This is true but in 20 years UND can do what they want to the building so eventually the logos will be disappearing.

Looks like UND is still growing but NDSU is barely growing. I noticed since Chapman left the % of new enrollment at NDSU has been close to 0%, while UND is up pretty good.

According to that pic Memorial Stadium is shown as is now. I thought they were going to "move" the stadium into a east-west horseshoe shaped stadium but I don't think there would be room with the IPF next door. Am I missing something?

Just switched back to Cable One from Directv...is the FSSN still available on Cable One in Fargo??

http://www.sports-venue.info/NCAAH/Controversy_at_Ralph_Engelstad_Arena.html So in 20 years the logo will be coming off the arena. It is a shame.

The NCAA says some of the logos have to go at the REA...why can't the building be a historical building? If some logos stay due to historical value why can't all the logos stay due to historical value. That Wayne Stenjum really pisses me off the way he f-ed up that settlement.

Then I would start Bradley. Throwing against your own defense is one thing but if Bradley blows it big time against Drake then see what Goska can do against Idaho and evaluate.

If you build it...they will come. If we build a championship team...fans will come.

If he throws 5 INT's against Drake I think Goska should start against Idaho.

When was the last time we had 2 QB's going at it to start the season?

Winning isn't everything....its the only thing. We won't get people in the stands by winning 3 games all year. We haven't had back to back losing seasons since 85-86. So we will bounce back, and attendance will most likely suffer again this year but 2012 is THE year!!

We play Drake in 9 days...when is the big QB announcement coming?

Lets not because we have more class than that.

Plus UND has hockey that fans flock too, what does USD and SDSU fans have to flock too that averages over 11,000 a night? Not basketball. Football is the only game in town, same with NDSU. They can't put 11,000 in the BSA.

2007 (our last year in DII) vs Humboldt St 10,178 vs Cent. Wash 10,743 vs Augustana 12,148 vs Neb-Omaha 11,563 vs SCSU 9320 Playoff vs Winona St 5370 total Avg 9887 or 10,740 (not including Winona St) We can fill the Alerus. I mean 12,148 to see Augustana?!? 10,000+ to see Cent Wash and Humboldt St? In fact since 2001 UND has had 25 games over 10,000 in the seats out of 67 games or 37%. But 5 out of 15 in our transition period that 33% or 38% before. Not great but it shows transition is the #1 reason for attendance woes. Lets just see how attendance does in 2012 and beyond and I bet we rock the house.

I wish there was a way to get a triple header with FB, BB, and hockey in one day that would be great!!!

I don't care who it is as long as he kicks @ss on the field. We need a Dan Marino arm and a John Elway mobility.

We all wish it was them and not us. As for WYOBISONMAN this is such a long offseason, regular football (not preseason) needs to hurry its slow@ss up and get here now!!!

Its so nice to see that Moo U has moved on and is enjoying our nickname issue. Remember what goes around comes around.

And of course like you said its winning. I remember going to hockey games in the 80's and there was always a ticket available and a half empty building (except vs Minny). Now hockey tickets are hard to get. I think football can get that way too if we get some decent opponents (no NAIA or DII crap) and kick some @ss in the Big Sky.

Are we paying for his trip to Washington, just like that useless trip to Indy?

What's your problem?? Did you read the article? Can you read? This tells more about Al Carlson than just the nickname. He wants to give Oil Companies tax breaks but I guess you are too young to drive to care. This guy almost put UND athletics into the ground but you enjoy your pancakes.

Exactly. I think UND is taking the correct steps. #1 secure a conference, #2 IPF, #3 raise money for an outdoor stadium, #4 FBS. And if people are worried about attendance look at hockey we went from 6,067 to 11,700.

I also think being in transition and in a minor league conference with only a conference title to play for is a reason for attendance woes. Just look at our attendance in 2001-2003 at the Alerus they were through the roof. Yes playing NDSU helped but UND had great crowds (minus playoffs against Winona St.). Also the last Sioux game to be cancelled due to weather was back in 90 or 91 against Northern Colorado due to a blizzard where UNC couldn't make it in. UND needs out of the Alerus if and when they explore the FBS. But we still have like 8 years to go on the lease so lets talk FBS next decade.
