Irish Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Glad to see them expand their entertainment - although I have to admit I was a little bit irritated to have to go through a metal detector to attend a craft show there last weekend. A solution in search of a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solution in search of a problem. I suspect metal detectors showing up at large venues in ND recently has less to do with the venue management and more to do with their insurance carriers.

Or perhaps a bit of both. I know it is a trend that is coming everywhere - I just don't like it. I can live with going through for a concert but a craft show?

I like that they are getting a few more rock concerts instead of just Country acts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksixpack Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Between the 3 events there could be up to 45,000 attendees; all in less than 24 hours…that’s never been done before in this town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Combs concert was postponed from last year. Not sure on Church. I believe it was a new tour this year. So I'm sure it had to do with routing of the two tours.

Frozen4sioux Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 So... overall how did it go for the town after the big weekend? Was it 1980s Canadian shopper crazy madness or was the bars and restraunts able to handle the green surge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends went to the concert, got their in plenty of time and missed the entire opening act and all but 2 songs of the second act. Was told it is not the Alerus’s fault. The Tour decides when doors open. Even if the decide they open an hour before the concert that should be plenty of time to get everyone in.

Fargodome has similar problems for concerts and NDSU football with not getting people in quick enough. They wanted to open the doors up earlier and weren't allowed to. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 anyway some one these venues can pool together and do a TSA like prescreening process....if you aint a felon or have a warrant and prescreen b4 you can basically stroll right in?

LOL - the Alerus is a money pit. Stop traffic on 42nd to let out the venue, not real hard. Anytime cars have to wait 90 minutes to exit something is wrong.
