NDSU On Campus Stadium 2025

[El_Chapo]

PLAN B BABY!

NDSU On Campus Stadium 2025

BUILD A NEW ONE WEST OF SOFTBALL FIELDS

OR


Take the Existing NODAK INS IPF & Encircle Seats with the Existing Outside football field and build around it straight up, Nothing Fancy, just walls and concrete like Wyoming War Memorial
Make it 38,000 Attendence.
Open Air it like this stadium did in China with an overhang, we all stay WARM and KEEP WIND OUT
Once we are FBS we don't play past Nov 24 anyways.

https://architizer.com/idea/3064279/


$250-$300 million Budget.
Sanford $50 million
Scheels $50 million

NDSU raises $150-$200 Million privately (hit up Bushel, Bobcat, Case IH, BNG, Seed companies, get creative)


NDSU owns the stadium and keeps all revenue!!!!!


Fargodome can convert itself into the worlds largest convention center.

[Bison03]

What the hell are you talking about. Build a football stadium around the existing practice field?! You think there is room for that? Hahah!

YES!

or build it west of softball fields or rugby fields you can still be 200 feet high with the airport

Can’t wait to see your donation

[roadwarrior]

YES!

Yeah, sure

[Mr Pep Band]

This needs to be moved out of Football.

[The_Sicatoka]

I have it on good authority that the Deere building by Research I and II could not go any higher than they did because of runway 31.

[BigHorns]

Have to account for takeoff and approach glide paths, with safety margins.
Chapo is 200 feet "high" on this one.

No problem….chapo dated a grandma whose grandson works for the FAA….

[BigHorns]

Budget numbers aren't close either. Construction costs a wee bit more here than in China.

That's why you build it... UNDERGROUND!

[23Bison]

So we're not getting a new stadium?

[Sun Bison]

No new stadium, no FBS conference, no damn soup for NDSU!

[cbline]

No new stadium, no FBS conference, no damn soup for NDSU!

Oh, no! What's next? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

[23Bison]

So let me get this straight. We lost to USD, UND, SDSU, didn't get a top 8 seed in the playoffs, aren't getting rid of OC to Kansas St and now we aren't getting a new stadium? Wow, 2023 has been tough!!

[El_Chapo]

NDSU doesn't have 1 of the best Architect/Engineering schools in the country? Don't tell me we couldn't use these departments and get something done in that IPF area.

Hell move it south of Herd N Horns then in that parking lot.

Build it... and they will come.

[23Bison]

In all seriousness, I would gladly donate funds for a new on campus stadium. At this point, 30K seating and probably enclosed. I will say no more.

[bruinbison]

This needs to be moved out of Football.

Yes!
Please do, this is just Chapo clogging this Football thread up again -
Bison Commons or Especially in Smacktalk where it should be.

With that budget, i assume no luxury boxes, no real seating and play on dirt? I think your estimate is off at least double.

USF is building a 35,000 seat stadium with all the Bells and whistles for 350,000,000

50 million private donors.
200 million loan
100 million in sponsorship

10358

With that said and with the ever increasing likelihood that the G5 will be demoted and will likely have some sort of playoffs, it makes sense to stick with a Dome. We obviously can't afford to build a new one but I refuse to believe that we can't put a new roof on the dome, add a 5000 seat upper deck to west side and a press box + suites to the east side for half the price of a whole new building. (500 mill vs 250 million)

This is realistic and put up those overhangs like I posted in post #1 to keep the wind out, heaters in the concourse and it'll be awesome!

38,000 seats. Upper deck seats go for $20 and the place would be packed and a party!!

[BattleBorn]

Can we all agree though that Chapo's vision of NDSU sounds downright amazing? New buildings everywhere, Big XII banging down our door, not having to leave tailgating an hour early to get into the Dome for the pregame...

[NI4NI]

FWIW, I have zero interest in watching football outside in ND after mid October.

Having a dome and then going back to not having one would take a real special inbreed of stupid.

[ndsubison1]

Not happening due to FAA regulations. Would probably have to be west of I29.

