Population of Fargo in 1990 was only 75k. I was a kid when the dome was being built but I dont think most people thought the metro would be 250k by 2020 and NDSU football would move up to D1 and someday beat Iowa, Kansas State, The Gophers twice, Iowa State, get ESPN College Gameday, and yes win 6 National Championships, which is even better than our run in the 1980s and early 90s. When I was a kid they were talking about D1 hockey. Not a single person on the planet would have predicted the last 15 years.
