Guidelines
We're eager to hlep make your event a success. The following guidelines will help us to do so.
- FARGODOME does not allow the use of duct, masking, scotch, or two-sided tape for any application. We require that only wrestling mat tape be used in the facility. This may be purchased at sporting goods stores or we will have it available for sale during move-in for $12.00 per roll. If your exhibitors use any two-sided tape, a minimum clean up charge of $300.00 will be assessed directly to the promoter.
- FARGODOME has the following policy with respect to signs: signs displayed outside meeting rooms should be freestanding or on an easel. No adhesive other than FARGODOME-approved tape may be used to affix signs to walls, unless otherwise approved by the Event Coordinator. FARGODOME will approve and assist in the placement of all signs.
- FARGODOME does not allow small decorative helium balloons to be used anywhere in the arena. Large tethered advertising balloons may be used in your display area but before inflating them, please sign a waiver at the utility table in the NW corner of the field level.
- FARGODOME is not responsible for any party favors or further decoration beyond our normal event set-up.
- Glitter and confetti are not allowed to be used as a decoration.
- The use of Fog Machines is strictly prohibited in the meeting rooms.
- Decorations must be taken down upon completion of event. FARGODOME is not responsible for lost or stolen decorations.
- FARGODOME is unable to accept any shipments for vendors prior to the start of, or after the conclusion of your show. If you need to ship items prior to arriving for move-in, please send them directly to the decorator that has been designated for your event. FARGODOME will accept shipments for promoters prior to events. Please have the sender note your company name and the event coordinator's name on the package, so that our staff will know that they can accept the parcel.
- When arranging your contract times, please be sure that you have allowed enough time for your decorator to move in their materials and complete the necessary measuring and set-up prior to the beginning of your move-in. Often we are not able to accommodate requests for extra time and would appreciate it if you would plan for their needs in advance.
- All vendors who plan to give away food samples must first contact our Food & Beverage department and obtain prior approval.
- FARGODOME is a smoke-free facility.
- Occasionally, we are able to accommodate requests from vendors to stage their trailers for extra vehicles in an empty parking lot prior to the beginning of move-in. Houwever, all arrangements for this must be made with the event coordinator prior to the move-in day. We have experienced problems with exhibitors dropping their items and blocking our parking lots. FARGODOME assumes no responsibility for loss, theft or vandalism of items left outdoors.
- Please advise your vendors that all vehicles, trailers and booth materials must be removed completely from FARGODOME and its parking lots by the time your contract expires.
