    Coughlin Alumni Stadium for cloudy, windy cold October 1 PM game vs Indiana State drive to Brookings and back in Sioux Falls in the same day.



    You choose. Just looked. Brookings is 20 miles closer to Mpls opposed to Fargo...but it "takes" 20 min longer to get there. What a long shitty drive on 2 lanes through towns. Ive done Minneapolis-> Fargo in 2:50 but you need to hover around 83 with no stops.
    Didn't know the Frisco Cruiser could stay intact at that speed.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    Must be my fear of driving a vehicle with a Colorado license plate outside the state and being assumed to be a drug mule - looking at you Kansas.

    We have to pay for our potholes somehow and pulling over the resident meth heads can be dangerous.

    Looks like Zack Johnson's family is doing their part to help make this game a sellout... Zack's Mom has bought 143 tickets so far

    NO it WONT!

    NDSU isn't getting money from Tickets or Concessions (I didn't know about the tickets, but 10000% concessions going to Twins, NDSU gets 0 take of it... which was horrible negiotiating.)

    Twins made $2 MILLION off St Johns/St Thomas, they'll make $5 Million off NDSU game.... Pohlads are greedy bastads.

    It is their $550M stadium the game is being played in and they are paying Butler's guarantee.

    NDSU's payout is dependent on ticket sales. According to Kolpack's article from October 2016 that can be as high as $600K: https://www.inforum.com/sports/41435...r-target-field

    The Twins are taking over NDSU’s guarantee of $185,000 to Butler plus paying NDSU up to $600,000 based on attendance, Larsen said.

    So it's basically the same as an FBS game. With numbers like that, it would be stupid to not do this regularly during a 12 game season. But we dont know if the novelty will wear off in time

    17X National Champions: 65, 68, 69, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21

    Join the Green and the Gold Collective to take Bison football to the next level. Starts at $10 a month

    The Green and The Gold Collective is excited to announce our #DriveToFive membership campaign. The goal of this campaign is to get to 500 monthly members. Reaching this goal will help us provide financial support to NDSU student athletes, including every returning member of the football team that saw action on the field last year!
