An outdoor stadium in Fargo would be a disaster. Late season games would never sell out. We have also been spoiled with a huge number of home games due to the number 1 or 2 seed for the play-off for the past years which gives us almost always 2 or 3 additional home games. These would be gone with a move up.
Or on second thought, let’s keep it open then some more season tickets would come available and most people would be happy. Immediately followed by closing it off so I’m nice and comfy!

Not sure if anyone has been to a game at Allianz Field in St Paul but the safe standing or wonderwall section on the south “end zone” is an incredible fan experience. Basically 2900 people put into what feels like half a standard football end zone. Anyway after seeing that setup it seems like the Fargodome footprint to get to +25k isn’t really the problem but the 1990 layout with a small concourse.
If the city is going to put a $50m type renovation plan couldn’t they just blowout the west concourse to develop a more traditional bowl on that side and go double wonderwall safe standing in the lower end zones. Need to make the expansion of the concourse big enough to hold the excess headcount. But it doesn’t seem like the foot print is the issue

Also add beer to the safe standing sections.
Look at the people filling seats now. There will be far fewer kids and people over 50 when the temp drops below 45 degrees.
It's OK to not be OK.
