Bruisers Nightclub in Schofield will allow teens as young as fifteen to come there to socialize on specific nights.

The City of Schofield has approved a temporary license for the club to admit teens on four specific dates.

Alderwoman Pamela Chahdi says the first of the four approved teen nights is scheduled for Sunday July 27th but the other dates have not been scheduled.

Teens in the Wausau area are buzzing about the idea of hitting the club with friends.

"You can go to the movies every once in a while but that's about it." Says 15 year old Jessica Lewis.

"To be honest there aren't a whole lot of things a teenager can do under 21." Says 18 year old Matthew Seisei.

Alderwoman Chahdi says the owner of Bruisers Nightclub approached the city with the idea. She says teens complained about not having a variety of alcohol free places to socialize with their peers.

"I think the city is trying to be proactive as far as business goes and we all realize there's not a lot for kids to do in this area."

Alderwoman Chahdi says the only problems at Bruisers with past teen nights were in the parking lots. She says the Police Chief has asked the club to add additional security in their lot.

Alderwoman Chahdi teens as young as 15 will be allowed inside the club and the city ordinance doesn't put a maximum age restriction on club patrons.

She says the city has also asked them not to allow teens to leave the club once they have gone through security.

Alderwoman Chahdi says the city is doing there part to give teens alternative place to socialize but now it's up to the teens to follow the rules if they want the club to remain open.

She says if things go well Bruisers will be granted a license to have teen nights for one year.

Another venue, the Filmor in Wausau is also hoping to host some teen nights but according to the co- owner Bill Miller, the matter has not been approved by the full city council.
