I am confused...is this a DII idea or a FBS idea?
My Mom yells louder than your Mom.
They have already said that the opponent might not be that good. Couple that with the game being in a baseball stadium and you try to compare it to the National Championship game and playing a Big Ten team that was #13 in the nation? Those are huge events and not in the same universe.. This really isnt that big of a deal. IMO
Youre also betting on the come and Target isnt doing this for free. The only reason they are doing it because they will get a huge percentage. They wont lose money. NDSU?
You can go to the cities any time. But you would rather have the cities capture that discretionary spending money instead of Fargo?
The opponent will be the deal breaker.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Fargo and NDSU does not capture this money anyways. Just about everyone that comes to a normal Saturday game in Fargo is within a tank of gas and no need for a hotel room. Haggies in Mapleton will miss our $30/person because we stop there for supper and drinks on the way home. Yes a game in Minny will cost me more but I will be there. Game in frisco I will be there. TM fees would not change because of a possible only 5 home games. Expand the brand and capture more of the regional market. If demand continues to grow the sooner a bigger stadium.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
any examples of business's closing up shop because Fargo hosted one less Bison game than scheduled?
It seems to me that NDSU's long-term plan involves expanding into the Twin Cities media market. What better way to show media guys that NDSU is a valuable commodity than by selling out a game in MSP?
I don't understand the negativity at all.
One of the main reasons that NDSU got Gameday was that NDSU's fanbase caught ESPN's eyes multiple times. If this game happens, Bison Nation will step up, sell that mother out, take over downtown MSP, and generally make itself known. Not to mention that MSP is a huge recruiting area, not just for students, but also for alumni donations.
