In the fall of 2006, a new concert site for the upper Midwest region opened its doors as The Venue. The design team transformed a very open and utilitarian space into a destination event center with vibrant nightlife and a concert venue for 1,000 to 2,000 people. The Venue features a multi-level tiered mezzanine with club style seating that overlooks a large concert floor. The concert stage and its associated lighting canopy offer a fantastic light show and a house sound system. The site is frequented by nationally known recording artists on tour.