[The_Sicatoka]

Snapdragon (SDSU) or IG Field*.


*That's in Can-nah-dah so Chapo's never heard of it; but, it's his prototype of outdoor but shielded. Heard a pretty good back (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Oliveira) plays there. :innocent:

USF design is a more traditional wide open stadium. Costs go WAY up once you start building roof structures like those in the el chapo proposal. That gets you more into the NorthWestern stadium pricing levels ... $800m for 28,500 capacity with bells and whistles.

Expansion of the dome like you noted may be more cost effective, if it's feasible to do that without a large amount of demo and rebuild.

Sub zero days in November are rare… when we move FBS you won’t have to worry about home playoffs games in December… and weather would be an advantage to us. Outdoor football is fun and I prefer it as a viewing experience, too. That’s just me.

Conference championship games are the first week of December.

[heffray]

Conference championship games are the first week of December.

…and normally they are neutral site games, no?

[Hammerhead]

Just move the airport and build the stadium there. Problem solved.

[El_Chapo]

Conference championship games are the first week of December.

Nope mountain West Dec 2 at Raiders Stadium.

So NDSU gets a f**king home game on Nov 1 or November 15 Big Deal, it'll be 40-50 degree's out (probably warmer!!)

and Semi Enclosed Sides will keep the wind out and the concourse heaters and 40,000 fans will have that thing heated around 60 Degrees easily!!

Football Outdoors. We've seen enough of the dome.

[23Bison]

I think every time you post on this your attendance number goes up.

shhh its subliminal !

The P4 are but CUSA, MWC, and Sun Belt play on campus. Higher ranked team host.

[North Side]

I thought the Fargodome land was owned by NDSU and rented by the city of Fargo?

[El_Chapo]

We declare Prima Nocta and therefore RECLAIM THE FARGODOME for NDSU only, it’s our land like Sitting Bulls!

It's only fair, after all the woke idiots at NDSU administration have a land acknowledgement so they obviously are for repatriation of stolen (leased) land... :innocent:

That sounds great! I think I will take the roof off of my shop too, it will be epic! Plus the refrigerator will take less electricity! Win Win!

[Bisonator98]

I wonder if there is any way to reroof the FD eliminating the corner posts? That would add significant seating in the corner areas, probably enough to get to 25k. That would be perfect size than add the renovations proposed by this failed measure minus the stupid convention center and I think you'd find massive support for it.

[BigHorns]

For the next 5-10 years, upgrading the fargodome makes a lot more sense than trying to raise $500m for a new dome or go to an outdoor stadium.

It gets too damn cold in december to be outside.

[BattleBorn]

I have solved the problem. Outdoor stadium designed to minimize the north wind and maximize sun exposure. Since we all agree that our coaching staff sucks, we don't have to worry about December home games anymore. Ever. In the rare event we at Bisonville are wrong, stay with me here... HEATED SEATS. Throw down a strip of cardboard under your boots, blanket on your lap, those seats will keep you nice and toasty.

How will we pay for it you ask? I have come up with 2 options. 1: A heated seat license you renew every year with your season tickets for the ability to turn your seat on or 2. For the single game peasants like myself, a card reader on each armrest to pay for single-use of the heated seat feature. I considered using touch/Apple Pay but WiFi seems far too unrealistic. The only issue I see with my plan is convincing the security staff that we aren't trying to smuggle liquor in with our blankets.

[El_Chapo]

ive been to every gophers/badgers game on Nov 25 for last 20 years.
Its usually always around 30 degrees, and i've never been cold.
quit with this straw man it'll be soo cold argument.
Keep the wind out eliminates the wind chill.

its Dec 7 its 56 today FFS!!

Chapo I'd love to agree with you here, but we can't fill the heated Dome on a nice day anymore. Would an end of season clash with Toledo bring in the bodies? I'd love to think so, but I don't.

in FBS we won't be PLAYING PAST November 17 !!! Average High 45.

(You obviously tell the conference that last game is on the road!)

