Fetch Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 I have been seeing ads for bands to play at the Lamp Lighter Lounge Is there a Bar / Lounge / concert venue over there on the Olympic Ice side ? Quote

Not sure, but when the Wirld Juniors were here last time, they set up a stage and bar (complete with Black Jack tables) in the Betty. My guess is they are doing something similar. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 It's the bar set up for the IIHF. I think they put it in the Olympic rink this time. Quote
ItalianSioux Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 this is a VERY different question if you happen to live in Saint Paul 2 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 They converted the Olympic rink into a large bar. I believe they did something similar during the world curling tourney. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 If anyone checks this out, should post the beer prices. Quote
northernraider Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Info per website The Lamp Lighter Lounge is your entertainment destination during the Men’s U18 World Championship. Grab a bite to eat in the lounge in-between games and hear from NHL GM’s and scouts, as well as IIHF officials about the game of hockey. The NHL playoffs will also be broadcast on large projector screens so you won’t miss a minute of the action. After the games are over for the day, stick around and enjoy live music from regional bands in the largest full-service bar in Grand Forks. If you’re coming to the lounge, here are a few things to know. Location: Olympic rink at Ralph Engelstad Arena. Enter through the Olympic doors on the north side of the arena. Hours of Operation: Opens one hour prior to the start of the first game of the day. The Lamp Lighter Lounge closes at 1:00AM every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and closes at midnight all other nights. Access: FREE Admission- no tickets or cover coverage. People can come and go as they please Who can go: The Lamp Lighter Lounge is open to all ages. You do not need to be 21 to enter. Entertainment: Live bands every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday immediately after the evening game. See below for the complete entertainment lineup Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Can you drink beer at your seats for these games? Not sure how IIHF events work... Quote
Fetch Posted April 14, 2016 Author Posted April 14, 2016 What is / was the place in Fargo that got good old bands to play there pretty regular ? The Ralph should try that in the Olympic rink year round Not really any bars big enough to do that in GF I miss good live music (food & drink would be good too) Quote

Several bars and an arena that would feature national bands...fun place back in the day. Quote

So I own a bar-/restaurant in Grand Forks pay my license fees every year but the Ralph gets to create a bar-/reataurant. Also when these events are bid with assistance from the CVB and tax payer dollars isn't part of the spin how the local bars and restaurants will profit? 1 Quote
petey23 Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 1 hour ago, Fetch said: What is / was the place in Fargo that got good old bands to play there pretty regular ? Kirby's! The Corner that rocked in Moorhead. Quote
northernraider Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 The Ralph already owns a liquor licenses and is a private organization. Why should they not have this lounge? Quote
CMSioux Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 true ..just a rant on my part..if i owned a local bar i would just question the need to try and get every dollar. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 REA guaranteed USA Hockey something like $1.2 million to be the host. They are using every way possible to make sure they don't lose money on the deal. Quote
MDtoGF Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Also for those interested in watching playoff hockey during intermission 2 large projectors with nbcsn were up. It was quite nice. The prime rib and nachos stands are there as well as 10 dollar buffets every night. Quote
Fetch Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 I think it was playmakers in Fargo is that still there ? Quote
