Quarter million metro is plenty big. 686k within a 100 mile radius. 2 major interstates intersect. Not enough hotels? We had enough to host 4 straight Garth Brooks sellouts which drew 73k. Within a 2 week period we host the largest wrestling tournament in the world, a fair that draws 140k, a street fair that draws 150k and a 30k person airshow every other year
Not sure what gives Sioux Falls alumni diversity. Minnesota has the most alumni from all 4 Dakota schools, but Fargo borders Minnesota
Sioux Falls has the better arena, but the dome has a basketball configuration. Its not terrible when its a good crowd. The last game played there was in 2010 and it drew 10,700
