Earlier this year, Skogen announced that he would open the Epic Event Center, a music and event venue on Holmgren Way, just blocks from the Capital Credit Union Park.
“We’ll be providing entertainment down the street, so this is a great fit. It’s been fun watching the team over the years and I am excited to continue the excellent experiences that Steve, Vern, and Conor have provided to the community,” says Skogen.
The current ownership group purchased the franchise that was originally founded as the Green
Bay Bullfrogs in December of 2013.
Under their ownership, the franchise moved from Joannes Stadium to the newly constructed Capital Credit Union Park and re-branded as the Green Bay Booyah in 2019.
