NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) - The Four Bears Casino near New Town is planning to break ground on a 4,000-plus seat multipurpose events center this year.
General Manager Patrick Packineau says the casino owned by the Three Affiliated Tribes has outgrown its 2,300-seat events center, which was built in 2000.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1jS5HeT ) the casino hosts conferences, weddings, parties and two oil and gas shows in its facility, along with concerts. It amounts to at least 50 events a year.
Packineau says the size of the events center limits what acts are willing to put on shows and limits seating for other types of events.
The new center will be connected to the north side of the casino. The current event center will be renovated and will remain in use.
