No doubt one of if not the worst seasons in North Dakota football. Certainly the worst FCS season

UfDuh hope those tickets are 3/4th the price

Sorta surprised. Boise already has an established ECHL team and would be a star attraction during the winter. I guess it is hard to say no to a new, shiny area.

Load factor for GFK hovers around 85%, which as an airline is fantastic numbers. However, the passenger count has decreased every year since 2014 which is not good for the airport. Grand Forks current has about 300 pax per day

That is an EAS flight, basically a government subsidy for providing the service

The fact DVL has service to Denver via United is a major issue to getting some type of west connection. UA has tried GFK a couple of times, but canceled quickly.

University Ave is really going to be something else in a couple of years. Just need something in the old Alumni Association building lot

Naturally women's hockey was brought up but not baseball or S&D teams

I heard the 8th member of the new WCHA, but must bring back women's hockey to join.

I can't believe we have an 8-page thread about banners. Not saying good or bad, just interesting

Ya, I don't understand this talk about a new stadium. The Alerus is an average place at best, but no way is anything else being built until at a minimum the bonds are paid off. Grand Forks already has two large indoor facilities a third would just be silly. Let's be honest, a new stadium will not be outdoors because getting people to a week 10 or later game will be very difficult. U of Minnesota is having a hard time selling seats for late-season games and they have a way bigger fan base and location.

Forum Communications will be implementing paywalls for all their sites in the near future. I get that newspapers should receive income, but paywalls are rarely the answer.

Wow, what great Pie In The Sky ideas. The only one that is remotely realistic anytime soon is HPC Phase 2, but nice-looking "what-ifs"

I rarely went there when in GF. It wasn't because I didn't like it, mostly just forgot about the restaurant. Never was disappointed though when I did remember to order Kind of the same lines of that sandwich place by Tim Hortons. Decent food, just never first on my mind

Ya, That Guy With to UND

Crookston would be the 3rd smallest D1 Hockey School (Canisius & St. Lawrence are smaller), certainly the smallest public school. Where is the money coming from to start a program? I can't think any alumni that would that deep of pockets. They are already terrible in all other sports, why would hockey be any different? The only item in their favor is an area to suit their needs. Just seems an interesting move to me

Mezzulna is no joke for that 5* meal

They can't drop football, finally won a game last year. Things are starting to look up!

Coming soon is this photo

Sorts related, any prospects in the Manitoba/Saskatchewan area? Love that pipeline and I think we have a good edge over a lot of schools in that region. The talent may not be as wide, but UND should always be on their radar.

Does anyone know if UND football will still be available on Pluto.tv/Big Sky network?

I have no proof but believe Bismarck's food scene is due to it being more "insulated" than Grand Forks. There is nothing outside of Bismarck for 2 hours, unlike Grand Forks with Fargo just a short drive away.

Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Buffalo

Alaska Governor is cutting 41% of the higher education budget, which includes 1200 staff members. I would be surprised if both Alaska hockey teams make it more then two years. https://www.google.com/amp/s/slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/07/alaska-governor-guts-state-higher-education-funding.amp
