I think you nailed it: more bars is about it. Those same bands stop in GF or Fargo: Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line, Boyz II Men (), Alan Jackson, Justin Bieber, James Taylor, Rob Zombie, Foreigner are just a few of the upcoming bands to the RRV.

This has always been the worlds dumbest argument. 11,500 in a town of 60,000 = 19% of the "metro" at a hockey game. 30,000 (sold out Xcel Energy Center & Mariucci Arena) in a town of 700,000 (that's only of St. Paul and Minneapolis proper population) = 4% They would need an equivalent of 133,000 people at a hockey game or sporting event. What are all these people doing?* *HS hockey games? Like those aren't also going on in Grand Forks? There really isn't "that much to do" in Minneapolis/St. Paul on a regular basis that isn't available in the RRV. If 19% of the actual entire metro of 3.5 Million went to a Gopher hockey game, Maricucci would have to hold 665,000. Its laughable a town that large can't find 10,000 fans every night to go to a hockey game...especially when you consider their student body at the University of Minnesota has more people than the entire town of Grand Forks.

That line fits parrots cay.

I'd guess he thought it would be a nice money making endeavor for him but ended up costing more than he thought. Poor planning all around. I don't think it was a scam.

Another one bites the dust. 75 jobs moved from GF to Fargo. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/3950344-fedex-moving-airport-ramp-operations-grand-forks-fargo

I have a marketing idea...they could hold North Dakota's largest ever 50/50 raffle ticket. Say for example the winner would get at least $25,000. I bet that word would spread pretty fast and get a lot of people to a game. ....oh wait nevermind.

Stand corrected. First apparel in the Dacotah Legacy Collection with the Ben Brien logo.

I believe it's the first apparel released under the legacy brand. Throw in the timing. And I guess the topic seemed newsworthy enough to have a few pages here recently. And Ed also mentioned some new details about it going forward.

Pretty hot topic here and social media so only natural the herald will have an article.

I was close. "New Fighting Sioux merchandise for sale three months after nickname selection" http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3949473-new-fighting-sioux-merchandise-sale-three-months-after-nickname-selection

I wonder if four losses in a row will help this team really focus.

I heard some places, mostly in South Fargo, is at $1.29.

Was there a gf connection I'm not seeing? Or did they just pick the Alerus Center because it's probably one of the few northern indoor stadiums (with cheap rent)?

Try the the tips at the end of the "Software Update" thread.

I'm not sure UND makes the Frozen Four last year without Scheels Arena.

The ice at outdoor rinks is way worse than the ice at the Ralph. Not saying it's an accident waiting to happen though. That stuff helps build team chemistry....Not injuries. Outdoor fun ;).

A good read https://www.nhl.com/news/zach-parise-excited-to-play-outside-in-minnesota/c-278675078

Do you ever panic?

UND is 4-3 since restarting NCHC play after "the break."

At least they're trying...UND sports website has the hockey games updated score from a few minutes ago vs DU, but not UNDs basketball game from Thursday.

Exciting finish. And to think UND could have won with that last second basket.

Zero points for the CBS line tonight.
