Cofrin Family Hall

Cofrin Family Hall is the main performance auditorium at The Weidner on the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay campus. This versatile 2,021-seat theatre accommodates major theatrical productions, concerts, symphonic performances and other stage events, while its two balcony levels help maintain an intimate connection between the audience and the stage. Distinctive features include an adaptable stage system for different performance configurations and the built-in, three-story Wood Family Organ.

The hall is particularly noted for its acoustics and clear sight lines. The seating layout is designed to provide strong views of the stage throughout the large auditorium, while the acoustic design supports both spoken-word and musical performances. The Weidner's spacious public and foyer areas complement the experience before performances and during intermissions.

The venue is located at 2420 Nicolet Dr, Green Bay, United States, on the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay campus. Campus parking areas are available close to The Weidner, and passengers can be dropped off at the covered entrances at the front or rear of the building.

Green Bay, a city set along the bay and the Fox River, stands out with an energetic entertainment scene and a strong tradition of major gatherings. While it’s widely associated with top-tier sports atmosphere, it’s just as appealing for concerts, tours, and large-scale shows, which is why many visitors arrive specifically for the unforgettable vibe inside arenas and stadiums. The city feels compact, easy to navigate, and welcoming—an excellent choice when you’re looking for tickets to an event and want to pair a great program with a comfortable stay.

Getting in and around is made easier by practical infrastructure. Local public transportation relies on the Green Bay Metro bus network, with the Green Bay Metro Transportation Center at 901 University Avenue serving as a key hub for planning trips toward the main event areas. If you’re flying in, Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) is the primary airport close to the city. For longer-distance travel by public transport, the Amtrak connecting point Green Bay, WI – Transportation Center (GBY) can be useful, with links toward major rail hubs such as Milwaukee Intermodal Station (MKE), making bus + train combinations a practical option.

Since you’re coming for a concert or a game, it’s worth adding a small tourist “bonus.” A walk along the Fox River and the waterfront paths, a break on the CityDeck platforms by the water, or exploring lively districts with restaurants and local breweries can easily fill the time before the event starts. For a slower pace, there are family-friendly spots like the Bay Beach area, plus museums and historical sites that add depth to the visit. Green Bay delivers a simple formula: a great event, easy movement, and enough extras to make the whole trip feel complete.
