I noticed cracks in the floor when I checked out the building in it's first year. You couldn't see through them at the time, but they definitely were noticeable. Twenty years later, you don't see anything similar in the Fargodome concourse or the concourse at Newman Field.

Yeah was it built poorly from the start? Since I am always on the north side of town scheels arena seemed to just pop up over night a couple years ago maybe they worked too fast didn't do enough to prep work to deal with this ever changing red river valley clay. I agree with road I saw minor cracks the one time I went into the building around 3 years ago.

No worries. If the arena seems like it was built rather hastily, they're making up for it with building the practice ice sheets.

That's not built on red river valley clay.... it's built on a silt layer that runs through town... with drift wood and calm shells in it ... I have only been twenty some feet deep in that area so I don't know what's under that but that's what's under their concrete

it shouldn't matter what is under there for soil if they had adequate and properly placed pilings with heavy enough footings and strategically placed expansion joints, UNcontrolled cracking like that would never happen. In my experience, this is all on the engineers failing to identify these soil conditions and and design accordingly.

Wtf are you saying it doesn't matter or does it? Make up your mind.... it was a ill thought out project....
