All scenarios have to taken in to account when considering expansion if possible or the construction of a new venue.

    But this is all nothing more than mental masturbation if the funding isnt there. Fact is if NDSU AD had 400 million dropped in his lap we wouldnt be having this discussion. Right now NDSUs hands are tied.
    It is mental masturbation because of the funding and the North Dakota thing of witch the legislature is a part of but NDSU doesn’t have much more handle on demand now than when the dome was built.

    The funding issue is just crazy in ND. I dont understand why they want to stifle growth. And if there is growth it has to be privately funded.

    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.

It's a wonder the Fargodome ever got built in the first place.......not possible 23,000 for concerts, no way Bison Football continuously sells out a 18,500 seat stadium!
    Those whose careers depend making such decisions know the numbers, maybe you should talk to them instead of villainize them first.

    I think maybe they should share their vision of NDSU's football venue for the next 25 years with the public. At least be honest. Sounds like it will be the same facility we currently have with 18,700 capacity.

    It’s always been that way. I thought it might get better when things took off around 10 years ago and we were actually gaining population but it doesn’t seem like it.

    Maybe if you actually talked to them, you would also know.

    Expert? No not at all. I just know what I know because Ive talked to those that do know.

    . You on the other hand dont have the smarts to know what YOU DONT KNOW so that makes you the blowhard.

    Blow-hard
    A person that is known to rant and rave about things. Their opinions are usually ignorant and lack evidence. The term comes from the literal meaning of "blowing hard". If you blow hard enough people pretty much have to listen.

    What is hilarious about this topic is whenever it is discussed it goes round and round and winds up in the exact same place every time .
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
