The crux of the article is both teams had mediocre facilities in D2 and went crazy in D1 upgrades. Recruits used to go there and think what a shit hole. Not anymore. SDSU stadium rennovation, Dakota Dome rennovation in 2020, SDSU indoor practice facility and Stiegelmeier Family Athletic Center for football. Full cost of attendance was implemented. USD built the $73 million Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

Revenue increased.

So right now NDSU is at the top for an IPF. The Scheels Center was once near the top. Now it's in the middle of the league when St Thomas completes their arena.. The indoor track is in the top half but not in the same league as UND or SDSU. Newman is the best but nobody goes to baseball. Same is true of softball. The new outdoor track is impressive but underwhelming

The Fargodome is the best atmosphere when it's packed and games are close. Problem is it's rarely packed anymore and it has the worst amenities. It has no club seats to generate revenue and not enough space to expand food/drinks to generate revenue. It's not NDSUs building so the only way it is ever upgraded is by voting Dec 5th. We need an edge.
