Just talked to Megan at Rapid Park, she said they'll be opening up at 8am. I asked her twice, she said becasue of the circus in town, (I didn't know UND was in town playing hockey) they'll be opening early and all tailgating people are welcome at 8am! Yes, two and a half more hours to get primed for this game!

[IowaBison]

JUST GOT HOME FROM THE DOME. WHAT A GAME ............. THAT ALUMNI TENT AREA WAS NUTS. NEVER SEEN SO MANY BISON FANS+++++++++++

[Gully]

It was crazy, people just kept coming and coming (yeah, I know how that sounds). We need to tranfer some of that back to the FFD.

I've been to a lot of events at Metrodome....that was the "rockinest" I've ever seen the West Plaza, and that includes Viking games. The Bison fans were awesome yesterday.

[roadwarrior]

We waited at the door of Huberts for them to open at 11am yesterday, and the minute the door opened it was full of Bison fans!

HATS OFF TO THE BISON FANS JOB WELL DONE. LETS HAVE THIS AT HOME WITH CAL POLY. HOW WAS RAPID PARK?

Can someone help a lady here? Will the Cal Poly game decide the Great West Conference Champion? How does that work? If it does, November 11 should be one of the most crucial games in the Fargodome right? Or at least since we moved here! We have definitely fallen in love with Bison football!!!

Rapid Park was a rockin' Sambini!! The Battlewagon was out there in all its glory. TheSoCalledFan...hats off to you, thank you for the 16 gallon keg. Well done. Inside the game, Bisonfan1 and SDBison, great job. SDBison, you were awesome. From our seats we could see you getting people motivated all game. And also SDBison, thanks for the beer!

Go Bison!

NDSU has not yet played a Great West game. The next four games are the ones that count for the Bison. Cal Poly has already played three conference games and are 2-1. The Cal Poly game will be crucial for the Bison, but I dont think the conference champion will be determined until the final week (nov 18).

Our group made it to the Rapid Park. It was really kinda convenient... only problem was that I had to leave for most of it to pick up the tickets.

If it weren't for my in-laws, we'd have been complete amateurs out there.

[sambini]

Did you have a good time Tony?
