That sloppy, muddy field probably causes fewer injuries and is safer for players than the carpet that either North Dakota or NDSU play on. Ya know, when it is muddy and slippery, it is that way for both teams, not just the visiting team.

The last three North Dakota v. NDSU basketball games in Grand Forks were played at REA. Attendance was 7,237 in 2004; 8,891 in 2003; and 5,942 in 2002.

So, who would be in favor of North Dakota joining a Montana-less Big Sky Conference? Obviously, earlier in the decade most fans of all the Dakota schools initially wanted the Big Sky for a home, because association with Montana and Montana St. was appealing. If both Montana schools left for FBS, it could finally make North Dakota a consideration for the Big Sky. UND surely prefers an invite to the Summit over the Big Sky (especially a depleted one), but this situation could create two viable autobid options for UND to potentially end up in. Personally, even without the Montana schools, and despite all the other Dakotas being in the Summit, one has to consider the fact that the Big Sky would also offer an autobid for football.

See, now there's a substantative post! I was just responding to Lakes' post...........he's the one who brought up football & basketball...........

You are of course aware that North Dakota's football team had twice as many wins as NDSU last season.........and our WBB program is 30 spots ahead of the Bison in the RPI. But at least Saul's squad is tearing it up on the hardwood............... Now why don't you add something of substance to the conversation rather than just trolling.........LINK

That's funny, all we ever play is zone too.........I agree with SiouxDude, I think alot of it has to do with athleticism. Until we meet in the post-season, which is where we normally end your year after getting swept during the regular season!

Yep......

Front to back...............except when Swyg is having a lawn-care issue.

I have always loved watching a game in the Sioux Center, much more so than in the REA. I've only been to two games in the REA, NDSU in 2004 which had attendance of around 7,500 and that was a great atmosphere, and another game against UNO I believe had around 4,000-4,500. Didn't care too much for that one. I'm of the opinion that all games should be played in Sioux Center until it is consistently sold out, with the exception of future NDSU games. If USD or SDSU games in the future regularly fill the Betty, I would be in favor of playing those games as well, and perhaps any potential future visits by UNI as well given the UND ties there. But the Sioux Center can become a pretty raucous place even when it is just 3/4 full. I didn't realize there were just 2,500 for USD last year, but that was a great environment. Seating capacity could be modestly increased in the Sioux Center easily enough simply by adding larger portable risers. They could have a really large one on the North end since there aren't concessions behind that one. I really think that a 3,000-4,000 seat arena is about the right size for UND, especially given the fact that REA is available for known big draws. Back in the early 90's when UND was getting 4,000-5,000 per game, in addition to being much better teams, there were also only half as many seats available to attend hockey games. The new REA effectively creates more competition for Grand Forks entertainment dollars and allows alot of people to basically "blow their wad" on hockey seats, whereas 20 years ago, many more people couldn't get into the old REA so alot of them chose basketball instead. Hopefully we will end up in the Summit League which averages ~2,700 for attendance. Summit fans probably won't travel nearly as well as NCC schools did save for the Dakota schools due to the much larger of geographic area that it covers compared to the NCC. My 2 cents.
