The Power of Britney

The following italicized article is from www.wday.com:

Her big top circus brought a big economic boost to Grand Forks. That from economic experts about last weekend's Britney Spears concert at the Alerus.

David Flynn, an Assistant Professor at UND says about one-third of the tickets were sold to Canadians who probably spent $500-thousand dollar on hotel rooms, shopping and restaurants over the weekend.

In all, Flynn estimated the event brought a couple million dollars in extra spending into the Grand Forks community.
