A group that one day hopes to build a new ice rink/athletic complex in the Atlantic City/Egg Harbor Township/Galloway Township area has added a former casino executive to its Board of Directors.
The first aviation facility in the world to be called an "airport" helped develop Atlantic City as a casino mecca, and now the resort town is turning to Bader Field to help relieve some of its crushing debt.
Atlantic City says an Entertainment City complex built around the casino industry could foster a performing arts, recreational and residential renaissance at the former Bader Field airport site.
Metallica's Orion Festival + More came to Atlantic City this past weekend at Bader Field. An estimated 60,000+ fans over the 2-day event enjoyed an amazing variety of music, wrapped up each night with a performance by the legendary heavy metal group Metallica.
