I recently saw a shot of the Fargodome and remembered some discussion a while back regarding the total square footage of the video boards and how that number stacks up to ANY of the other college football stadiums in the country.

Now, I'll reference the site where I'm pulling other school's board information from, but I don't know if these school have secondary boards (or multiple boards as the FFD does. So, this "bragging point" may not be 100% complete. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that that dang Fargodome has a shit ton of HD video.

This website lists the top 25 sized video boards in college football. (Again, all of the boards in this top 25 list feature just one board. I gotta believe that some of these facilities have secondary boards. Certainly, many big time stadiums have ribbon boards that circle much of the their upper deck facades. That being said, no ribbon board displays (including NDSU's; will be represented in the total square footage listed below).

NDSU: North End Zone, South End Zone, SW Corner, SE Corner, NW Corner, NE Corner, Backside of North End Zone, Backside of South End Zone:

8,112 total square feet.

Even if only the 2 primary boards in each end zone were compared, that combined 5,900 square feet would rank at #7.
