And then on the other end make it entirely glass so some natural light can get in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is more what I meant. I realize curved seating isn't going to happen. But seating in one end zone and then glass on the other would be pretty sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UNDColorado Posted February 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think a good start would be a better sound system. 2000 is a long time ago and I imagine this system has been in place since then. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Michigan uses Chelsea Dagger after every touchdown. So I would more so look at it as copying them since its football. But if you want to make it a hockey thing....

So their logo could look like Nebraska's. Instead of red just sub in yellow and Farmers instead of Huskers and boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Although glass on one end and seating in the other end zone would be spectacular upgrades, it is quite the pipe dream. From a realistic perspective, I would say: 1) NEW sound system 2) New turf with fighting hawks logo at midfield and end zones -- this could become reality in a few years as the Big Sky logos will also need to be replaced by MVFC logos 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We join the MVFC in 2020. I would anticipate the Alerus waiting until then to install new turf. Still relatively new. Hopefully when they do replace it the 3rd times the charm and the Alerus decides to put in a midfield logo that IS NOT the Alerus Center logo but the Fighting Hawks logo. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it will expire in 2021. Also, I guess I didn't realize the Alerus Center changed their logo. Ironically one that features "bird wings" in the A.
