Fargodome expansion meeting, Tuesday, April 18th @11:30, City Hall

[northendzone]

Is this a Dome Authority, City Commission, or what group meeting? I don't see anything published about the meeting and wondering if it will be streamed online?

Thanks Matt Larson what a visionary!!!

You should type in braille so Matt can read it eh.

I am leaning more and more in this direction. I would think any kind of additional sales tax that doesn't include substantial seating expansion would be a non starter.

I agree. I support improving the dome in any way possible, but if its all cosmetic with no substantial increase in capacity, then we are just spending money to give the illusion of progress. Lipstick on a pig situation, big time

I dont know where to begin, some people in this town don't know how to think, it feels like that to me. I have been to so many events in indoor arenas and sat in corporate/business suites, those things are huge money makers, The amount of high profile events, corporate connections, high class women, wine, food and luxury those things attract is unimaginable. Fargodome is a effing cow shed now. Dear chairman please tear down those walls. Build a Fargodome 2.0, Tacomadome of the North.

Did you ever figure out where to begin?

The city is built like the suburbs pretty much everywhere but Downtown. The dome area has some potential since most college kids walk, as do Bison fans. We certainly dont have a parking shortage at or near the dome. A few more skyways and an athletics village could do some wonders

People can walk a bit from April through October, which is still about 60% of the time

I do like the direction were going with mixed use but you can only do so many of those. Although as land gets spendier they may be more common

Yes, this is mostly a function of land cost. As cities become more dense and have less available land, they tend to become more vertical. Parking decks are more expensive to build than parking lots, unless the land cost skyrockets.

I'm glad we still have lots of space to park and tailgate. Not everywhere needs to look like Minneapolis or Chicago.

I'm searching everwhere for this meeting and I dont see it. Not doubting that its happening, but cant find any record of this meeting except for BV.

Spending other people's money is always a good place.

I don't like losing open land around the Dome. Limits outdoor events like Ribfest. I'd like to see the numbers on a parking garage in T lot. Student parking on weekdays, Dome events on nights and weekends. Add extra MAT buses during events.

Nothing on the city's website regarding this meeting. I conclude it was a HerdBot dream.