It would IF the season before their ticket department were jackasses and didn't let us have tickets!

[scottietohottie]

The problem with a new stadium would be the huge parking lot needed for all the people from Fargo who can't park in a single parking spot because their vehicle is more precious then yours eh. It's always a tiny little car parked in 2 spots 2 eh. And then you idiots can't even leave cordially eh.

[totoinfl]

If there is FBS, rivalry games are scheduled for Thanksgiving Weekend, non P4 championship games are on campus in december. Plus with the new "paid player" division, i would guess the other FBS conferences will be left out so they may put in an FCS style playoff...I don't think this is a build it and they will come situation for an outdoor stadium...

Those Superduties refuse to sit straight in a single parking spot, no fault of course to the fine UAW men and women at the Kentucky Truck Plant.

PLAN B BABY!

NDSU On Campus Stadium 2025 This idea is too good. Don't expect many people to support it. It's what the program needs. It's kinda like discussing a move to DI back in the 90s... couldn't be done... and the Gophers would pound the Bison.

[The_Sicatoka]

Lets just get the ball rolling again for that sweet 50,000 seat stadium shared with und.

NDSU is exit 67, UND is exit 140, diff is 73, half is 36.5, plus 67 is 103.5, or 104-ish ... Hillsboro.

Set 'er at Hillsboro by the USDA office west of I29.
Bullet trains along I29 with stations at Hector and Hillsboro Cenex and UND CAS.

Chapo, get on it!

[23Bison]

Does it absolutely have to be on campus? I'm not saying put the thing up in South Fargo but could it go up close to I29 if NDSU already has property there. Shouldn't have to deal with the FAA anymore and you'd have a blank slate and its not all that far from campus.

for the 1st 4-5 games you get 2000-2500 freshman walking over to the dome, doubt that happens out by costco.

The stadium can go up to 200-300 feet on campus, are those und sky taxi cab drivers that fucking stupid to fly into a building?

Yes.

It's ~ 2 miles from U of M front gate on Washington Ave to the US Bank Stadium site where the Gophers used to play (in the Metrodome.) There is a train that runs directly from one location to the other and back. Yet the U of M made the decision to bring their FB back on campus at Huntington Bank Stadium to increase fan/student engagement. This lesson has been learned. No need to re-learn it.

Would need to go south and west of County 11 (where USDA/FCS offices are located) they have platted development to the north of County 11 and west if I-29. All on board with this idea since I could essentially walk there from my house then! :biggrin:

It could just be on the north side of the viaduct (or more accurately that elevator and Sysco building) and west of the railroad. Would need lots of road infrastructure added in. But that location wouldn't be any closer to the airport than Fargodome is probably farther away, and not in the flight path of any existing runway.

My comments in no way reflect that I'm FOR either of these projects.

If that is the location I'm thinking of, along 12th avenue, are you sure that is not in a flight path? I seem to recall an F4 taking a dirt dive into some houses just south of that back when I was living in Fargo.

Not any more than Fargodome is with runway 31. Sorry image is way smaller than I thought it would be, look at google maps, starting at the west end of the viaduct is about where the typical flight path would be for the main 36 runway. Not that there wouldn't be FAA "restrictions" nothing more so than Fargodome had to deal with though.

I live a few miles from a regional airport. When we did our addition to our home adding a second story we had to get inspected for height before the building permit was approved. Even with the added height we were well below the neighbors behind us that were higher up the grade lol.

[Bisonator98]

Not sure why an outdoor stadium couldn't go where the rugby field is located. Outdoor stadium isn't going to be higher then the dome.

[MyOhMy]

Can we name it El Chapo Memorial Stadium? :howdy:

Beyond that, for large stadiums (30k+) there is a 3nm "no fly zone" established during gamedays.

Pretty damn sure FAA is not going to permit a large stadium anywhere near the arrival/departure paths of an airport.
Would need to be at least 3 miles away from arrival and departure paths (not just the airport) in theory.

How do they conduct fly overs then?

[The_Sicatoka]

How do they conduct fly overs then?

