I think the shac is good enough but I agree it won't wow any of those conferences. If the place sells out regularly it might be but trying to build another arena until that happens is just silly. The capacity is just fine but it lacks suites and permanent seats. Curious if they could figure out a way to do that.
Elliig needs some minor updates but track updates aren't really that expensive

Sick of retyping the same numbers that are very applicable and realistic to the discussion. Reality is the dome is not only one of the best home field advantages anywhere in college football, its a great recruiting tool, is nicer than it was when it was brand new with a 100 year life span, has NFL caliber video boards, great coaching offices, and is right up our alley for mid major football attendance. Instead of discussing a pipe dream of a 600 million dollar indoor stadium we will never afford, I think we should focus on getting luxury suites and capacity towards 20-22k. That's a plan the dome can actually afford.
In the meantime we should discuss and push getting an IPF built, which will be the ultimate recruiting tool and will set us up if we ever make a FBS move

They can add about 1200 seats which would take it to almost 20,000. More importantly, they can add suites and club areas. Preliminary plans are already on the table.

They can also remove the north press box and add seats and they have talked about party decks and sweets in the corners
These are plans the dome could reasonably pursue
Paying for a 600 million dollar dome that would operate in the red and put the Fargodome in the red is not
