Perfect in size and atmosphere, it has held some of the biggest concerts of the Minnesota State Fair. It also has ample of floor space for exhibitions. After a recent renovation, its capacity has multiplied to accommodate 17,000 persons. But naturally, the Grandstand is the center of entertainment and joie de vivre of the Fair. Since the time the Fair has expanded beyond its traditional function of an agriculture and livestock exhibition, the Grandstand has emerged as the major attraction, especially for the youth of Minnesota.
