownership, club seating, and a dedicated group discount sales function. Architectural design was delivered by Kahler Slater (with Populous), and construction by Miron Construction, completed on schedule.

The revenue model is event-driven and diversified across multiple transaction-fee and quasi-recurring streams: ticket sales (range $28 for PBR events to $103+ for top concerts), concessions and catering, parking ($15-$155 depending on lot and vehicle type), luxury suite rentals and ownership, club seats, beverage-inclusive packaging, the Bart Starr Plaza Tailgate Party experience ($49-$99 per person), and venue-valid gift cards. Anchor tenancy is provided by three sports teams (Green Bay Gamblers Hockey, Green Bay Phoenix Men's Basketball, Green Bay Blizzard Indoor Football), supplemented by touring entertainment acts (e.g., Riley Green, WWE Friday Night Smackdown, Ella Langley, PBR Ram Challenger Series). Marketing and partnership development for trade shows and conventions is conducted in conjunction with the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau.
