It was named for executive Dick Resch of a local office furniture company KI Industries, which holds the arena's naming rights.
The arena was built next to the existing Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena and across the street from Lambeau Field on a site formerly home to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame from 1976 until 2001.
The arena is inside the boundaries of Ashwaubenon, but holds a Green Bay address.
