Thats the definition of mediocre.

At this point it's no longer a fluke. The very top of FCS (NDSU/SDSU) is better than the mediocre FBS schools (Minnesota).

"Minnesota: 2nd most losses to FCS schools since 2007."

SDSU with more total yards than Minn.

Homer calls.

If Minn had to travel to these FCS teams they'd be below .500.

....closer than it's should be.

I heard Weekleys use to pretty much be where Simplot is...."back in the day."

Simplot: the high rise freezer.

There's a reality show on CMT called Racing Wives. Which mainly follows a couple wives of Nascar drivers but also stars this lady:

Grand Forks based Alerus Financial plans to go public with an IPO target of $75 Million.

It appears after many years being unsuccessful (late 90s, early 2000s) the latest people behind the idea have started to become amazingly successful: downtown outdoor summer concerts. They started small and slowly and strategically grew the crowd. From cover bands performing other bands hits to the actual band performing their own hits tonight outdoor under the night sky in the Grand Cities.

Another amazing sold out crowd last night at the River Cities Speedway to watch the World of Outlaws Sprint cars.

Upgrade to the outdoor boards on Gateway too?

The hardcore fans will always know. You need lots of casual fans to fill 11,000 seats in a town of 60,000. A lot more competition for entertainment dollars today than the 80s. Hockey games (minus a handful) weren't even televised in the 80s let alone massive high definition tvs.

Snapping Snapchats at the game increases marketing exposure. Thus, increased wireless connectivity increases attendance.

Wonder what the cash maturity rate is each year for donations ie. pledges upon death from 20 years ago that finally get fulfilled.

Car washes, like storage units, are a "modern, easy" money making opportunities. The style of the proposed rydell one posted above, was "recently" opened in Fargo also.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/business/restaurants-and-bars/4471145-Bully-Brew-moves-roastery-plans-open-house They've done so well they've expanded into Fargo a few years ago.

Hasn't it been like three or four years?

Which puts it in the same range or as a larger employer than Cirrus aircraft in GF. If not yet, it will be. PS Industries has continually expanded its shop in the Industrial park. And each time they think "this is it, we'll overbuild now and be set for a decade plus." Only to run out of room a few years later. I think this might be the fourth or fifth time they've added on to the building now.

Most forgot about GF Restaurants? 1. Perkins 2. Moon .....I can't remember the others.

Alerus is getting a new turf next year.

Looks like Mayor Brown agrees with me. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/government-and-politics/4048082-Grand-Forks-mayor-says-hell-veto-32nd-Avenue-bridge-spending

The plot of land where the frat is being build has sat empty for 15+ years after the old one was torn down.
