The Resch Center is a 10,200 seat multi-purpose arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was built in 2002. It is the home of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team, Green Bay Gamblers ice hockey team, and Green Bay Blizzard arena football team. The arena was built next to the existing Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena which is across the street from Lambeau Field. It was named for KI executive Dick Resch.

It was the site of the 2006 NCAA Hockey Tournament's Midwest Regional, held on March 25, and 26. The Wisconsin Badgers of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), the Cornell Big Red of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), Colorado College, also of the WCHA, and Bemidji State University of College Hockey America (CHA), all participated in the Midwest Regional. The regional final had Wisconsin defeating Cornell 1-0 in three overtimes. Jack Skille had the game winning goal at 11:13 into the third overtime.^[1]

This game was the longest 1-0 game in NCAA Tournament history, the second longest game in tournament history, and currently the sixth-longest game in NCAA Division I history. The victory earned the Badgers their first trip to the Frozen Four since 1992.
