If the new stadium with the retractable roof is still part of the plan and your thought is to do it in 10-15 years, isn't the cost of construction for the new stadium going to go up during that time frame, probably 10-20%? What would you do with an 18,000 seat Alerus 10-15 years from now, when you move into the new stadium? I would think the current configuration could be utilized by the community much more than an 18,000 seat facility.
From what I've read/heard, UND will be staying at the Alerus for the near term 7+ years. If a new stadium is being "planned", I would have to think that there is someone out there thinking that the possibility must be there for it to be built.
