    I dont find the thought of attending FB games in below freezing temperatures very appealing. I am sure it would kill a lot of fan attendance.

    Plus I sure like the A/C during the early games.

    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.

    Ha ha! But the Gophers did exactly that! Of course they moved back on campus with the same brush and I think that was huge.

    I don’t know what their attendance looks like by week. If only there were a way to find out...

    Nice work Vet. Obviously they draw on a large metro population with many alums but I wonder what those numbers would look like if they put an NDSU like product on the field. Maybe we’ll find out soon.

    I drove up to Fargo every weekend last December since my ManCave2.0 project was not yet ready for prime time. I’m not sure I would have done that for the MSU and Colgate games if it was going to be topless but who knows? I get pretty rabid by the start of December...

    Fargo is just stupid cold. We need a dome. The old football highlights are great to look back on but I never want the game to be more decided by the weather than the product on the field.

    The Gophers were pretty excited to move to the Metrodome. Claimed it would help recruiting. I'm not sure if it did, but it does seem they took a step back when they moved into TCF.

    Vet's numbers are deceiving because that was announced attendance. Actual butts in seats only averaged 22,656 for 2018. 5 out of 7 games were less than half capacity.

    Well, "To Be Fair" () it wasn't "Vet's numbers" that were deceiving.

    You're right, poor wording on my part, sorry.

    Not a problem at all, just being a smart ass. The article you relied on was more accurate.
