The 28,500 square foot upper level includes 18 box suites placed on tiered levels. KLJ worked with the architect to construct rooms including concessions, restrooms, backstage support (greenroom), ticketing as well as a new entry to the existing casino. The main floor level houses a majority of the concert seating and stage area. KLJ developed a 96,000 square foot arena design that consists of two main levels with a capacity of 4,000. The second phase consisted of the event center addition on the north side of the existing casino. This included a 60-foot by 130-foot mechanical/storage room and a second 50-foot by 120-foot light storage area above the ballroom space. In addition, KLJ also designed and constructed two large storage mezzanines. The 4 Bears Event Center project was constructed as a multi-phase project which allowed the owner to continue operations throughout construction and minimize potential revenue losses.ĭuring the project’s first phase, KLJ developed design plans that included a new ballroom with a capacity of 684 and two collapsible partition walls, new restrooms, 9,000 square feet of storage, and a 2,500 square foot slot room with an advanced ventilation system for smoking casino patrons. In 2014, they commissioned KLJ to design the renovation of the existing event center and design a new event center adjacent to the casino. Four Bears Casino and Lodge attempted to accommodate this demand, but were unable to book desired events due to their limited capacity. Due to the region’s rise in population the casino was experiencing a growing demand for a larger venue and better entertainment options. Located in New Town, ND 4 Bears Casino and Lodge serves as the ultimate destination for gaming, entertainment, and luxurious lakeside cabins for visitors.
