EDT: Fargodome Expansion Vote vs Old Man Yells at Cloud (12-5-23)

[LefseBison]

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.

I can hear most of the concerts at my house if the windows are open or I'm in the yard but by 9:30 ish they're done. I live about 10-12 blocks away and it's not loud enough top bother me. I don't know how it sounds to those houses that are within a couple blocks.

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.

Outside is industrial looking and ugly but looking at this picture, if the building is gutted, the ceiling is beautiful. Awesome potential

Stunning. He should be able to gussy up the outside.

And no parking anywhere near it. Unless he's going to buy out some of the other lots in the area.
