We were at the Alerus in January for bull-riding and a Montgomery Gentry concert. The set-up was a little odd - you sat in one area for the bull-riding and then moved over for the concert but it worked. The sound system was great and it was not overcrowded; security were typically pleasant ND'ers. We would definitely go back. More

The Alerus centre is a unique building, but there breakfast sucks big time. I was there this past week and I thought I was back in the military with there breakfast style eggs and alien style potatoes. On a positve note, there supper of beef and fish was to die for. More

Alerus Center in Grand Forks. They have concerts and many other events thru the year. It is a great place to host an event such as a wedding reception or banquet. The carpet is really ugly, but the rest of the decor is ok. Seems like they are always squabling about how it should be run. More

To rent a space is very expensive. A lot of the people are not very friendly. They dont give you lots of option unless you have lots of money. If they don't hit pre sale tickets sometimes they cancel the event and you do not get your money back. You have to pay for parking for large events when in... More

The Alerus answers the musical question "What happens when a city decides to build an events center on the backs of taxpayers?
