Please keep the Teammakers organization out of this discussion. Teammakers is a totally volunteer organization that raises funds for athletic scholarships. Period. It has an executive director, Pat Simmers, that is also on the staff of the athletic department. The facilities are under the direction of Athletic Director Matt Larson and Asst. Athletic Director Todd Phelps. All building problems should go to them. As far as tickets. Direct your problems to Josh Hemmingway, ticket manager or Pat Simmers. Terammakers do not deal with these situations, they are only concerned with trying to raise over $5 million for scholarships.

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.

Just calling you out PL. You look like the fool and NDSU looks worse everyday for a lame design for the SHAC basketball court. It is so bad people don't even want to sit in the seats (could be a good thing, but then would have to figure out a way to make fans cheer). If NDSU is going to make sure the builder understands the extent of the problem, and possibly some liability for the cost to correct it, it would be helpful to have 1000 plus season ticket holders document the level of discomfort in a common format or survey. Might also help get it right the second time.
Yes, I went to a game back in December. I gave up on sitting after 10 minutes and stood at the railing above to watch the rest of the game. In my opinion the seating area is a poor design, and specifically the lack of leg room is a major fail. The rest of the facility, weight room, practice courts and offices look real good.
I have not made it back to Fargo since football ended. Budget tight as going on 5 months as an unemployed project manager. I wonder if NDSU had a project manager involved to be sure things got done right, on time and within budget on the SHAC? If crap like the seating issue happened on a project of mine not only would I be answering to how this could happen, but I would be involved with making things right. This would include going out and gathering information on exactly what went wrong, and making interim and long term fixes. Seems in this case interim fixes have been made, but curious what the long term fixes will be.
