    Because someone else already owns it. And UND isn't going to choose a logo that has any significant resemblance to the Brien version of the Fighting Sioux logo.

    Brad Buetow was the coach the last 3 years, after coaching at the University of Minnesota for several years in the early 1980's.

    People have 3 years to plan this trip, to a very popular destination, for a guaranteed game against a long time rival. That makes it a completely different animal from a regional. The hockey game is only one part of the equation. It's not like there is nothing else to do in Las Vegas. People plan trips there all the time. Even casual fans are going to have an interest in this game, unlike having a regional appearance with only a week to plan the trip.

    That looks like a partridge in a pear tree.

    The teams will play next season (2016-2017) in Minneapolis. They will play in Grand Forks the following season (2017-2018). This Las Vegas game is in fall of 2018.

    Tell them to show it to you in the rule book. The entire rule book is available online.

    The ceiling, floor and walls themselves are part of the look they were going for with the arena. It's a multi-use facility and they didn't want it to look fancy. The concrete floors are also easier to maintain and clean, so it helps keep costs down. Even a lot of clubs go with exposed pipes, concrete floors, and more of a spartan look. I don't see them making huge changes to those things any time soon, but I could be wrong. Decorations are a different story. I have no idea if they ever plan to change the decor in that part of the building.

    They have actually spent quite a bit of money throughout the building over the past decade. The money comes from the same sales tax that is paying for the building, it was set up that way. The plan was also to have a reserve built up before that tax ends after 30 years. Some of the upgrades include changing the front of the convention part of the building, adding the glass on the east side of the arena, changes at the suite level, new carpeting throughout the building, painting the building, new technology throughout the building, they remodeled the offices, new turf, new video boards, and that is just off the top of my head. I think they also did some upgrades or changes to the HVAC systems. Keeping the building updated has been part of the plan for the building and they have done a pretty good job of doing that. Some of these updates have been really public and reported all over the news. Some of them aren't very sexy so they didn't get much coverage.

    Can you imagine attendance if they were playing outside today? It wasn't even that cold, but it was uncomfortable with the mixed range of moisture and a pretty good breeze.

    Augustana used Howard Wood until 2008. They got a donation of $6 million that helped them build an open-air stadium on campus that seats 6,500.

    I will be buying University of North Dakota merchandise, to support the University of North Dakota. The school itself and the athletic programs for that school have been the most important things for me all along. Not being attached to a specific nickname and logo. Does that make it easier to understand?

    80s era grad. Still have Sioux and Fighting Sioux stuff, wear it less often than before and some is wearing out. Have purchased and wear various items of apparel with North Dakota or University of North Dakota, but purchase less often than before because it has been pretty boring. Agree with jdub, the interlocking ND doesn't excite me because I've had people ask me about Notre Dame while wearing it. It isn't a real effective brand if people automatically associate it with another school. Will purchase and wear new nickname and logo merchandise, how much I purchase will depend on how much I like it. I will probably continue to buy UND and North Dakota stuff, I've always had some of that in addition to Sioux merch.

    Out on the rig?

    UND would be approximately 8th priority with Fox Sports North after the Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, Gopher football, Gopher basketball, Gopher hockey and assorted Minnesota High School and small college sports. They like the basketball games because they have lost enough games to other networks that they have some holes in their schedule, and UND does the production work so they are cheap to produce. But I don't think they are bringing a whole lot of cash in for UND.

    A brand new professional hockey franchise came up with Wild. They could have picked anything. Another picked Blue Jackets, a vague reference to fighting for the North in the Civil War (their second choice was Justice). Yet another picked Lightning. Look at the names in the NBA (Sun, Heat, Magic, Thunder, Pelicans, Wizards, Hornets, Spurs). And all of the schools with Native American names that changed to some form of Hawk. There is no guarantee that any nickname process would come up with a better list than the one that UND came up with.

    You can't call it a redshirt season once he plays in a season unless he is awarded a medical redshirt. You can use the actual redshirt in any season, as was said you have 5 to play 4.

    It has also been reported that the last California grizzly, the animal that the Bear State was named after, was shot in the 1920's.
