I'll throw my two cents in here. This is what I think needs to change at the Alerus Center: 1. Winning (duh) 2. Student Involvement: Sad as it is to say, the students (and all students) seem to have ADD and can't keep their attention on one thing for too long. It's a nation-wide problem to get to students to go to games and then keep them there. Free t-shirts, TVs, and prizes given away at the end of the game help, but they have to be passionate about the team. I've always wondered how the traditions at men's hockey get passed down to the freshmen? They need to do the same thing for football. 3. Green the place: Everything is bare-bones, basic, and boring. There's nothing that is even remotely pleasant about the concourses or the seating sections. There's no UND pride in the building. Natural lighting would certainly help, some better quality or better priced concessions, and just a better overall atmosphere. Outside tailgating is great & vibrant...then everyone is pushed inside the arena (I think someone described it as a pole barn, which is very accurate), and they're forced to watch the same commercials and same promotions every game. There's nothing to get excited about until the team continues to perform well on a consistent basis or fans take this issue by the throat and make the change themselves.
