The BBF will be sporting new seats too! There is an advertisement for bids in the legal notices section of today's paper.

If I recall my conversation with LD awhile back, there will be 1803 chair back seats w/o arm rests. Should be an awsome VB facility.

Hope we don't have to buy blue seats with one row of red padded seats.:hide:

Did they swap digits in the article?

NDSU officials plan to replace the wooden bleachers in Bentson-Bunker Fieldhouse with $225,000 seatback bleachers that will seat 1,387 fans.

I thought road and others said 1800 seats. Is it supposed to be 1,837, not 1,387?

I have never heard a number from anyone at NDSU.

Sorry, my bad. It was dormie who said 1,802 was a number quoted in conversation with Lynn Dorn at last November's Bison/Gopher women's basketball game.

I've got an email in to Kevin Schnepf asking for a confirmation on the 1,387 number, and I'll post his response if he sends one.

With chair back seats, there might be only enough room for 1387. All I know is that it will be a LOT more comfortable seating!

Confirmed at 1,387. Doesn't leave much room for growth, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. The Fargodome arena would be a great second option if growth demanded it; the BBF could continue as the VB practice facility in that case.

Will the fire code allow for end zone bleachers?

I would think so. I remember (sorta) a Melissa Manchester concert in the Old Fieldhouse, and there must have been 3,000 there.
