    I was going to make this point as well but I think the unique nature of NDSU and how it has leaped on to the national stage balances it out a little bit. When people find out I'm from Fargo, their first association is with the movie, they are also surprised to find out that it is quite a bit larger than they thought.

    I was wondering the same thing. That gave me a good chuckle.

    No offense to the zoo, but they should have listed Bluestem instead. That venue is a local gem, IMHO.

    How true. I am going to my first concert there this Thursday. Nothing like it in the upper Midwest.

    They are hosting larger shows on the hill on the backside of the venue now too, which takes away the need for seats. Kind of a unique idea.
    check neg rep

    Warning: It is the offseason. Trollolol may or may not be in full swing. Take a deep breath and eat a trolli burger before reading my posts.

    I've been to a couple concerts there. Not a bad seat in the place really.

    We'll be there too. We've been to a few concerts out there and always go for the reserved seating.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    College towns are small with the college being a big, if not the biggest part of it.
    When I lived in Columbus, it always felt like a small town on game days.

    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.
    Athens, GA is really a great town, especially when classes are in.
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    To be fair, I avoided that part of town like it was on fire on Saturdays.
