Dome Upgrades

[NDSUstudent]

And this will do what? Whats the ROI?

Are you kidding, suites and club seating are the major revenue generators for a sports facility. This is a huge pool of money that NDSU has missed out on.

Wifi and concourse expansion is more just keeping up with everyone else. The Dome is a dinosaur, really might not be worth investing a ton of money into but than I am not sure what the alternative is. The arena in SF kicks its ass in every single way, things don't get any better when you pull other facilities in like Winnipeg, GF, Duluth and obviously the Twin Cities.

"Mahoney was surprised the decision came down so quickly. He wants to continue focusing on city issues, like the flood diversion project, homelessness support, core neighborhoods and expanding the Fargodome."

This game epitomizes the fact the city needs to get on these upgrades like yesterday. The line going into the dome was long, cold and ridiculous. The lack of vendors is so bad, I went 4 hours without water or going to the bathroom. Sorry I'm not going to miss an entire quarter to buy some shitty hamburger

Then after the game, my throat was dry AF and you can't buy a water because they close the vendors in the 4th quarter. Even the soda machines didn't work

How about selling water or soda at all the vendors?

Whoever designed this place thought it was a good idea to put the concessions next to the bathroom which created an Uber line that runs into each other with people trying to walk through the line

The experience is just really shitty. Imagine if another 1500 were in there

I buy 2 pops use the bathroom when I get in the dome one hour prior to kick off.. 2 min before the first half ends I head to the bathroom. No lines. Do my business. Wait for friends to show up by the front doors.. Talk about 1st half. Oh look the band just came off the field----time to head up to my seats. Easy peezy.

It was the worst I've ever seen last night but the one bathroom did have a major leak and they had to shut the water off. Complete coincidence that everywhere I stopped last night had a trashed bathroom. I swear.

2 bathrooms were down.

First world problems are a bitch.

Yeah because it couldn't be broke because it's an old outdated stadium.

Hamburgers? Where the F did you find hamburgers? There haven't been hamburgers in the dome for weeks. More than half the concessions were closed again for the biggest game of the year. They haven't had even ketchup or mustard out for the hot dogs the last three games. It's a total disgrace.

My experience at the Dome the last 2 weeks has persuaded me that things need to change, and in a hurry.

1000s of people waiting in line to go through detectors well into 1st quarter;

Concession lines, options and service is/are terrible;

Restroom lines during halftime are crazy (and resulted in a half-full Dome for JMU’s opening, scoring drive to start 3rd Q—>basically took the crowd factor away);

Does not appear anyone is in charge of anything, and no one is monitoring what is going on. The long entrance lines should have been addressed pronto last night, but Nope. There were no supervisors or in-charge people to be found, and the workers could do nothing but status quo.

What’s going on at the Dome for gameday right now is a joke. Things need to changed/improved before next season. NDSU rents Dome for games. NDSU officials/admins had better start the discussion like now.

The closed concession stands could be the overall worker shortage. Lots of restaurants are closing early, opening late, or closed some days.
