Potentially true can neither confirm nor deny

I hope it involves side saddle seats

At least then people would bitch about that than the SHAC

Going to replace the seats with aluminum benches with cooling so everyone that wants an outdoor stadium can get the full effect



I really hope people understand this is a joke

The purple font I always forget usually helps with this.

However I like where you are going there. Any other fake details you can share?

Me neither. I think that is only in a single section of the new stadium plan.

I believe England got rid of standing areas after around 100 Liverpool fans were killed. The video of that event is horrifying to see. Not gory or anything, just seeing something like that happen is awful. It looked to me like England got a wakeup call.

During UEFA and international competitions, in other countries they bring in seats at these stadiums. For example:

Signal Iduna Park (Borussia Dortmund) says it has a league capacity of 81K, but an international capacity of about 66K. Wikipedia says that Dortmund (and neighboring Schalke) bolt seats into place for the international games. Also Dortmund apparently uses something called rail seats. Bayern Munich's stadium holds 75K for the league, but 70K for european and international games. Wikipedia says they (and a few other clubs) have seats that fold away.

Here is what Hannover's stadium standing area looks like.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_s..._safe_standing

the wikipedia page for any interested nerds. But if its good enough for the Germans and the Romans, it's good enough for me. Gives the more rambunctious fans their own area to be, while the older fans can sit in other areas undisturbed by El Chapo constantly trying to pump it up.

Last but not least, a funny video of an event that occurred recently in a Dutch stadium (in a standing area it appears).

I dont think it will make its way to the US in a meaningful sense, but it has carried on in first world countries even in their new stadiums.

Great info, I also had thought all european stadiums went all-seater after Hillsborough. As an engineer I cringe every time I see Wisco students doing Jump Around. Just like I cringe every time I flush the urinal in Scruffy Duffies the night of the FCS championship game.

It's not designed for this!!

NDSU mentioned in this article but it more points to the MAC schools not wanting NDSU unless they are FBS. Does NDSU bring more value to the MAC than the negative geographic footprint? I just don’t see a MAC invite coming anytime soon. Plus our media deal dwarfs both the MAC and CUSA!

Kelby Krabbenhoft corner of our new stadium?
Dots on other end
Aldervon on other

I want FBS so bad I'm willing to do MAC or CUSA at this point.

FBS always and in all ways Chapo. Don't care where we go, just get us out of pudville.

Multipurpose semi-enclosed tri-oval seats 80,000. pretzel money plus partnership with RRV Fair and World of Outlaws. Pump it up!

Anyone know the new (draft) NCAA constitution well enough to speculate on whether FBS independent will become easier? Guessing you won’t need a waiver ;)

It’s interesting that the lesser independents out there have survived as long as they have.

Probably not in the constitution. My understanding is that what they are doing with the changes is devolving more decisions to the divisions. So don’t know what that means for independents for sure but if I had to guess I think that the conferences will get more say in DI decisions which probably wouldn’t be great for independents.

I thought it was divisions but maybe I misread it

Guiding mantra should be don't take a downgrade in media deal I guess

Thats right. They’re giving the divisions more control as opposed to the central office. My interpretation of that is that for division I that means the conferences will end up with more control over what the DI rules are.

Interconference heterogeneity seems to work fine at the FCS level (NIL, COA, playoffs, …) but I’d be shocked if it flew in FBS.

Here’s another bold prediction – After this new constitution passes, FBS (that’s right, FBS, not P5 … that unicorn lives 20-30 years in the future, if at all) will set up a governing body and all independents will need to formally 'apply'

I seriously doubt UMass and UConn make the cut, nor should they. That’s why they are desperate for a conference. NDSU, on the other hand, is a different beast entirely …

maybe the better question at this point is how long will it take NDSU to get to 20 FCS championships?

Not to break your heart, but those funds are already planned (scholarships, programs, faculty, academic facilities).

Now should I really break your heart? I learned about "In Our Hands" before it was announced, when Steve Swiontek told me he was making some adjustments to his committed responsibilities so he could co-chair that NDSU effort. Broke my heart when I learned my time working with him would go down. Steve is one of the best people you'll ever know.

UMass to CAA? Would be a good move for them to drop down. Interesting hire when you look at his history with the program.

UConn surely can’t be that far behind …

Plus, roughly a third of that is in future gifts, not cash in hand....

you guys are no fun, the point is . If NDSU needed MONEY to fund a MOVE of ALL SPORTS to a FBS CONFERENCE we would fundraise it in weeks.
