EDT: Fargodome Expansion Vote vs Old Man Yells at Cloud (12-5-23)

[GreenfieldBison]

They squeezed 55k people in concourses way narrower than the Fargodome because they had 2 levels of tiny concourses.

Did you ever go to a game there?

I was spat out of the baggie many times by the internal overpressure they kept it inflated. Was the game 6 ref completely lost on you?

In fairness, doesn't that basically mean that there's twice the space?

Your memory obviously fades after 34 years. Concourses were for midgets

My main point is they were narrower than the Fargodome. Technically longer but a dramatically worse experience than the Fargodome. The Fargodome would be a great experience with added concourse space, 100 yards of west upper level suites, club seating and corner party decks. Plus double the bathrooms

Another point I missed is the Metrodome had an awful parking situation. We are lucky with the Fargodome

The Metrodome concourses were a great place to Rollerblade during the winter months.

34 years? I’m pretty certain I watched the demo off and on from our 47th floor office in Wells Fargo Center. That had to be between 2014 and 2018. That seems like 10 or less to me.

You thinking I did not go in the dome after the WS? That is a faulty assumption.

It was indeed.

I will NEVER buy season tickets with an outdoor facility, but maybe that's just me?

DAMMIT!!! there goes that idea!

Fargodome looks towards 2025 budget

The survey is still not complete but they want more events in 2025 after a slow 2024. They are looking for ideas

How about try doing more outdoor events? People want to be outdoors in the summer. It doesn't even have to be expensive national bands.
