Until 1967, the fairgrounds were located in Fargo, near the present site of Fargo North High School. After decades of fairs held in West Fargo, at a fairground which leaves MUCH to be desired, it is time for the fair to return to Fargo.

Build a new, green, modern fairground in Fargo. Choose a semi-wooded location and keep as many trees as possible on-site. Include a lot of green space to avoid a parking lot feel. Use as little asphalt as possible, but make sure the parking lots ARE paved.

Livestock and exhibition halls should be green and sustainable, making use of renewable energy -- solar and wind -- to heat and cool.

Include an ampitheatre, space for free stages, and a family friendly design. Consider incorporating existing ideas or facilities, like the Red River Horse Park. Incorporate positive elements from the State Fairgrounds in Minot, like ample green space, a covered grandstand, etc... Include modern amenities like Wi-Fi, broadcast facilities, and more.

Economic impact to the community would likely increase if the fair were held at a more pleasant facility.
