I see trademark infringement. (You don't have to steal the whole image to have infringed.)

Hi, I'm Sica, with the Meme Police. We're just writing a warning this time for a failure to meme. In the future in that situation you should do something like this.

It's becoming a maintenance burden on TRF parks and recs budget. Local volunteers are doing some things. I swear there was an article here somewhere ...

And why did these not-for-profits to run the arena get set up? Ralph's vision? Um, ah, no. The ND Legislature said they wouldn't take a gift building on a campus that didn't have a sustainability plan. The State didn't want to be left paying for maintenance of such a facility. Seeing what's happening with the Little Ralph in TRF right now < gulp > the Legislature might have gotten one right.

So they could get a short-notice stencil of Hawk-font ... but not the logo ...

I was a bit afraid that it would re-ignite old name/logo firestorms from the early 80s and late 80s and that bad things might come of it. Meh ... what'd I know ... worried about a nothin'-burger, right?

Or is it three and I'm wrong about last year being (new) Hawk-font. Your picture is the font that came with the Faison Interlock.

So why's it bother you if you don't notice it? Remember: the Faison interlock first showed up in fall 2013 and only made it to fall 2017.

Anyone else remember the uproar when the Faison "Interlocked ND" came out and the cataclysm that ensued? http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=204768425 There were almost daily letters to the GFH saying it's an atrocity, a travesty, and don't put that < bleep > thing on the ice! History: the ultimate recycler. PS: Spoiler Alert! The Faison Interlocked ND did end up at center ice. PPS: REA has had at least three different things (Brien logo, Faison Interlock, Hawk-font wordmark) at center in 17 seasons.

Both are still cheaper than getting the Brien logo off your ... < ahem > ... gluteal nether-regions.

What's more costly: Replacing the center section of $4 million dollar custom, specialty indoor football turf or A new stencil and three colors of paint to go onto ice. Ponder that: The least costly place to put the new logo would be on the ice, not the courts, not the turf, the ice.

Alerus turf was 11 years old and replaced in 2012. http://csinewsnow.com/?p=2941 It had to be warranty replaced (manufacturer's defect) in 2013. http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/sports/1824806-new-4m-turf-alerus-center-being-replaced

Alerus? Someone say Alerus? http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4324402-und-ramping-branding-alerus-center

Birds fly, fish swim; water is wet; sun rises in the east.

Game 1/2 Caps showed up last night for Game 6. Now who'll show up Wednesday.

@Ray77 Agree

No comment. (Brad, Tom, et al, c'mon man, all in fun. ) That said, in all fairness I didn't know about Form 990 and who files it and that's it is publicly available until about a decade ago.

Well, Form 990 is a good first look. That's a pseudo- tax return (for not for profits who don't have to pay taxes). However, knowing that the UND CFO is on one of the four not for profits that oversee the arena, wouldn't the CFO be able to look in?

Self-explanatory.

Asleep?

I gave links in this thread to all the Form 990s I could find for arena related entities. A 990 shows the board membership and any compensation they've received from that entity.

When only one is on the field at a time they get the full attention of the defenders. Make the defenders spread their attention.

Don't say PK's little brother Mal.
