Alerus Center

Comment on Facebook

The Alerus Center is an indoor arena located in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It opened in 2001. It is the home of the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux football team. The arena also plays host to many large concerts, sporting events, and trade shows. It can seat as many as 22,500 people at one time. The facility includes an adjacent convention center which features twelve meeting rooms and a 28,000 square foot (2,600 m²) ballroom. The convention center is used for conferences, seminars, banquets, parties, and smaller concerts. The Alerus Center is named after a local bank, Alerus Financial, which purchased the facility's naming rights. The arena has had many big musical acts including Cher, The Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Kiss, Aerosmith, Bette Midler, and Mötley Crüe. The 2002 Cher concert was the largest such event ever held at the arena and, at that time, was the largest audience the entertainer had ever performed in front of. An adjacent $40-$50 million "destination center" was completed in 2008. This addition includes a 13-story Canad Inns hotel, a large waterpark, restaurants, and other attractions. A wellness center and spa may be added in the future.
