You were probably walking down 7th St on the City Center side of the street because there is a bus stop there. So scary. Walk on the other side of the street or use 6th St if it bothers you that much to be surrounded by black people, er excuse me "gangstas".
Typical naysayers right now that always push down any good idea. Some saying the donors will be pissed...have you thought maybe some of the donors are behind this? Plus, if you won't support NDSU doing this, where do your allegiances lie? You are really going to get sour grapes over this shit so much that you would cry and not go? Please. Get over yourself. You not going only hurts NDSU...do you really want to do that? Fine, if you can't afford it, no hard feelings. Sour grapes is a BS excuse, especially when I know you drive all over PL. If you don't like downtown, stay in the burbs and take the damn train.
Seriously get over yourselves. You know damn well if NDSU schedules this game, some of you will be the first people starting the "Roll Call thread". Don't let your ego and selfishness get in the way of what might be best for NDSU and the program. Don't you at least trust that Larsen will look at the cost/benefit of doing such a game? You think he's going to be so shortsighted to not ask the donors? C'mon. Have some damn faith.
Not everything is sour grapes, ego or being selfish. Its called personal preferences. I dont care for FB in a BB stadium, I dont care to drive downtown MPLS nor do I like to spend a lot of time there, I dont care to jump on the trams in a big city.
Then to say if I dont go to the game it will hurt NDSU? LOL I thought we were going to pack the place?
There is also the issue or not of losing a home game. Of course I would not be in favor of that.
As much as you are bewildered that some arent jumping on this bandwagon I am equally bewildered at people wetting themselves over a FB game in a BB stadium. Put it in a FB stadium with a good opponent and you will have my full attention.

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.
