If it's going to have ice year-round, why would they list that it can seat 6,000 for basketball/volleyball? Urban Plains Center & Tournament Facility I would think either of these sports gets a little dangerous being played on ice.

President of United Tribes Upbeat About Prospect of American Indian Committee Member for UND So only a unanimous vote by the board will restore your faith? It's hard enough just to get people to agree on what time to have lunch. Be satisfied if you get an American Indian on the search committee.

The 2007 Volleyball schedule is out... UND volleyball to take on three 2006 NCAA national semifinalists this season

We've had this discussion once before as to why Fargo has grown so much more than GF, aside from the 1997 flood. There was a time in the 1960's and 1970's when GF's growth rate was higher than Fargo's, mostly due to the AFB. When the interstate system was built, Fargo was put in a prime location at the confluence of two interstate highways. Fargo started to become a distribution center and evolved from that. If I-94 (or an I-98) had gone through GF you would have seen a different scenario. Grand Forks cannot try and be like Fargo. Grand Forks needs to find its own niches and part of that is attracting high paying jobs. This is why I was kind of surprised when the GF City Council turned down Aurora Medical. I hope Aurora Medical still decides to build in GF. Someone in GF needs to think about ways to recruit high wage jobs, maybe from Winnipeg. Sorry to cut his off, in somewhat mid-thought, but I have to run.

Hextall in 2008. The Hex is back

I'm sure that Cirrus and LM Glasfiber have something do with the population increase. They have both added a lot of jobs in the past couple of years. I agree, also, that the "U" has been involved in the growth, as well.

Not really about UND playing DI lacrosse, but as The Sicatoka pointed out, it is Canada's "national summer sport". Most Canadians not tough enough to play lacrosse Keep coming to Grand Forks

Lee attends Senators development camp

It's all or nothing for Lee Come on back for one more year, Brian.

A reporter got a story wrong? Never Glad to hear this young man wasn't involved in the other shenanigans.

Just add that to the long list of mistakes that I've made today. I haven't heard the word scofflaw in quite a while. Wasn't Newman a scofflaw on Seinfeld for all of his parking tickets?

It is coming. Get in front of it. There are some who say that hockey is a niche sport. Maybe they are right, but it is a niche sport that has brought a lot of success and notoriety to UND. Grand Forks is 70 miles south of Canada, making hockey a natural at UND. Using that same logic, why wouldn't lacrosse, Canada's national pastime, be successful at UND and possibly increase Canadian enrollment at UND?

I don't think that I would bet against you on that one.

Hoeven supported adding Indian to search committee Things that make you go hmmm.

I think we are reverting back to the discussion on June 14th. I know that I don't have all of the answers on this, but I believe having a Native American on the committee and "buying in" to the selection of the next president isn't a bad thing.

I agree that "if" it becomes a primary issue in the selection that it is a mistake, but I go back to my original position that by having a Native American on the selection committee will at the very least provide "inclusion" in the process. My thought is that that one person cannot drive the whole committee with his/her "one issue". I hope that I'm not wrong. I submit the name Archie Fool Bear for the presidential selection committee.

I know they are reportedly not going to be competing venues, but this can't be good for the folks pushing the addition to the Fargodome. I can't imagine that they won't have other events in this facility besides hockey and with Urban Plains already breaking ground, they will have the advantage. If this goes to the voters, it's all over. Ground broken on new hockey arena

Looks as if Paulsen has changed his mind...Board president wants Indian rep on UND search committee Makes you wonder who has Paulsen's ear. Just last week he was dead set against it and now after reflection, he is for it?? I'm on the record as being for it, I'm just wondering who changed Paulsen't mind.

Is Mr. Harmeson in the mix to be the next president of UND? This certainly would give him a leg up on the competition if he were a candidate.

Another one that I enjoy reading is Grand Forks Life.
