The Community First Champion Center is a 164,000 sq ft (15,200 m2) indoor sports center in Grand Chute, in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The facility is primarily intended to be used for youth sports/community sporting activities and as of early 2019 is not planned to house a professional sports team. The sports center was expected to cost $30 million to build. The cost of construction was provided by a 3% hotel-room tax being charged throughout the Fox Cities region; this tax was also used to pay for the Fox Cities Exhibition Center. It is expected to contribute around $8–12 million the Fox Cities economy, one of the fast-growing regions in the United States.

BOW counties
BOW counties

The BOW counties () are three counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin: Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago. The counties stretch from the western shore of Lake Winnebago down the Fox River to Green Bay. Cities in the BOW counties include Green Bay, De Pere, Appleton (part), Kaukauna (part), New London (part), Seymour, Neenah, Menasha (part), Omro, and Oshkosh. Also included is the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. The region overlaps with the Fox Cities but includes the more populous Brown County, and not Calumet County. The region also excludes the similarly sized Fond du Lac County as it is more solidly Republican and last voted for a Democrat for president in 1964. The term has been in use since at least 2018, but only started being used by mainstream sources in 2020.The area is one of the most purple (evenly divided) in the state, and a key swing region. These counties tend to be left-leaning compared to the more right-leaning WOW counties located near Milwaukee. In the 2016 United States presidential election in Wisconsin, Donald Trump received the most votes for president in the BOW counties but with smaller margins than the WOW counties. Trump had 52% of the vote in Brown County, 54% in Outagamie County and just over 50% in Winnebago County. However, in 2020 it was one of 21 regions in the country identified that had an impact on Joe Biden's victory. In addition to presidential elections, the region is watched in other elections, such as races for United States Senate and Wisconsin Supreme Court.
