    "The Fargo Dome Authority Board voted unanimously in favor of the plan, with board member Nancy Jordheim absent. The plan was originally said to cost $7.5 million to $9 million. It would be paid through a 7-to-10-year bond."
    When were the current fairly new boards installed? Including a whole new video control room?? Is the problem that's not being discussed?

    Does anyone know if the POSTS (Not the giant concrete corners) with the screens on them provide structural support for the roof or something? Or are they disposable?
    Not sure if you forgot the purple or not...

    The green “posts”/corner supports that the 4 corner video boards are attached to are load bearing and support the roof. So no, they’re not disposable.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I was saying if we remove the columns, the roof would collapse, then we would have an open air stadium

    Nope wasn't purple. It was a regular question. Thank you for answering in the most condescending way possible.
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    Unfortunately some of us have been subject to the same ideas/conversations/gripes/etc many many dozens of times. So when the same thing comes around that has been beaten to death we don't always take into account that the person bringing it forward might not be aware of previous conversations. Also, there are a few hot button topics like dome expansion that get thrown out simply to rile people up. You just happen to find the golden ticket with your comment.

    Hahah you're correct. I recall people asking if the giant concrete pillars could be moved or cut into or whatever (the giant concrete corners) but couldn't recall if the green posts were essential to the structure of the roof.
