And he is using Century club level for UND and all of the lower bowl is at least two levels higher.
It's called an estimate.
-
So 3/4 was working for you.

Grand Forks is just too small for an AHL team. Really, nobody would have allegiance to an AHL team that changes its roster every three or four months.
That's been explained to Fetch many times before, ... with no success.

But do the Jets have a AHL team ?
Do you know how to use a search engine?

Where is this 'Scandenavia' that you speak of? Is it near 'Scandinavia'?
Shhh ... Norwegians wouldn't have noticed that.
-
For a while folks wanted to tip the cap to the second large group to live in this area, namely the Scandenavian / Northern European immigrants. Those folks share a common mythology. The most powerful warrior that Norse/Germanic mythos carried a weapon called Mjolnir.
Officially be the Mjolnir (translation: the crusher; pronounced: myol-near).
What is Mjolnir in common language (meaning what could be the alternate name for the teams)? The War Hammer.
(You can also call it a maul.)
But I'm sure the NCAA'd say we'd need family approval from a former UND defenseman with the first name Trevor.
It's not bad, but I still kind of like "Reaper" as it hits both past and present in the region (old harvesters and new UAVs). And yes, the black jerseys would be a whole lot of fun ...
A year later and I'm still believing in these two ideas.

Indubitably.
If you believe otherwise, "May your only son become the goalie on a nude hockey team."

"It's been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's porch since noon today."

Why not look at "percent of capacity" of facilities?

This game could be the difference of making the ncaa's or not making for bubble teams though.
Based on last season, that could be said of every game.

As for Fargo being a frontrunner town, they are no different than any other city. When you win people show up, when you lose people don't. I remember going to UND hockey games in the early 90's and their was maybe 3,000 people at the games which made the arena half full.
I can not disagree.
-
I was once told by a high ranking Teammakers officer, "Fargo is a frontrunner town. When you win you don't have enough seats, when you lose you have twice as many as you need."
-
It had the Manitoba Moose until the Jets moved into town. (Much like the Minnesota Moose moved to Winnipeg when the Wild began playing). Typically, cities with AHL teams lose the AHL team when an NHL team moves in. Chicago is an exception, having both.
And Toronto.

If teams are going that far, you'd want to be able to get in two games:
Bring back the Whalers as ...
The Waikiki Whalers.

I think the Community Forum needs a place to track news stories about people who've gone off the rails, into the ditch, and rolled (bursting into flames optional).
The past few days it has to have been Anthony Weiner, but today I nominate ...
Christopher Dewitt Craig, a former MBB assistant coach at Northern Colorado, the self-described “Islamist jihadist” who said Mormons and Catholics “would be destroyed” in the next two weeks.

Mr. Craig, seek help.

Not to stop the party, but I don't think UND has the leadership this year to make the frozen four.
OK, who, before that season, picked Peter Armbrust to captain the 2000 National Champions?

Which is why they need to put aside their issues with UNC, add some real sports and get into the Big Sky.
You've hit on some of the key issues for (with?) Denver:
- they are dead-set against being in a conference with certain teams, and Northern Colorado is high on that list, and that hurts them with the Big Sky
- they have a rather (shall we politely say) eclectic mix of sport offerings that aligns well with no conference

With Sac State and U No Colorado (fellow Big Sky schools), wasn't UND to WAC Baseball almost preordained? If DU and UNO can't see that ...
One more notion:
Will we see any moves before the "D4" leverage move by the Big Five conferences plays out?
-
My guess is Joe from Detroit Lakes, but would not be surprised if Joe is #2 for Vanderbilt.
Considering Mollberg was one snap away from being on the field for UND last fall, and was taking most of the snaps for UND in spring ball, I'm not sure where you're coming from with the Vanderbilt reference.

Your Summit Hockey notion has lots of moving parts (including having to have the MVFC play along).
Wouldn't it be easier for the Summit to find a couple baseball affiliates (or get USD or DU to add the sport)? Ghastly as it would be for the Summit, NJIT baseball is available and would solve their issue.
Last thought: Would the SUs and USD allow their futures be dictated by the evil that is ... < gasp > ... ice hockey.

Simple questions:
Where would EIU play? Their club team travels to Danville, IL, to practice and play home games. There's no rink in Charleston, IL. The trip is 70 miles one way.
Who else would play "Summit Hockey" besides DU and UNO? EIU? That's three. Then ... who? St. Cloud? Duluth? Can either of those two make the jump to full Division I status to join the Summit? I guess I'm not seeing the numbers. Please explain how the numbers could work.
My guess? EIU is moving from ACHA DII to ACHA DI.

There's a lot of skepticism about the credibility of these reports in many quarters.

I miss my conversations with opposing goaltenders. Well, conversations might not be the right word. I'd tell them various factoids about their lives and friends and girlfriends (and what their friends were doing with their girlfriends) and if they heard me or heard enough they'd reply in "sign language".
My favorites were John Blue and Steven Wagner. I think they liked me. Both flashed me a sign that I've been told I should interpret as "I'm #1."
The new tall glass in REA doesn't lend aid to a conversationalist like me.
