The Van Andel Institute – We know a little bit about its medical presence. What about the Van Andel Arena? Yes, it is probably open 24/7 with sporting events, and even cultural affairs. Anyone remember when our local opera company performed AIDA, including the Trimphal March? The Arena is a main stay for our greater community, and run by Eddie Tadlock. Grand Rapids enjoys the enormous business revenue the Arena brings in. We have asked Eddie to highlight his role as Major Domo of the Arena!
