There would be cold November games but you also aren't going into a hanger on a perfect September day either, so there is a trade off. An early season game under the lights would also kick ass. The more I think about it the more I want it, go FBS and go outdoors. Screw the city, do it ourselves.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
The metrodome was paid off and it was leveled. It is a very flawed facility, if NDSU went outdoors the city should be a Sioux Falls type of arena. It doesn't really need a dome. Renovating it is a complete and total waste of money. Current stadium design is so far from where the dome is, it isn't just amenities, you have a tomb like facility that has zero natural light with all seating on the same level. It is outdated to its very core. Building it was a great decision and it has served its purpose but the future should be looking at a new facility. That said we don't do things right up here, so we'll slap some more lipstick on the pig just like the SHAC.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
The Metrodome lost a ton of money every year so it was a blessing to put it out of its misery. Plus they had a over a billion in revenue to work with and it was actually a smaller building than the Fargodome by materiels. No roof. Smaller concourses than the Fargodome. The Fargodome is vastly superior to the K Mart quality and design of the metrodome.
The Fargodome is a profit machine and it generates more visitor spending than 18 out of the top 20 counties in North Dakota combined. You really think it would be smart to tear that down? What give USA Wrestling to another city? Were talking 7,000 wrestlers plus parents and coaches. They wont fit in a basketball sized arena
Quietly Scheels Arena has had 10 concerts this year while the Fargodome is trending for a surplus again and is booked with smaller events year round. Where are they going to go? In the new building? No you build a stadium similar to the one in Sioux Falls and have 3 great venues
Then NDSU can build an outdoor stadium someday

There won’t be a new stadium in any of our lifetimes…anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot….
I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant - B.Aud
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
So, doubling down on “idiot”?
Say whaaaaaaattt? Smaller concourses? Then just how the fuck did we manage to squeeze 55,000 in there regularly? I want to see you coax 55,000 willing participants into the Fargodome concourses and have them pay $50/head for the privilege. You been taking trips over to Moorhead? Or to Scotties barn?
The baggie was dogshit compared to what is in its place. No argument there. But inferior to the Fargodome? In any possible way? Uhhh, no. Just..., no. Put down the crack pipe Homer.
* Disclaimer: I was behind home plate** in 1991 for game 6. That is the only bias I bring to the table.
** in the stands, not on the field. Don't be ridiculous.***
*** I don't really have my own schtick so I need to appropriate from others. Thankfully, TAB has generously agreed to allow me to borrow the footnote. So far. I think. At least, I have not been served yet...
Don't believe everything you think.
