Not horrible venue, but there are things here that make me wonder. No ATM onsite. Confusing parking (one week you can take one road, the next, it's closed). Onsite food and drink appear to have issues with credit card acceptance. In x2 of my last 5 visits, the Kress could not allow credit/debit cards for food purchase. With no ATM and my children in tow...this makes an extremely long visit with cranky kids. The Center is an oval, but one side of the oval is severed due to the band section. You can still get around that by leaving and re-entering, but still less than optimal. Good things, are the seats are pretty nice and close regardless of where you sit. The prices are affordable (granted you're able to purchase). I am an alumnus and during my time at UWGB, the Kress was pretty fancy, it's starting to show its age at this point. I'm concerned over the Center's ability to keep up-to-date if they cannot get a credit card machine to work nor understand that you absolutely need an ATM (my God, has no one ever addressed this!? How's that possible?).

Great venue for college women's hoops. Take advantage of it if you are in the area.

The workouts vary every day, making each workout a challenge but fun at the same time. The staff is incredible.

One of the few campus facilities at UW-Green Bay that is still open to the public, to use the fitness areas and attend sporting events. But beware: as a member of the public, you really are not welcome on campus. This is important if you plan on attending men's basketball games that are predominately moving from the Resch Center to the on-campus Kress Events Center for the 2021-22 season. Campus lots used to have free parking in the evenings and weekends, but now all lots are controlled by the ParkMobile app and you must have the app and use it to pay for parking AT ALL TIMES. Also, signs have been posted threatening $200 fines if you park in any area deemed to be alongside a road. These measures are consistent with the philosophy of the new chancellor who has implemented a number of policies designed to limit public access to campus. As the taxpayers who paid for this public university, you really are not welcome or have no rights.

I was vaccinated at the Kress Center clinic, and I was very impressed by how smoothly everything was run. The staff were very professional and helpful, and I barely had to wait in any lines.

The covid vaccine was easier to get to with better directions than the first one. They were great and didn't have to wait to get my 2nd shot.
