I hate this thread....
Re: Fargodome Expansion discusssion
Just posted this in the Fargodome Upgrades thread... don't know where it fits better..R
http://kfgo.com/podcasts/it-takes-2/...the-fargodome/
Executive Director of the Fargodome authority on KFGO talking about what upgrades they are hoping to get done.
Listen for yourselves but if I remember correctly he said a few of the following:
Remove the endzone press boxes, replace with regular stadium seats.
West side update- Larger renovated concourse, comes with bathrooms etc for Press.
South Side- larger renovated concourse, with new and/or expanded locker rooms
East side- try and get some club seats "with a view of the field"
North side: "hopefully renovate the concourse their too"
Larger convention space on south side- sounds like the "grand hall would be 30-50k sq ft
(this part I couldn't decipher) he said "an additional 80-100k sq ft meeting space. I'm not sure if this is in addition to the 30-50k exhibition space, or if that is all the support space need to have the exhibition space in the first place.
He also said this space would CONNECT the BSA to the Fargodome "three connected, climate controlled facilities". He never mentioned a skyway- which leads me to believe that they literally might all be one massive AF building.
He said the full convention space would be financed through motel/hotel and maybe even a restaurant tax if I remember correctly. The larger exhibition hall seemed to be a fargodome expense from what I could tell
Re: Fargodome Expansion discusssion
I am pretty sure convention space and exhibit hall space are talking about the same thing.
If a connection to the SHAC would ever happen, it would be with a skyway IMO. No way would they close 17th Ave there.
