jimdahl Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 By building giant Sioux logos out of granite and so forth (I wonder if those are load-bearing logos?) maybe Ralph is just trying make sure it costs too much to change the name.That would be funny if it cost ฤ million to remove all the logos and names from the arena.GF Herald article about shrubberies: http://web.northscape.com/content....OUX.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 I think Engelstad's intention is to make it too expensive for UND to ever change the name. I'm beginning to wonder if Ralph isn't trying to make it too expensive for UND to ever take over the operation and maintenance of the new arena.

mrmedora Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 Who really cares if they are "load bearing" logos? The name isn't changing, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saark Posted October 6, 2001 Share Posted October 6, 2001 I was surprised to hear about the new 'blackhawk' logo coming back. (ive been out of circulation ofr quite a while ) I like it. DO they still do that cheesy speech about the sioux Indians before evey game? I think that is silly. I can't see why the Native Americans are offended when we are smart about it, and use the likeness in respect, and out of honour.... I have a lot of German heritage in me, and ... well... I guess thats not quite the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Just think how much it would cost if we were changing the state name! University of Dakota instead of UND! I really hope this is dead in the political arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccafey Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I haven't been home to a game in long time. I can tell you that the name is about pride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
