NDSU looks at possible football game at Target Field

We would likely have to split any revenue from this game with our opponent. Let's keep a home game instead.

South Dakota played in Sioux Falls. I don't recall that being the greatest thing for them. It was a good thing for us, but certainly not SD. This idea needs to stop NOW.

Why does it need to stop?

Are you afraid that South Dakota fans would come in droves and buy all of our tickets if we played them in the Twin Cities?

Are you really comparing Sioux Falls to Target Field? Or are you simply stating the game in Sioux falls needs to stop?

A. Don't think NDSU would be splitting any revenue.
B. To me, it makes the most sense to schedule a team from outside NDSU's recruiting area for this.

There is zero upside for us playing a game in the Twin Cities.

I agree. If anything, NDSU may pay a larger guarantee, but as a negotiating point, they could tell the team they are trying to get the game with that a charter flight to Minneapolis would be cheaper than to Fargo, so that could help NDSU keep the guarantee down a little bit.

A team like Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin, Liberty, Jax State, James Madison, New Hampshire, Montana, William and Mary, Chatty would all be good games. (No to Montana State for the 2013 buyout and no to Northern Arizona for the 2013 refusal to play us after the buyout)

So again...you are saying that because USD played a game in Sioux falls and it didn't help them therefore playing at Target Field is not helpful to NDSU? Omg. Wow.

IMO...I'd rather we play at us bank or tcf...but omg wow.

NDSU vs "insert crappy sunbelt team" at Target Field.

Gotta play a team from south so there is zero chance they use this game as a recruiting tool.

think about that.
