    I do actually like the NDSU font on signage, but something about it on jerseys isn't great...and the font on numbers isn't good IMO.

    Fall games start this Sunday 11:00. The schedule is up on the gobison website. Chance to see the field in person.

    Took a tour of the new stadium and field last weekend. Seriously impressive. It's going to look fantastic in ESPN come tournament time.

    What would it cost to put a bubble over it so it could actually be used?

    congratulations on the fine field!

    "What would it cost to put a bubble over it so it could actually be used?"
    the "bubbles" like used for soccer etc aren't able to accommodate softball games. The roof isn't high enough. A Univ. would need to build an actual dome.

    I think the field looks great! Some nice finishing touches would be . . . 1) planting some trees around the perimeter area. 2) putting an awning or short partial roof at the top of the grandstand for shade and/or wind block during the April games would give it the stadium a high end look. The chain link fence at the top gives it a low end look. Even covering the chain link fence with something like is used on the outfield wall would be a big improvement.

    It would have been really cool to have a mezzanine at the top of the grandstand with concessions, merch, enclosed/box seating area, etc.

    That said, great job getting this project done.

    To be fair, this was only phase 2 of 3 phases. Final phase next summer. Your mezzanine suggestion is cool, but that would cost millions.
