The Sicatoka

I asked that a while back and never got a straight answer from Alerus, UND, or the architects. To my eye: - to the north: no. The Aurora ballroom and kitchen spaces are there, as is truck access (trade shows) to the field. - to the south: I don't know. Was the south wall designed to be moved should they ever need to horseshoe the facility? That said, those double-columns on each corner of the football field are structural. They hold the roof up. (Any engineer can see that.) If they could move the south wall they really could only go as wide as post to post or you'd have obstructed views. My guess is if they could add a south end that they'd only be able to add permanent seating of about 40-50% of one current side. Think of south end as 50 yards wide and the west side is 100 yards. One side of The Al holds say 5500-6000 people (12000 total cap). You'd add maybe 2500-3000 permanent new seats in a "south end". I doubt they'd be able to name plate claim much more than 16000 in the place if they could add south end permanent seating.

We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

The word you're forgetting is: illegally.

So basically ...

That whole time value of money thing is a ruse.

Hat? No turban? What kind of Hindu are you? < shakes head in disappointment >

@Ray77 Agree

That's pretty much the standard most places ... "beer garden".

You apparently don't recognize when someone is making fun of your new-found Hinduism. Do you have a turban with a logo on the front (ala Al Pearson' cowboy hat)?

Imagine if Flower ended up with more Cups than The Kid.

... except for our resident Hindu and he's stocked up on apparel for three lifetimes.

Penguins. Iced.

How do you do, Hindu.

I'm surprised the students at GW are only after the Colonials name and not more ...

Um ... etymology lesson time. According to the folks at Alerus Financial, "Alerus" derives from the Latin word "alera" which means "to take flight".

You only get one*. *Unless you're Hindu.

That is the best argument you can make against it (the PC angle).

@Ray77 Agree

Looking back, seems I'm a-ways behind. Maple Leafs. Mulched. Bruins. Put in a zoo. Sharks. Brody'd.

Between Fighting and "How About We Keep Sioux" even the greatest nickname, logo, and mascot in the history of man would've lost.

I'm surprised Ol' Miss is still the Rebels. And that UMass is still the Minutemen.

It's the new logo. It's going to be what's out there. If you feel oppressed by it I'm sure we can find a safe space for you. The only majority I'm aware of (with scientific basis) is that a majority of North Dakotans voted to retire the old nickname. Anything beyond that is speculative. And please don't go to the "manipulated to do it" tripe. They could've voted to keep it in place if it was that important.

Off the post, off the camera ... 2-0 VGK.
