NDSU to the FBS

[kab1one]

So with no fans allowed at games the TV ratings for the Alabama vs Ohio state game must have been through the roof. I didn't watch.

Ratings were down 27% I believe from last year.

Or something like this but fully enclosed with no retractable roof. Seat say: 32k-38 if needed for expansion.
Or even 28k-35k.

Don't know if anyone posted this, but Forsyth Barr Stadium in New Zealand would be pretty much perfect for the state of North Dakota. How about full sun and warm in winter?!
Seats slightly over 30K for Rugby

Those on the board who have criticized others on the board for criticizing ML's lack of interest in FBS have frequently said "how do even you know ML isn't pursuing or preparing for FBS".... This is how we know. What he says and does in public. He is anti-FBS, and that is a dumb and short-sighted position for the AD and the president to hold on to.

Or maybe the president is more concerned how he is going to keep the educational side of the school running and growing and the AD is aware of what he has to work with and they both think trying to make a FBS move is not the best thing right now.

interesting....it was hard to tell but it almost looked like traditional "outside, stadium seating" with a giant light roof over the top. Perhaps this is an answer to the "how do you build an enclosed stadium that is expandable" question.....add seats later as needed.

Seems like you would have a big heating and cooling bill with that roof.

Logistical and financial maintenance obstacles aside, this would be fucking awesome.

Ground source heat pumps and massive concrete slabs are your friend.

Can I be the one who is contracted out to clean the clear roof? Money money money!!!

Good wingmen, too.

In this lifetime I have been accused of that.
