35,000 seat retractable room stadium on campus.

It was a tongue in cheek post about how how some people have stated or believe UNDs tradition and/arena helps them win hockey games. Which it does to an extent, but that doesn't mean others can't compete just as well if not better for any given year.

I've heard that for the past seven years.

It was a joke Darrell. UND was expected to get blown yet but kept it close.

Or St. Cloud decided to control the game!

"Hot Goalie"

I wish the Ralph and all those nhl recruites would have helped UND beat lonely startup crappy arena no tradition SCSU.

Fire Jones? Simple question.

Eastern Washington doesn't have a top notch fan base.

Would anyone care from St Cloud or Mankato about UND or Minnesotas tradition if they just say won 3 out of the next 6 hockey championships. While UND hasn't won one in over 15 years? "Star Recruits" don't always win championships.

Agreed, but the quote "perception is reality" pops into my mind. And as long as that quote is taken as truth...

NDSU already has a nice rink waiting for them that's nicer than 75% of college hockey programs already.

Parity would make sure the Bison win a championship before UND does again.

Where's he or she been the last ten years? It took forever for their basketball arena to get started and that was after major contributions from Sanford. I'm guessing their money already dried up.

Does ESPN have a love affair with the Big Sky? Back to Back televised college kickoffs on ESPN at Big Sky Stadiums.

The same amount it would take Penn State to beat Minnesota?

You'd have to think some producer was a college hockey fan? Of the the college and pro sports out there...

At least their AD isn't trying to find ways to get less students to the games. "They’re a big part of the energy in the facility,” Larsen said. “If anything, we need to get more creative, find out why they’re not coming and figure out some things we can do.”

UND couldn't get up and beat a winless big sky team at home. I don't see UND getting up to play UNC on the road and winning. Two even teams with home field being the advantage. UNC 21 UND 17

The time for the NCHC to add BGU would have been a couple years ago. (If they indeed do add BGU because they added ASU)

The correct answer is "Mega Softball Complex." http://www.inforum.com/content/mega-softball-complex-takes-shape-north-fargo

You never know. The Big Ten makes up excuses as it sees fit. No affiliate members. Ok only AAU affiliate members even if you are a D3 school. If they add ASU it'll be ok you don't have to be AAU, just a "National Brand." Then they could say UND is a national hockey brand with the nations largest attendance and one with a rich hockey tradition including the second most national championships and long established hockey rivalries with Big Ten schools. Did Big Ten delete an innocent post on twitter because they think they might be "giving away the secret"?

It's the same concept of the talk of adding ASU and Bowling Green to the NCHC.

Would the big ten add Aizona State and UND? Might be a possibility if they add ASU.
