Well done Northern Air! This will be a hit - especially with winter coming on. Hologate - their virtual reality games are crazy and intense also! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not moreso geared towards. These kind of things are popular in the south. They have weekly leagues like us northern do in the summer with softball. I think I heard the one in gf is the largest indoor multilevel track in the midwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 30 miles to the west of Grand Forks, there's a small town called Gilby. They've been having a lot of murders lately. 6 to 14 players. $30 includes appetizer, dinner; dessert. Spots fill up fast with many people coming dressed from the 20s!

Cratter Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 So did the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) at the Alerus get too big over the last few years and now they felt like they had to open the other side of the arena? All the former years the entire audience (90%) sat looking straight on to the "main stage." Now virtually the entire audience has to look crank their head to see the "main stage." This is usually how things go...get big...change to accomodate...then people stop going...wonder why no one comes anymore... I'll save ya some time "Old man yells at clouds." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed. It sold out last year. I believe this is the biggest PBR event that comes to North Dakota and Minnesota. As always, can't beat $15 nose bleed seats. (Save fees. buy at Alerus). See ya there tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
