    More love for the Bison. Our tailgaiting scene is truly awesome, our fans are passionate and knowledgable, and everyone loves a winner. It's always an ego boost to have football fans from around the country claim Fargo as a college football destination on their bucket list.

    All but 3 teams in that list are in Power 5 conferences. The other two are Notre Dame and Boise State.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    TBH I loved Missoula as a town, the smoke not so much.

    Pretty cool to be the only FCS school on list and no Gophers or Cornhuskers. Did the fans that went to the Iowa game do the wave or is that something since 2016?

    Minneapolis, while a good city, isn't really a college town. It's a different vibe around Dinkytown but still feels too "in the city" to be separate. I'm surprised Columbus is on the list. That's probably the best place I've lived since I left Fargo but the campus also doesn't really feel separate from the city.

    College towns are small with the college being a big, if not the biggest part of it.

    Back in grad school, I had conferences in several of those towns (State College, Blacksburg, and Ann Arbor, plus I lived in Iowa City at the time). Always had a great time, and I think I enjoyed those trips as much or more than the conferences in big cities (San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans, etc).

    I'd argue the fargo area is too big to be considered a college town when theres much bigger universities out there in much smaller towns compared to fargo/ndsu.

    Theres tons of p5 schools in towns the size of moorhead/west fargo. None the less adding fargos sprawl in there...ndsu is a dot on the map.