The "no fly" is for commercial/private, not military.

[BigHorns]

How do they conduct fly overs then?

Waiver/special permit and 3000 ft AGL, typically done by military only.

[23Bison]

Pretty sure you can keep an outdoor stadium the size we're talking about well under 200 feet.

and yea. those und pilots should just concentrate on flying me to vegas and back and vegas and back and vegas and back every day. just a glorified Taxi Cab Driver.

[NI4NI]

Not sure why an outdoor stadium couldn't go where the rugby field is located. Outdoor stadium isn't going to be higher then the dome.

Remember the field of the dome is well below street level. (not sure what the roof pitch height is?)

Outdoor field with ground level field and higher capacity would logically be as tall or taller?

[kab1one]

Can we name it El Chapo Memorial Stadium? :howdy:

Memorial, as in past tense? No longer with us?

[WestCoastBison]

Can 3/4 of it be underground?

[BigHorns]

Can 3/4 of it be underground?

As long as it's not near an airport, or permanently stays below 30k capacity perhaps.

We could try to build a 28/29k one and hope they don't notice if 30k show up.
Generally though, FAA does not really like large gatherings of crowds near approach paths, so still might object.

For a truly large stadium, we might need to pick a different part of fargo.

So much small time thinking. Just move the friggin airport. Duh!

I am really bad at posting digital stuff but there are videos of one of the most extreme landing spots in the world at Maho Beach, St Martin, where KLM flies so low that it seems they are going to hit beach goers. People actually go there for the "thrill" of seeing the plane's underbelly coming so close to them.

[Hammerhead]

Build the whole stadium into the ground so you walk in at the top like Frisco. All you need are big sump pumps.

[unbison]

[HerdBot]

That's why you build it... UNDERGROUND!

Geothermal heat pumps will keep the place nice and toasty. Steam will rise from the roof that will be shaped like a manhole cover. Section 21 will be rebranded "the sewer rats."

People could be standing on top of the stadium and hear it, but not see.

Your land - your right.
My problem, at the time, was that I just wasn't Imperial ENOUGH to afford a lease. Until I could. Which solved that issue. Now I just don't hunt anymore.

But, back to stadiums and such. It seems that, like me, you would have been more than willing to pay the extra 0.25% sales tax and 3% lodging tax for this stadium upgrade project. If the Fargodome crew starts up a GoFundMe for stadium upgrades and such are you willing to chip in? Can you get some neighbors in too?

LOL, yeah I can't understand why any Bison fan was opposed to this. Other than those that hate the idea of a convention center, or think voting no somehow meant a new 50k stadium gets built now instead. Pure stupidity.

[The_Sicatoka]

The logistics on this just (in hindsight) weren't favorable:

- new tax
- special election (not general ballot) <-- "motivated" folks show up one issue ballots
- property tax statements come out day before

Put it on a general ballot next cycle (or when eligible) as "another box to check" and I bet it passes.

It was something like 52% YES and 48 or 49% NO. Don't lump us all into the NO crowd. I consider Fargo fairly progressive. If they could somehow remove a part of the Red River and annex us into Moorhead, Fargo would fit into Minnesota quite swimmingly.

When we had the dry patch of weather fairly recently and the Red was so low, I could almost walk/wade across it to Moorhead. We live close by the banks. Several beautiful Bambi were staring at me. Love deer.

[1998braves64]

Not sure why an outdoor stadium couldn't go where the rugby field is located. Outdoor stadium isn't going to be higher then the dome.

No but there are restrictions to putting it there due to it being even closer to the main flight path of runway 36 I would think as far as a safety perspective not so much a height issue. Plus where do you put parking around that stadium if it indeed did fit? The only real available space is the grass lot to the north if that is even available.

Love hate relationship with taxes. I tend to lean conservative when it comes to $. Spend it on roads schools bridges military etc. but as I age there seems to be more programs that make sense.

