Grandma's Sports Garden Hosts Ludacris Pre-Party

DULUTH – Northlanders were bumping to the hip hop tunes of rapper Ludacris Friday night at AMSOIL Arena.

But before the show, they were getting their party on at Grandma's Sports Garden.

They gave away tickets to the Ludacris show as well as tickets to an upcoming Lady Gaga concert.

The garden's general manager, Matt Baumgartner, said it's the perfect way to celebrate the good weather.

"It's great that we can have a gateway concert like this to the summertime where people will come to Duluth, see that the weather's great, remember how beautiful the lake is, and really look forward to other events this summertime," he said.

The garden also hosted a post-concert party with drink and food specials.
