Caught this in the herald today on the black Eyed Peas concert this past month at the Al. Sounds like the City of Grand Forks lost around $50,000 because of a low turn out. Here's part of the article on it. I really don't know why you would bring in the black Eyed peas? I don't think they are that big, especially in North Dakota.
