Just wondering in someones opinion (looking at you Imabison) which way would maybe be a better choice ? time/traffic etc
the answer is yes, you would come south on University and then have options.
1. Park in the CVS lot and walked south on Univ or Albrecht.
2. Drive past 19th Ave and enter the Fargodome from the front.
a. then on exit you would have 2 options
1. exit to University and depending on which route you chose would determine if you were in the right or left lane to exit.
a. If going to 17th you want the left lane exiting from the dome go to 17th and east to 10th street and north back to 19th and over to university
and back north to I 29
b. If you go south to 12th ave you want to be in the right last from the dome to university and south to 12th etc.
The guy that sits next to me comes in and takes that route, he parks in the CVS lot and says it pretty easy to get
back on University and go north. He walked to Albrecht because he tailgates.

Yes I do believe they did. They pissed off Dave on this one he is now on right now with Chris Gabrial on 970AM talking about the same thing. I bet they are on time from here on out and not full of excuses.

He flat out said their contracts will change in the future. So they may not change but it will cost them. Dave isn't letting this one slide and he is like a dog on a bone when he wants to be.
Re: 19 th Ave construction
Change how? Most road projects have liquidated damages already, suppose they can increase them (before the bid takes place can't change it after because you don't like the contractor...) but then you run the risk of contractors not bidding because they don't want that much risk at losing that much money. City can't do much if they have the lowest responsible bid these are public projects so nearly impossible to eliminate anyone from bidding. Obviously if they keep getting LDs it would put them out of business eventually.

Yeah, seems like a lot of puffery from atop a soapbox. That or exposing the city to a hefty lawsuit.
