NDSU looks at possible football game at Target Field

[Professor Chaos]

We will very likely take home $1,000,000 for a game against BUTLER, and we get a stage right in the heart of maybe our most fertile recruiting area. I guess I am not understanding why this makes you angry. We're not taking away EVERY game in fargo, we are taking 1 out of potentially 9 home games and making it over twice as lucrative monetarily as the Iowa game.

Actually they took away one of possibly 10 home games. There's still 6 regular season home games in Fargo next year.

But whiners gonna whine. (not directed at you MB)

This actually reminds me of the NHL games they play outdoor each year. The fans sit about 1.5 miles from the ice and the entire setup looks dumb as sh-t, hardly a decent seat in the house. Why wasnt this booked for TCF stadium on an off Gopher weekend instead. It seats 40K AND its designed to watch a football game. If your star struck by Target Field have the Bison Baseball team schedule a game next spring... We (bison fans) spend our time trying to defend ourselves as a D1 program but think playing in a baseball stadium is something special?? OH WELL I guess, may as well take all that Revenue out of the Fargo area and put it in the pockets of the Twin Cities businesses.

I can't think of anything more small-time than playing a neutral site game on the campus of another school.

Target is right in the heart of downtown, the weather will be gorgeous and the beer will be flowing.

Notre Dame plays in Yankee Stadium(Vs. Syracuse, recently Vs. West Point) in a couple weeks, I think they've also played in Wrigley(vs. Northwestern) and Fenway(Vs. Boston College) recently.

I don't think there is anything wrong with playing in a baseball stadium necessarily. Would be better if Minnesota had an FCS team or something to make it a big thing but such is life.

I thought they added an extra semi-home game, only for it to be played at Target Field. No games were taken away from anyone. Therefore, why anyone complains, is absurd. The only issue I would have is the extra toll taken on the athletes themselves, but with the new four game rule for Freshman, everything should be good to go.

Hopefully its a nice warm day so the infield gravel sticks to the sweaty players as well. Hopefully Twins players will autograph baseballs for all the participants of the game and put their arms around them for quick photo's to send home to MOM and DAD!!!

Dude. Really? You think this is worse than playing at Macomb? Is that a yes? What’s wrong with you? Are you just afraid of driving in Minneapolis traffic? If so then just get a room up in Maple Grove and Uber your ass downtown.

Lets be honest...the Bison football team would probably beat the Twins...at baseball.

Ouch!! Probably some truth to this though...

Most of the recruits will have watched SDSU and the Gophers play at TCF stadium that Thursday night. Not TCF baseball stadium either, TFC Bank Football Stadium!!! Under the lights and nationally televised. "JUST SAY'N MAN"....

Target field has lights. Pretty good ones too.

Doesn’t go to Maple Grove but you could take the bus from there. $3 or less per person.
