$80 seems very cheap to me. Isn't a more realistic price $200+?

Winnipeg spent $200 million on a 33k seat stadium that can be expanded to 40k. I guess they would be our outdoor stadium model since it also seems somewhat enclosed...

Our conference won't schedule us in last week, or just maybe we could be known for being a tough ass team in a tough guy town with a tough ass defense!!

We actually don't need a new stadium for the first 3 to 5 years WHEN we move up. Sell outs @ FargoDome would be @ the top in actual attendance in the MAC and Sunbelt.
Ideally, we need a 35,000 seat stadium soon thereafter.

The Sunbelt Conference for football only is not absurd as it sounds @ first blush. It's 5 dates of more jet fuel and travel expenses. However, NDSU gets a share of Sunbelt TV contract. And increased opportunity to play an SEC team in a nonconference game.

You are assuming a lot. I would not risk the future of NDSU on your prognostications.
