I'd say it's not that slow especially having it on the jerseys and right near the score, but it's getting there. Plus, the mascot. I wouldn't mind more logos added, though.
Logo at center ice?

1 logo on each side of the scoreboard next to the score (4 total Fighting Hawk logos)......2500 Sioux logos. Narrowing the gap!! #progress
Don't forget the 2 shoulder patches per jersey, and any future championship banners. Not quite 2500 but getting there.

Great looking board. Can’t wait to see GOAL with UND sticks in the air. This alone should attract people that have never been to the REA before. The best arena just got better.

I think Augie should join as we need more teams to keep the conference strong and who knows what the future holds with teams like IPFW, Oral Roberts and Western Illinois.

Maybe the Title IX folks need to take a trip 70 miles south of UND.

When they get a hawk logo that actually looks good, I would be all for it. The current logo seems like a secondary logo, like this NDSU one. It is fine on the shoulder but would look like s*** on the front of a jersey. The interlocking ND would also look like s*** on the front of a jersey.

Your going to have to come up with something better than seating in the BSA from 5-6 years ago. Especially since all of out sports are fully funded when yours arent. Plus you dont speak for all the voters. But the fact is the FD is still a very viable venue for at least the next 10 years.
Please list what sports aren’t fully funded?

I went to prior to 2010. I went to 08 and 09(the two worst years of D1 football in Fargo) and attendance still was still fine. I dug a little further back and attendance was fine as well, particularly considering how trash their schedules were back then.
If you are talking about the late 90's or early 2000's, yeah. Attendance doesnt look very good relative to nowadays. NDSU has been D1 long enough now and has enough seasons under their belt now to have a pretty accurate baseline of expectations of what sort of crowds will show up. If they can get people to show up during a 7-4 season that followed a 3-8 season which followed a 6-5 season, I'd be very interested in seeing what would have to happen in order to keep people from coming.
I think they got about 12K season ticket holders as well as 3K+ in the student section so just right there the fake attendance requirement would already be satisfied.
People will show up against 3 Dakota teams and UNI, but how many will show up against the likes of Georgia State, ULM, and Arkansas St? Not only would they have the smallest stadium but a trip to the New Orleans Bowl against Middle Tennessee St like the 2018 champs App State did, doesn’t scream excitement.

Ummm NDSU averaged over 15K in 2010 after winning 3 games in 2009 and like 6 games in 2008. So yeah.....uhhh I think NDSU is gonna keep getting 15K plus lmaoooo.
What does prior to 2010 mean to you?

NDSU could go FBS today with the Fargodome without making any increases in seating. The Fargodome meets the minimum standard for FBS capacity and they probably have more FB ticket revenue than a great majority of the G5 FBS schools while they are still in the FCS. They charge as much for a ticket than the bottom third of the Big 10. UND on the other hand would have to get creative with having a "home" game at a power 5 away stadium to work the attendance numbers to qualify. I am not saying NDSU is going FBS anytime soon, but they could with the Fargodome as is.
So you think NDSU is going to have a 15,000+ attendance each game year after year? We saw how well NDSU sold tickets prior to 2010 with a half filled dome and tickets sold at Stop N Go. At least G5 teams have some bigger stadiums so in case they crap out a season they can still make the 15k minimum.

Here is the NDSU report, for those interested. https://www.scribd.com/document/414083370/NCAA-Financial-Report-2017-18-NDSU?secret_password=ZyNO5fOcrqguPNpLqLzt
$119,224 profit? Does that go to legal fees?

NDSU is not moving up to FBS. The biggest accomplishment they could hope for in FBS is 7-5 and an invite to the Whatever.Com Bowl played in mid-December on a weeknight in front of a half-full (at best) stadium on one of ESPN's channels. They aren't that stupid.
Not to mention they would have the smallest dome that the FBS would have (now that Idaho is back to the Big Sky), with no replacement for the 27 year old dome in sight with money problems both NDSU and Fargo has, and by money problems with NDSU I mean they did have to cut corners on the SHAC by reusing old seating from the BSA because money was running out, plus diversion and property tax problems Fargo voters won't accept paying for a new dome. So unless NDSU unveils the 35,000 seat Carson Wentz Stadium, NDSU is in the FCS for good unless there is a split at the FBS level.

Interesting that they made a profit.... ($1.2 million of it)
Now wonder where that will go?
Wonder how this compared to last years report (anybody have that at the ready or know where to find it?)
https://s3.amazonaws.com/undsports.com/documents/2019/5/17/FY_2017_NCAA_Report_Filed.pdf
We had 1.4 mil of profit last year, travel expenses went from 3.1mil in 2017 to 2.8 mil in 2018 so saving $300,000 helps.

I'll do $50 if they pull that off.
I hope you put your money where your mouth is. Bison fans look at 2015 for reference of the upcoming game, UND fans look at recent history. UND is 3-2 since 2000 in the series, and no one from the 2015 game is playing in this years game. Bison has a new coach, new QB, but UND has a new OC which should open the playbook up and put more points in the board. Remember 34-13 UND in 1994, of course you don’t Bison records don’t start until 2010. So I think this game will be a lot different than 2015 with a different team winning.

It was sad to see any sports go but it makes sense based on the facilities and the weather. Frankly I'm surprised we still have softball.
Why isn't softball played in the Alerus all year. I am sure the attendance would be more plus earlier home games will attract more fans instead of waiting for the snow to melt.

I am still stunned at the number of fans who think the Grand Forks star-hawk (don’t get me started on the “hidden North Dakota,” which looks forced and doesn’t even look like the actual state) and the smashed-beak hawk qualify as “good” logo alternatives.
Maybe people like that one more because of who made it and less what it looks like.

So will the Sitting Bull trophy be up for grabs in 2020? UND360 seems to think so. Obviously it wasn't [played for in 2016 and 2017, but will they resurrect the trophy when they are back in the same conference? In this day and age, would UND even consider it?
I don't see why the oldest schools in SD and ND can't play for the Sitting Bull Trophy. Its about a historical burial than two mascots on a coin which the nickel represented. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/28961

Welcome Coach Sather. Looking forward to a great season of UND basketball. Let’s win that Summit League and go to the dance.

Let’s all agree what we want to see on the scoreboard is the word GOAL with UND sticks in the air.
