    The origin of that napkin was a bisonville lunch meeting at the Turf about 10 years ago.

    Isn't the north press box used for half house events? Not sure they can just get rid of it.

    Sky bar will be west side, club seating although the south was originally discussed. But the Ferris wheel is dead

    Me too. Many of the thinks I got mocked for suggesting include things Rob Sobolik has directly mentioned, including party decks, gondola seating and club seating with a bar. They wont all happen but some will

    They were simply waiting until they had the votes. Tony Gehrig was the modern equivalant of Mike Williams. 5 votes, 3 needed. If I had to guess, Mahoney, Piepkorn and Kolpack are yes votes. Strand is unknown. Preston possibly a no. She's said the Fargodome would be a giant grain bin in the 90s.

    What happened was it was paid off a decade early, saved our city from a flood, contributed an average of 63 million a year in visitor spending, and gave Fargo the previously unheard of ability to host shows like The Rolling Stones, Prince, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Van Halen, George Straight, Metallica, Aerosmith, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Guns N Roses and AC/DC. it got us annual events like the largest national wresting tournament in the world. Not to mention is the home field of the greatest football dynasty

    The only time I've ever seen it used was for rodeo. Otherwise for like bball and such they always put stuff on the floor.

    Don't think it'll be too hard to make adjustments for the one event that uses it a year.

    Maybe a long time ago but they use the floor. It is just a waste of space.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    Isn't it obvious? Certain posters have convinced themselves NDSU leadership has a total lack of vision and is completely to blame for not being FBS. Anybody that posts factual information about the good things our admins have done or the reasons FBS conferences don't want us needs to be punished. I get the same, though fortunately green greatly outnumbers red.

    You have certain posters that love to hear themselves talk. Unfortunately its nothing more than uninformed opinion and misinformation. Sometimes its just down right lies.
    Try to bring facts and its shouted down because it doesnt fit their narrative.. So most of the good factual stuff gets shared through PMs.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
