On a somewhat related note, UNI is finally replacing its turf (that was significantly damaged almost immediately after its installation). The seams in the old turf were terrible and even the endzone lines weren't "square."

I had the opportunity a few times of being on the turf for a few of our events (USA Wrestling) at the UNI-Dome. From the concourse, the field looked good. From floor, there were noticeable tears (not just in the seams) all over the place. This was a huge need for UNI to help prevent injuries.
Hail the BISON!!!
Anyone know if the seating issue was ever addressed? Passing through town tonight and want to attend the game, but trying to figure out where to sit before I get tickets

We can have both. The new Indoor practice facility will be paid for with private funds and the big money donors want to put their names on buildings, not on coaches paychecks. We're not talking about a 100 million dollar project here
If we don't improve our facilities and the competition does, that means we are as Bohl would have said "you are either green and growing or ripe and dying"
It's not like these blue collar kids are gonna be like, yeah it's just too nice

Join the Green and the Gold Collective to take Bison football to the next level. Starts at $10 a month
The Green and The Gold Collective is excited to announce our #DriveToFive membership campaign. The goal of this campaign is to get to 500 monthly members. Reaching this goal will help us provide financial support to NDSU student athletes, including every returning member of the football team that saw action on the field last year!

I don't think we are in disagreement here. We have a priority list and that is lower than some of the other things we have done. I used to play rec league softball at the diamonds off of 17th avenue where the NDSU women play. In fact, we used to actually play on that field. I'm a lefty so that short wall in right was a guaranteed double every time I was up.
The university in the last 15 years has added a track facility, a softball facility, a brand new basketball arena and remodeled Dacotah Field as a soccer facility. The bubble is good enough and I hardly think a recruit is going to go "nah, no IPF, I'm going to UND!" All that said, we will eventually get one and then what will we complain about?
