Semi Enclosed stadium (keep wind out) and in FBS you Dont play at home past Nov 20...and your conference could agree to have you on the road the last week every year....so Nov 13
ive seen very nice days on Nov 13.
secondly. 4 corporations $50 millions each over 50 years (or 25) and they each get a corner to advertise/set up product etc
plus NDSU engineering/architecture students provide some assistance
this is so freakin easy
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Not so sure about the rest but this bolded part I do agree with. Not that much warmer on average down here in Twin Cities but Gophers have no roof. And they don't play here in December.

Yeah the weather for one game in November isn’t as much of an issue for me.
The funding is. Chaos that quarter of a billion you’re just adding to the top of already having to increase our budget to compete year in year out.
That cool quarter billion is more than our entire endowment.
Yeah, people need to stop it with the new stadium BS. You’re sending out a false narrative, which could actually make it harder to get an invite. Plus it isn’t even true. The dome would be fine.
Beyond the proverbial - and currently MIA - invite, the big $$ hurdles are scholarships and travel (assuming the IPF is done). Beyond that, it’s salaries. You’re not going to get that $$ from tuition, and you’re not going to get it through tickets, so you’re looking at the state, donors, and whatever extra you end up with by being FBS. The first one has obvious implications, but ultimately the state of ND has to decide if it wants FBS, and then maybe it can hope. Obviously it would be the Bison, since there is no rational argument otherwise. But there would be hard implications that some people would have difficulty accepting. There are very serious structural issues in ND Higher Ed that will loom large in the near future, and this is mixed in with all of that, unfortunately.
The big issue is the invite. All signs point to FBS breaking away, which would make it infinitely harder to move up, IMO. But the P5 appears to not like this idea, so maybe in the end they’ll agree to not be so obnoxious and spoiled, but who really knows … All NDSU can do is stay on track and create an environment that is attractive to 'bigger time' College Football. I am confident that this is what they are doing, and as fans we can help them out by not being fatigued ...
