    This isnt the point of the discussion- nor was it the point of your original post. but its really impressive how quickly you moved the goalposts once you realized you logic was trash to begin with. "look how shitty of a tourist destination Frisco is, so they appreciate us when we come" isnt exactly a point in Frisco's favor. by that logic, we should put it in the smallest possible town, with the absolute worst tourist economy with a stadium with 17k so we will be super DUPER appreciated.

    all things being equal, Orlando would likely be a much better destination. you can go just for the game if you'd like. And others can do a hell of a lot more if THEY want as well. And the stadium is markedly better, and larger.

    All things are NOT equal in this scenario, which is why it will likely be in frisco forever. the conversation was "what other locations would be fun or could work?". Sorry if that pisses you off somehow
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    We don’t really have trouble getting tickets and we actually know how to get in the stadium.
    The travel down isn’t bad and the town is welcoming.
    The only problem seems to be weather and game time.
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    You must not have gotten the text... a rowdy group of JMU fans are writing letters to the NCAA to get it moved. Not sure if they'll have as much luck as we did banning their streamers, but we best be prepared.

    Well it would be easy for lots of Bison fans to drive to Grand Forks.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    I agree. If you don't get bored with Frisco you definitely won't get bored with Nashville. People rave about Frisco and the food and clubs. Nashville would blow both of those out of the water. There is plenty to do in and around the city if you don't like the bars downtown. Check out West End or Franklin. Country Music Hall of Fame, Opryland Hotel, Grand Ol Opry, Hermitage and many others. Memphis is only a couple hours away and the Smokey Mountains are the other in case you want to tack on something new while you are there. I also think an event with 20,000 people coming to town will still get the attention of the hospitality folks.

    And if you look at the distance, it's basically a wash (5% different).

    Fargo to Nashville: 1118 miles
    Fargo to Frisco: 1072 miles

    Minneapolis to Nashville: 869
    Minneapolis to Frisco: 920

    I've been to Frisco twice, and I think it's a perfectly fine venue. They don't pick these with the expectation that the same team may be there every year so fatigue of one fan base is likely not a criteria.

    OK, Miami it is. Allegiant Air has direct flights to Mesa, AZ and Sanford/Orlando, Fl. so they would be OK too.
