The Al has seen over 3.2 million people come through its doors and hosted over 5,500 events, which has had a significant positive impact on our community. The recent renovations combined revenue management with the variety of space options and food and beverage selection, continue to entice groups and events to Grand Forks.
I have enjoyed revenue management experiencing an array of concerts as well as attending a number of events, over the last eight years I have been in town. It was amazing seeing Cher, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Fleetwood Mac and others just ten minutes from my house. I also witnessed two presidential candidates appearing on the same stage, within hours of each other, when then-Senators Obama and Clinton visited Grand Forks during the ND Democratic Convention. Thousands of people traveled from all over the region to see this historic event for our community. With only days to prepare and working around an international sporting event starting the same day in Grand Forks, it was amazing what a successful revenue management event this was.
