The new Resch Expo will have space for concerts inside, and outdoors on the plaza, when touring acts return
Green Bay Press Gazette
ASHWAUBENON - There’s no shortage of space inside and out at the new Resch Expo, and PMI Entertainment Group plans to use both for concerts. The $93 million, 125,000-square-foot building that opened in January will host more than trade shows, conventions and sporting events.

PMI manages all three venues.
“It just gives us that space we’ve never had. I’ve turned down so many concerts that fall between the Meyer Theatre and the Resch theater setup,” said Matt Goebel, who is general manager of the Meyer and is helping to book the Resch Expo. “This will be very helpful for us to be able to get that 1,500- to 3,000-capacity artist...

The study noted that women hold nearly two-thirds of all minimum-wage jobs in the country.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare the deep gaps in our economic and social infrastructure that have resulted from decades of underinvestment and policy choices...
