HerdBot - you probably know this since you follow everything but I saw a headline in Forum about Jade trying to get a concert/event center on the western edge of downtown. Interesting.
I saw it and it looks pretty exciting. It will fill a niche for outdoor shows for summer months but I have no idea what the capacity will be. I looked on Google Maps and it's much larger than the parking lot of Fargo Brewing. If I had to guess, Fargo Brewing probably holds around 1,000 to 1,500 depending on configuration.
This new spot would probably hold double, between 2-3k, depending on how many bleacher seats they get. Much cooler spot too with grass and bleachers
Drove by the vacant lot today and it is a total shithole. Embarrassing for the city. This would be a hell of an improvement and help draw more people to town. It doesn't solve conference space or an indoor facility, but it would be helpful
It needs to clear the planning commission and they meet on Tuesday. This is a simple to fill out form https://fargond.gov/contact-us?conta...ing-commission

thanks. I think it is a good deal. My real reason for bringing this up was when the Dec 5th vote was set to occur, and a true convention center was on the ballot, there were a lot of people who said, "well, we already have a lot of convention center space." But as the Reimagined Committee pointed out numerous times, "yes, we have some good event spaces, quite a bit actually but what we are discussing in the ballot in a true convention center."
In any case, I will watch the Planning Commission video when it comes out and if I feel real energetic, maybe even attend it.
Thanks for all the information!
Has noise been a problem with home fairly close to the Fargo Brewing site? We used to live about 1/2 mile from a city park in Oregon that had free concerts once a week in the summer and they had to stop at 9:00 PM since there were homes and apartments bordering three sides of the park.
It's OK to not be OK.
The Fargo Brewing Proposal passed 8-0. An interesting side note, Jade Nielson bought Angels Arena a block away and he said he wants to turn it into an events center and specifically cited The Venue at the Hub and the Civic leaving a hole in the entertainment world.
The Angels Hockey is moving to the Fargo Sports Center and sold him the building. Right now it's kind of a dive but the building had some ridiculously awesome potential. 1) Huge Space with nearly 40,000 SF. 2) giant wood ceiling for great acoustics
That would solve a major issue if he can get that done but he said it could be 2-3 years

HerdBot: Is the Angel Arena that unusual and maybe mystical looking building with TONS of vines? I think in the past it was kind of a maintenance bldg for City of Fargo. Always intrigued by it. If that is the correct building, it will take a while to fix up but if anyone can do something, it is him. Wonder about parking???
EDIT: Okay, I was thinking about wrong bldg. The one I was thinking about was closer to the new water tower on the east side of Univ. Drive
I did look up the Angel Arena. Uff-da. He can work his magic.
1401 5th Ave N, Fargo, ND 58102
Outside is industrial looking and ugly but looking at this picture, if the building is gutted, the ceiling is beautiful. Awesome potential
