Yes, Mr. Burgundy... IMO it was a "viewing of seats" rather than an open house. Dumpsters & pallets outside of the front door, dust everywhere ... but nice to get inside & "view" the seats, court, etc. & visit with friendly staff. It will be even better next time!
I was not there, but if the seats were not pulled out all the way maybe a sign could have been posted a few places around the court to say, "For those viewing seats, the stands are currently not fully extended so there will be more leg room and seats a bit closer to the court when we are done. I find it odd that it is Bison fans fault for questioning what has not been made clear. Most of us are not just fans, we are Teammakers.
SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier on NDSU intro video: "This is not meant to be North Dakota State's home game."
Why has it been forever since NDSU has had a video update. At the beginning of the project they had one once a month; despite them being somewhat boring with concrete and pipe installation and stuff like that. Now that it is near completion, there would be a lot more to show. Unless this is a whole secret reveal like the FD video boards. Either way, can't wait to get in there for a game.

Probably trying to preserve some of the wow factor, but the open house should have taken care of some of that too... That said people are just too busy, as showed by the 30 sec clips they did earlier they didn't really put much time/effort into those either other than a few.
