My family is attending our first basketball game on saturday night. I am wondering how early before the game one should arrive so that we don't miss any pre-game show/introductions/etc... Also what is the best parking area, I am thinking Fargo Dome lot and entry from north side? My Daughter had a knee surgery and is in a brace that makes long distance walking a bit of a challenge... we have a temporary handicapped parking permit... I might try for the southside of the SHAC.
High School volleyball at the dome this weekend. Not a parking problem, but $5.00 to park. I would drop your daughter by the south door and then park somewhere on the south side.
You shouldn't need to show up very early at all. Maybe get there at 4:45. The intros/anthem don't usually start until the top of the hour. That said, if you haven't wandered around the SHAC for a bit it might be good to get there early and check it out if your daughter is able.Quote:

Even earlier this year the Celine Dion concert at the Fargodome on the same night as a basketball game made getting from the interstate to the SHAC a half hour affair. It looks like there is the State Volleyball Tournament (class A and B) at the dome this weekend so you might want to consider parking west or south of the SHAC.
All good advice. Only real hassle is when events are going on at the Dome at the same time (screw you Celine Dion).Quote:

Something smaller going on at dome, still park north of SHAC in Dome lots for $5. Maybe head out 15 minutes early.
Celine Dion at the dome, take alternate route. Avoid exiting off 12th or 19th avenues. Come up through Fargo and approach SHAC from the east instead and park in the neighborhoods east of University and walk to SHAC.
Parking south of SHAC is pretty limited. Never had much luck finding parking there. I must not show up for games early enough.
Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about eating at Herd and Horns prior but wonder how packed it will be with the football game going on...
Pretty sure all the bars with restaurants will be packed for this Bison Football game.Quote:

I'd roll in 15-20 minutes early if she has a bum knee.Quote:
