$33million of an expansion of a stadium like Dacotah Field. C'mon UNDnorthernBison. NDSU could have this easily and it's a shame there isn't talks in place right now

I'm still trying to figure out why you feel we would be ok with a outdoor stadium. I'm sorry but I believe a huge percentage of the fans today do not want to sit outside even in 45 degree weather. So where do you find 30k+ that will want to sit outside in the snow and wind? Those last 2-3 home games would be pretty quiet.
Well I think outdoor football is in our future, I don't see anyone stepping up to build another dome. It will just be way too expensive.Quote:

The open airy stadiums from the south that lakes likes talk about certainly won't cut the mustard up here.
Last year---How many would have been in the stands when it was 17 below and 20 plus wind?Quote:

Best TCF experience ever was 10 degree snowing blizzard game for Vikings bears. It was a blast!
@ Montana state game was cold as hell. NDSU fans tailgated like champs.
Build a $80 million 40,000 seat stadium in between the fargodome and SHAC. Put overhangs up high behind the upper deck If the wind is blocked it won't be that bad!!
In FBS the last games are November 10 or so.. Get over it people
