Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena

Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena

The Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena (more commonly known as the Brown County Arena) is a 5,248-seat multi-purpose arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It was the city and county's main indoor venue until the Resch Center opened in 2002. It also was the home arena for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay basketball teams. The BCVMA opened in 1957. It hosted the 1991 Mid-Continent Conference men’s basketball tournament and the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now Horizon League) men's basketball tournament in 1998.

Currently the Arena continues to play host to concerts, ice shows, local sporting shows, high school graduations and other events, but has largely been phased out as a sports arena due to its age and lack of seating. This is largely due to the fact that most area sports teams that once used the arena currently play home games in the newer Resch Center, which is right next door.

Concert footage taken at the Arena was used in the music video of the song Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison.
