    Warranted or not, the AD is always the convenient scapegoat; but, whatever, "Sir, two Miller Lites please....."

    By definition a blaming a scapegoat is unwarranted.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    To your point I think there was a level of the Spiderman blame meme going on. FFD, City, University all pointing at the other two as the reason why it wasn't happening. But it was always going to have to start with NDSU expressing interest, IMO.

    That being said, the Fargo Dome Authority are already the beer police. I once had one of the Dome SS hand me a solo cup to pour my can out into because they wanted to REDUCE littering. That blew my mind for a week.

    Like stated, its a complicated process that involves a lot of pieces coming together. Looking forward to getting with the times, not looking forward to dome nazis new increased powers!

    I agree, you are going to cannabalize the revenue from other items a bit...still should be a net positive, but not a 100% of all sales will be additive.

    Also it will be a net positive for the Fargodome too, which is a positive. Bigger sales = Bigger surplus and more improvements

    Just need a Frisco cruiser replica as a decoy to lure them away from everyone else. Have it circle the dome but never park.
