If Nelly gets it too hot in the Scheels Arena on March 3, the hip-hop artist will melt the ice. The arena, home of the Fargo Force hockey team, an-nounced the concert late last week.
Nelly made his mark with his 2000 hit song "Country Grammar," but broke out with the '02 chart-toppers "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma," and again in '05 with his song "Grillz." He released his fifth disc in November, which featured the hit "Just a Dream."
Opening the show will be dance duo 3OH3!, which sold out the Venue at the Hub in November. Big Reeno is also on the bill with others to be an-nounced.
This will be the first show since Scheels bought the naming rights to the former Urban Plains Cen-ter in October. A Novem-ber show by country singer Craig Morgan was can-celled. The last concert at the facility was a show in May by rock bands Skillet and Red.
Scheels Arena and Fargo-based promoter Jade Presents also announced an agreement to present three shows this year in the south Fargo arena.
