$33million of an expansion of a stadium like Dacotah Field. C'mon UNDnorthernBison. NDSU could have this easily and it's a shame there isn't talks in place right now

Baahahaha. The stadium was built in 1981.

The $33 million was the cost of an expansion in 2012.

Are you telling me that the facts were not checked and/or exaggerated? I do not believe you!

Does Dakota field seat 16k? That stadium did before renovations. the three tiered structure with premium and club seats was also done before the 33 mil reno.

EDIT: It was 17 mil just for the premium club seating complex in 2009.

I'm still trying to figure out why you feel we would be ok with a outdoor stadium. I'm sorry but I believe a huge percentage of the fans today do not want to sit outside even in 45 degree weather. So where do you find 30k+ that will want to sit outside in the snow and wind? Those last 2-3 home games would be pretty quiet.

Well I think outdoor football is in our future, I don't see anyone stepping up to build another dome. It will just be way too expensive.

I tend to agree with the point that outdoor football will have to be in our future but I am not convinced that people now or in 20-30 years who live with every convenience imaginable are going to want to be out in the elements regardless of the entertainment value on the field especially not 30k that will sit out in the snow and wind and worse.

It will be a culture change that is for sure if it ever happens, it will definitely separate the diehards from the bandwagoners. The Montana schools do make it work though, so I guess there is that. Although the weather here is a bit more extreme.

I wonder if you could build an outdoor stadium enclosed enough to keep the wind down, that would be the major challenge. I can sit out in 20 degree weather and feel fine but you get a roaring wind and well it certainly becomes way less appealing. The open airy stadiums from the south that lakes likes talk about certainly won't cut the mustard up here.

Last year---How many would have been in the stands when it was 17 below and 20 plus wind?
No need to build a bigger stadium if people arent going to show up due to harsh weather.

Best TCF experience ever was 10 degree snowing blizzard game for Vikings bears. It was a blast!

@ Montana state game was cold as hell. NDSU fans tailgated like champs.

Build a $80 million 40,000 seat stadium in between the fargodome and SHAC. Put overhangs up high behind the upper deck If the wind is blocked it won't be that bad!!

In FBS the last games are November 10 or so.. Get over it people
