Things to do in Stevens Point and Wausau

As someone in Central Wisconsin looking for live events in the Stevens Point area, I promise experiencing a Mid-State Roller Derby game is an unforgettable experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. 

The atmosphere at a game is unmatched. Whether sitting trackside or in the stands, it’s clear the crowd is enthusiastic for the action to begin, and the teams are excited to compete, creating a palpable sense of exhilaration that I haven’t found anywhere else – it’s a bubble of excitement and positivity that you can’t help but get sucked into. 

Then, once the match kicks off, the skaters’ speed, agility, and tenacity are truly awe-inspiring to watch. You’ll be caught up in the intensity of the competition, cheering on your team, and experiencing the enthusiasm of the live event. The hits, blocks, and strategic plays on the track will keep you fully engaged throughout the game, even if it’s your first game and you’re still figuring out all the rules! 

Speaking of that – don’t fret if you don’t know the rules! Everything is explained by the announcer throughout the game, making it easy to catch on. 

It’ll shock you how fast the match goes. I love being able to experience something so fun to watch without committing too much of my evening, but as the final whistle blows and the game ends, you’ll be left wanting to see more!

If you’re like me and often looking for something to do in Central Wisconsin that won’t break the bank and is a family-friendly event where you can get a drink (I prefer NA, but there’s beer as well) and enjoy yummy food from local food trucks, you will not regret coming to a Mid-State Roller Derby game.
