FARGO, N.D. (AP) - The Fargodome broke an attendance record in 2016.
KFGO-AM reports (https://bit.ly/2lghk2C ) that nearly 600,000 people packed the venue last year. And the record crowds produced an operating surplus of more than $528,000, which was way above the budgeted $92,000. That’s its best performance since 2000.?
Fargodome General Manager Rob Sobolik cites a strong concert line-up last year that included four Garth Brooks concerts and an AC/DC concert, each bringing in more than 19,000 people, plus a strong line-up of other entertainers, including Justin Bieber, James Taylor and Blake Sheldon.
Sobolik says a sixth consecutive year of Bison football playoff games also boosted attendance and the indoor stadium’s bottom line.?
The 2016 profits go into the Fargodome’s surplus budget to be used for capital improvements and building upgrades.
