Dome Upgrades

[bisonp]

You're right. I don't have kids so I really can't say anything about my plans on what I would do with them. In a perfect world I'd put my plan into action, but kids always have other ideas. I really want to have children some day, and I know the life I enjoy now would probably come to an end, or change drastically.

Okay, Okay............I admit that everything with my kids didn't always go as planned! What gave me away? Was it the 2 "dammits", the "or else", the "don't tell Mom", or the "that means you, buster"?



My oldest daughter, who started going to Bison games when she was about 3 or 4 yrs. old, is now in her mid-twenties, still goes to the games and is the biggest Bison fan there ever was!! If you keep at it long enough, everything comes full circle. She now has to keep the lazy & crazy old man on the "Bison Fan straight-n-narrow"!



Bison "Old Man" Checklist:

You see. We are Bison Fans for life! But we can never stop learning!



(Sorry for the thread drift. Carry on.)

All of the above!

We've tried to take both of our kids since they were born to as many as they don't start hating to go!

Football is going to be hard with only three tickets and have a single separated from the doubles so can't even buy a single game ticket..

So, according the April City Commission Agenda, demolition of much of the existing equipment in the Fargodome would be completed by the end of June. Any word on progress of the new video board system? Still on track for the August 19 deadline?

I can shed some light on this for you... They are pouring the concrete for the new control room July 1st. That will take three weeks to cure then the new equipment will be moved in to the control room.

None of the new boards will be installed until AFTER the wrestling tournament. There are plans in the works for production crew to do a "dry" run with all new equipment and video boards during a team scrimmage the week before the home opener for crew, players, and coaches to get acclimated with all the new technology for the upcoming season.

Also there will be new graphics technology for the video boards that will be intigrated throughout the season.

Hope this was informative for everyone!

Good info. Any word on what's happening with the old boards?

Going to a tin shed up north or a big round garage to the SE?
