Struthers concert promoter gets Chevy Centre interim post

YOUNGSTOWN — The city plans to hire Eric Ryan, a Struthers concert promoter, early next week to serve as the interim executive director of the Chevrolet Centre.

Ryan would hold the position for up to 120 days and run the day-to-day operations of the city-owned facility.

A tentative deal is in place and should be finalized Monday or Tuesday. Financial details weren’t released Friday.

“It is a big responsibility, but I’m all for it,” Ryan said. “I’m all for the challenge.”

Ryan has operated Eric Ryan Productions since 2003, and has promoted 10 to 12 events at the Chevrolet Centre since it opened two years ago.
