I understand that in the by-laws the taxes must be used for the Fargodome, but my question is in the following paragraph Is the construction mentioned in this paragraph the original construction or construction in general? I would think that it were meant to cover future construction it would have been stated as such. I don't think that you could add on an arena and call it operations and maintenance. You mention that the dome has already expanded twice. Were these actual expansions or were they items such as vestibules and interior renovations, which could be operations and maintenance items? I have never been in the Fargodome and know very little about the place, but I am in construction and know how sticky contractual language can get. I didn't see it make the Forum's "Talk About it Section", but I don't visit the site every day and could have missed it.

Hammersmith, you seem to be quite involved at NDSU and Fago in general, I posed this question on another thread, but didn't receive any answers. Any thoughts? Also, I find it interesting that the Forum always many topics for readers to comment on, but the issue of a new arena attached to the Fargodome isn't there. Is that because the Forum doesn't want dissension on the issue or because there may be a question of whether or not Dome tax money can be used for the arena?

This discussion reminds of how UND got blasted for such low attendance for the Winona state playoff game. UND had already played and beaten Winona quite handily, so many folks just didn't have an interest in going to the game. Same can be said for some of the opponents that NDSU has had to schedule this year in basketball. People don't come in droves to see Mayville State or Valley City. When both schools have finished the transition things will get back to just how they were in the NCC, but with elevated figures due to the higher quality opponents. By back to how they were in the NCC, I mean that NDSU will have higher attendance number for football and UND will have slightly higher figures for MBB and WBB. The thing that NDSU cannot emulate is the attendance that UND consistantly has for hockey.

Confronting society with science

The Walrus seems to have all of the scoops. Insider info? Keep it coming.

Wait a minute. Isn't one of the arguments that anti-Sioux have about the Big Sky is that Montana isn't in the recruiting area. Something smell fishy here (to quote NanoBison).

Students Rub Elbows With National Investment Leaders

A reunion party like it's 1999

By the way, my kids walked around the house this morning saying that the Sioux were going to beat the Bears. Just had to share that.

Well, it was a great ride while it lasted. That safety was a back-breaker. Congratulations to the Bears. Go Colts.

Saints/Colts would be great. New Orleans would be crazy for both these teams, with the Colts having a Manning.

Moose short on work ethic

Since the Vikings are not in the playoffs, I'm sure many of you are on the fence about who you would like to see in the Super Bowl. With that being said, do you have a preference? I'm sure you can detect who I'll be cheering for today. Go Saints!

WCHA needs upgrade in officiating Looks like Virg is seeing the same thing that many Sioux and WCHA fans see ....

Robbie, second PP goal of the night.

Men get their first conference win today over Omaha. Nice crowd to boot, about 3,500. Edit: 3,052 in attendance.

205 users on Siouxsports.com right now. Most I've ever seen on. Good win. Thank you Erik Fabian.

Thanks for all of the updates. Hold on Sioux.

Floods of Memory

I thought that if it was a conspiracy it had to have "gate" at the end of it, such as Watergate, Filegate, Travelgate. Watermelongate has a nice ring to it.

One last time on the taxpayer has a right to know. Please read the following carefully...
