Doesnt NDSU have a nice track of land in North Fargo by the interstate? or close to it?

NDSU owns pretty much everything from ndsu to county 20 with the exception of the airport. And over to 29 and across 29 at 19th avenue.

We need a football only facility with at least 30k capacity. We also need to move up.

Yeah I was told about it like 5-6 years ago when a conversation turned to the replacing the FD and they brought up that property as they could build there and not lose a down day at the FD.

I quite honestly think the best move forward is an entirely new stadium.

Where does that $400-500m come from now?

Precisely and if some taxpayers are skittish about a 1/4 cent sales tax....good luck. We have to be realistic.

Yep...............But what we have isnt too bad for the time being.

I watched that FARGODOME Reimagined video. It is 16 minutes long and well worth it to watch. Anyway there was someone on there, maybe from the FARGODOME Authority but he addressed the question of tearing the DOME down and starting over. Obviously he said no, it would be double or triple cost to build a new stadium but almost as important, he said the DOME is really something that can be renovated. in generally solid shape, and why tear it down? I don't know construction costs like you men types do but I would assume there would be enormous demolition costs, too. And I am a HUGE fan of the pretty detailed brickwork that is in some areas of the DOME. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater? Work with what we have. All of us here are NDSU grads and the DOME means a lot to us even if when we went to NDSU (or A.C. for some of you) we watched the Bison at Dacotah Field.

The Fargodome will make a great shell for an NHL arena in 20 years.

Disagree. We just had 7900 at a playoff game and 2nd round games, semis and quarters have averaged 13,000. That looks pretty bad in a 30k seat stadium. Have had 2 sellouts in 3 years. We need the upgrades so we can get back tp 19k

Someday if we move up we can build an outdoor but a 30k seat indoor will cost 750 million. Voters wont approve that and it woupd take a full 1 cent tax, lodging and private money. And then the dome still needs upgrades and convention space
