    Every time a pic like this is posted, I always catch myself marveling for minutes at other school's arenas thinking what could have been for NDSU. And it takes a moment to realize why I came here in the first place, sorry, but thanks for the heads up.

    Carver-Hawkeye Arena had to sacrifice a bit of their catwalk in order for their roof to support the new video boards.

    For the record, the biggest video boards I've gotten to work with so far in my career are those that belong in the FargoDome. For a school that lacks "F.U." money, they've done amazingly well. Too bad the SBoHE fights the schools so much from growing.

    Oh I marvel at the Fargodome every time I'm there. I'm looking at things at an architectural stand point. To me, it's like putting puzzles together and then staring at the one big picture or it was like putting model planes and cars together when I was a kid. I loved putting it all together, all the intricate parts, and then marveling at the finished product for years no matter what age has done to it.
    Arenas such as Hawkeye arena has a nice cohesion to it, no space seems to be wasted, the bowl seating seems to bond nicely, you mentioned the scoreboard, visually it's very cohesive.
    The Fargodome is a very nice building especially for its age, for the cost, efficient use of space, design, etc........but again, sorry for the thread drift, I'm a little OCD, when I go to a major city, I stare at skyscrapers for crying out loud and figure how many stories are in each building. I'm also bored. No football, baseball is at its boring stage, Masters is meh, spring is abnormally cold, the kids are crabby, and what have you...

    The amount of renovation they did to Carver-Hawkeye Arena recently is amazing. Compared to when I competed here in 1999 at the National Duals, the inner parts of the facility is awesome. Then again, looking at what happened recently to the old BSA, I feel pretty good about direction of NDSU too.

    I would like to see it in person, like I said, I'm fascinated with architecture. How did you do at National Duals? Didn't you do something after college wrestling too in GR or something? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
    I don't want to get started on the BSA/SHAC thing again...

    Saw this as I was waiting for my flight out of Cedar Rapids. I wonder if Coach Klieman has connections to the company.
