Rod McLane is a life long resident of Guttenberg and the proud owner of Guttenberg’s Stadium Bar and Grill. Rod graduated from Guttenberg High School in 1982.

The Stadium is a sports bar and restaurant, known for its good food and quick service. They serve a full breakfast every morning, offer great daily lunch specials, with a large variety of short order items, in addition to a complete dinner menu.
