Bryan Blair | Athletic Director | University ofToledo  

It was July of 2023 when University of Toledo AthleticDirector Bryan Blair sat on the set of Leading Edge and said UToledo’s Glass Bowl has untapped potential and should be northwest Ohio’s premiere outdoor concert venue.

Jump ahead nearly two years and on May 24th - Zac Brown Band and a host of others will perform at the Glass Bowl as part of Glass City Live. UToledo is expecting more than 15,000 fans.

It’ll be the first major show there since 1994 (Beach Boys). But this effort isn’t just about a concert - it’s about a movement for the region - to make UToledo a centrally located hub of activity.
