    But that is just my opinion. I'm probably wrong
    Ok dont go then.

    Maybe it's not about you. Maybe it's about marketing to the 50K alumni who live in Minneapolis and college football fans who want to cheer for a real team.

    I guess, I'd just say that, Cleveland wasn't real high on my list either, but I visited there because I like baseball and the Twins and I wanted to get to all the stadiums. I've been to 28 of them now and for whatever reason that Cleveland trip is still near the top of the list. Places surprise you sometimes.

    On the other hand, Dallas, TX didn't surprise me in the least. At least the games in Frisco have been compelling.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I don't disagree with that. I'm just not excited to go to Minneapolis. I lived there for a year and I didn't like it. I've been to Target field plenty of times.

    If its not a good opponent I probably wont go. Ive seen my share of football in baseball stadiums and I dont like it. If youre that starved to see a Bison game then this game is for you
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    Well it has been 30k want season tickets, only 12k get, so there are 18k that are starved for bison football. Plus in looking at the lay out, would one sideline and endzone be right against the stands? So seems to me most of the seats would be good seats.

    Plus when you go to target field, US bank, you just go watch the big scene and drink beer. Oh hey, twins staduim, beer sales. Hopefully NDSU keeps concessions.

    Out of curisousity, where you watch all the football games at a baseball field?

    Off the top of my head Wrigley field, Milwaukee County Stadium, The old Met in the cities and a few more.,

    And no it wont be right next to the sideline. At least from what Ive seen there will be more space between the seats and sidelines that what you think.

    We will see how starved they are to pay inflated tickets prices to watch a tomato can.

    But hey you drink enough beer and you wont care what the sight lines are you can just watch it on the scoreboard.
