    Naww. They've added vinyl numbers to the existing banners each year since the new ones were printed.
    Maybe they'll just squeeze the new year in the border somewhere..
    My hope since the banner is the size that it is and I'd really hate to see it get smaller, is that they will create 4 total for any going forward. Hang one on each side of the video boards. One side (north or south) can be DII Conference championships and DII National championships. Other side can be FCS Conference championships and FCS National championships on their own separate banners. I think it would be pretty bada$$.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    Personally, I don't like separating them out, like they do with the line and larger font now. Seems insulting to the old teams, considering that they were playing at a relatively similar level at the time.

    With a separate banner for each, they would each hold their own weight. It wouldn't make one any less than the other. In fact, by giving them their own, to me, it seems you're glorifying/honoring them more by giving them full recognition then if you were to keep them in smaller font and separated by a line all on one banner for conference/national championships. With them all being hung by the video boards, everyone would be able to see them at all times. There is a separation in titles though as they are in two different divisions. I think this would be a nice way to honor that.

    It would look like a hockey arena.

    Among any other reasons, the north end is already home to the flags.

    Raising the championship banner is pretty unique at NDSU when you consider that only 7 FCS teams have indoor stadiums that could even raise a banner to the rafters.

    And one would just use Garage door paint anyway but they have not had to worry about it.

    No sneak peeks of the new boards. All contractors had to sign a NDA.
    I tried tonight to get a pic from a friend who did the fiber, no joy.
