Todayโs throwback takes us back to the very first event ever held at the Red Baron Arena & Expo, on this day 10 years ago! ๐
Just days after opening, the facility welcomed hundreds of visitors for a public Open House and served as a stop on the University of Minnesotaโs Gopher Road Trip.
Guests got their first look inside the brand-new facility, touring the ice arena, expo space, club room, locker rooms, heated viewing areas, and Daktronics video board. After years of planning and construction, the community finally had the opportunity to see the finished product firsthand. โค๏ธ
The Marshall Independent captured the excitement of the day, including comments from visitors seeing the facility for the first time and the pride felt by those who helped bring the project to life.
