We wanted to title this Wrecked (pronounced Wreck-ed. You know, like Wicked), but test audiences thought it was "unclear," "perhaps negative," and "didn't meet brand standards." Here is our trailer for the ongoing Conference Center renovation. We think it will be popular.

In our quest to promote our ongoing Conference Center renovation, we decided to recreate the opening scene of Wicked. Why? Unclear. How did it turn out? Also unclear. What we do know is that this video is dramatic. It’s chaotic. And it’s… probably not winning any Tonys. This is the cast photo. We’ll release the full 1 minute and 30 seconds of pure cinema to the world if 21 brave souls comment the fanciest-sounding made-up event you’d host in our renovated space.

This fall, we will be going "cashless." Starting with the University of North Dakota Football home opener on Saturday, September 6, most purchases made inside the Alerus Center will be cash-free. Parking, along with a majority of concession stands, will now only accept debit, credit, pre-paid cards, and gift cards. The shift is designed to streamline transactions at concession stands and other point-of-sale locations in the arena and conference center, reducing wait times and improving operational efficiency. Limited cash options may be available for private events such as weddings, banquets, trade shows, and more. To ensure accessibility for all guests, cash exchange locations will be available at both the Transystems Box Office and Guest Services, where patrons can convert cash into pre-paid cards. Cash will still be accepted when purchasing tickets directly at the Transystems Box Office. During the transition period, select concession lines and arena floor vendors will continue to accept cash. These locations will be clearly marked with signage, and Alerus Center staff will be on hand to assist with any questions. Guests are encouraged to follow Alerus Center on social media and visit https://bit.ly/43lhZXx for the latest updates and the full “cashless” policy.
