I can attest!  1/5 mile - 2 level track - electric karts - you race for time, not against other racers and build your speed through that but at the top adult level you're screeching tires around every turn.  Well done Northern Air!  This will be a hit - especially with winter coming on.  Hologate - their virtual reality games are crazy and intense also!

Yeah. This isn't just for kids. adults too. 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.

It would be a real scene if about 1000 college kids showed up.

I think the high river levels at the time are what ended it.

i thought too many rubber duckies were getting missed picked up and the crazies said a fish might choke or something?  kinda like balloon releases now....might kill a bird or a frog when it comes back down?

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!

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."

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.

Unfortunate it overlaps with the UND Champions Ball.

[Cratter]

Too many events nowadays,

PBR, Sawyer Brown, and UND Ball all on the same night...and the circus?!

This weekend is Monster Trucks!

 

[Cratter]

Hard to believe the Alerus Center didn't pass on the first vote!

Who were the fun haters back them?!

[Cratter]

Unfortunately for you.

I heard this is sold out.

 

Edit: oops, I think that was another event this last Saturday to add to all the others (PBR, Sawyer Brown, etc).

[Cratter]

Not hard to find quality comedy in GF, the town has a long storied tradition of great comics coming to town.

This Red River grad is being sued by Elon Musk.

Talk about a feather in your cap.

Hey Greg, I know a university that could really use a nice size donation to their athletic department.