I get sort of fed up with some though, finding out a lot of people take advantage of little to no oversight on liheap in our town. People getting half their heating bill paid for 9 months that clearly do NOT need the help because they have a nicer house than i do, have several vehicles nice zero turn lawn mower nice Kubota garden tractor side by sides. Can go on and on... They artificially keep their income low but still not sure how they can fall under the income requirements because their grown son also lives with them and his income is supposed to count as well.

Reading about it and it is one that has been identified as worst managed and likely is rift with fraud because states divy up the money but they don't care who it goes to because it isn't their money. Federal government apparently doesn't care enough to devote resources to double checking be because when is the last time you heard someone getting arrested for heating assistance fraud? Not to mention the optics on that would look bad if they did start doing it.

The reality is that you can always look at others and wonder how they have the things they do. Lots of it is legitimate, some of it is not. I guess I worry about doing what’s right for me and my family. That’s not to say that I endorse fraud or that it doesn’t influence my vote. Just that I don’t expend much energy on it because it just distracts me from doing what I need to do in order to be successful.

Build the whole stadium into the ground so you walk in at the top like Frisco. All you need are big sump pumps.That's honestly not that bad of an idea. Build a 1 story enclosed concourse & roof over the entire thing to hold in heat, use geothermal heat pumps and, as you said, giant ass sump pumps to deal with excess groundwater. Then it's just plumb the sewage into the und water supply and you're good to go!

Hypocrisy. I just think it's rich that people complain all over about Lakes(multiple threads, and in ANY thread he posts within), but yet the thread drift is far more distracting/disruptive. I pointed this out in the Lakes thread, but of course those that are the worst offenders will say BuT iT's DiFfErReNt, because it's much easier to point at someone else than consider themselves part of the problem. If you guys want to thread drift, I honestly dgaf because it affects me zero, but it's far less constructive than Lakes' posts that are, at the very least, generally on topic. I would rather read lakes post about something about the university than read the constant thread drift in every thread, but I guess I'm in the minority. I'll peace out and go back to not reading the board so the usual suspects can carry on their merry way.

Okay, I realize I am part of the problem and if it is causing you to not want to post, I won't post anymore. Not pouting or doing any drama thing on my part, I will just stop and make it more efficient and pleasant for the rest of you. :)

Please don't. Your input and views are appreciated here, especially on topics like the fargo dome.

Can't be. Those people don't have the courtesy to speak English!

You need to press #1 for English.

I really mean it when I say it's part of bville.......just as Lakes is.

This is the first time I posted about it...I can make it every thread to make it even to how Lakes is treated if you want :D

You talking about lakes is like him talking about UND. It never happens. LOL cough

This is the annoying thread drift I was referencing in the Lakes threads. This is far more destructive than a post from Lakes.

So - Just so I am following… You think that a fun little detour on grammar is “far more destructive” than constant, incessant posts about FBS and how all our recruits don’t have enough stars? If this is really your take, then I think you and I have a very different idea of what makes Bisonville fun and what is “destructive” in general…

I am not convinced you actually think that because I recall a pretty fun little detour about AOL and Yahoo chat very recently… just as an example… :)

Hypocrisy. I just think it's rich that people complain all over about Lakes(multiple threads, and in ANY thread he posts within), but yet the thread drift is far more distracting/disruptive. I pointed this out in the Lakes thread, but of course those that are the worst offenders will say BuT iT's DiFfErReNt, because it's much easier to point at someone else than consider themselves part of the problem. If you guys want to thread drift, I honestly dgaf because it affects me zero, but it's far less constructive than Lakes' posts that are, at the very least, generally on topic. I would rather read lakes post about something about the university than read the constant thread drift in every thread, but I guess I'm in the minority. I'll peace out and go back to not reading the board so the usual suspects can carry on their merry way.

Never once complained about lakes but good try. While you’re away find some cheese to go with your whine.

Against my better judgment, I am posting this.

My input on the FARGODOME is on a local app called "Next Door." If you are interested in my input on it, I have done a damn master thesis on that app (before the vote occurred). It was me against everyone else it seemed on that FARGODOME thread on the app.:uhyeah:
