  1. I don't know. My question is how do you handle that when you need to "roll up" the surface for some other event in the facility? What does someplace like Metrodome do?
  2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't NDSU's athletic budget "red" when they announced a DI move? Red is red, in debt is in debt, right?
  3. Why look at NDSU's budget? If they're doing good things, learn from; if they're doing bad things, don't follow.
  4. We keep hearing about UND's budget. Where's NDSU's? You'd think if all was wine and roses that sucker'd be rolled out there and touted about. Please, someone, show me. UND's data is on the table. Show me so I (an ND taxpayer) can see for myself and compare.
  5. Don't have to. They're in the "Attachements" PDF in the Final Report to Dr. Kupchella, pages 22-25 (of 127).
  6. He wrote his own "death warrant" if it wasn't.
  7. I'd guess every NCAA school's does. The NCAA talks it up great too (and we know by actions it's money first, then athletes, with them). It's the dedication of the school to the athletes' success is what makes it work or not. Either you have administrators and coaches that drive for total success (academic and athletic) like Stanford or like UND, or you have Bob Huggins and Cincinnati. I was happy to see a solid look at "support systems" in the report to Kupchella.
  8. The numbers say you could play lax in The Al. Memorial has more turf space than The Al.
  9. But did you get ... room service ... for your efforts?
  10. That's my take also.
  11. I've rolled it out in front of folks with "nice offices" in various key UND buildings. Others in this thread may offer up more/other info.
  12. Without even knowing, I'm sure you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

  14. From http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/sports/14712009.htm
  15. Personally, if I was on UND's side of the table in the negotiations, I'd want that answer before signing anything.
  16. UND doesn't have a spring revenue sport, and I doubt baseball, even with a stadium ever will be, is part of my thinking for starting the conversation.
  17. I didn't feed him. Knowing he knows how to, I told him where to fish.
  18. Come on tony, you've downloaded and read that report more times than I have by now. Your answers are on pages 7-9 of the Final Report.
  19. Mike McFeely has chimed in with a hearty, "[url="http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=128604
  20. The GF Herald story: http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/14715499.htm
  21. Interesting innuendo from Fargo Forum writer Jeff Kolpack in his blog under the heading of "And let's talk about commitment": That bold part, that's some, how shall we say, interesting language from Kolpack. It's clearly an indication that if NDSU left WDAY-AM Radio the rest of ForumComm (The Forum, WDAY-TV) coverage might "change" also. What's more fun is Kolpack's blog just above that one (no coincidence?) titled "Siouxper news:
  22. Oh that's just a bunch of (am I really gonna say it?) ... Blarney's.
  23. Here's the story in the Forum: http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...&section=sports
  24. Only in Don Lucia's mind.
  25. Don't forget about this (admittedly 'out there') notion. The DI Report says it'd take $2.5 million for a baseball stadium. Under this "drop baseball, add lacrosse" notion we'd have a facility already.
