Had a really good turnout of people for the afternoon games!
People, get out and see how fun the B actually is...
IF you think sioux hockey fans have pride, check out the smalltown crowd lol
The question is how much gas is left in the tank
Hope dickin is all right cuz if he isnt, we wont have a full team
i think we are probably one of the most hated programs in college hockey behind Minnesota
Gershman pretty much shut him up in giving an example about how UND is a tennant and they pay to rent it.
And as the leasee, they have the obligationg to keep the tennant happy.
Kinda like apartment renovations. gotta keep the tenant happy if they are going to keep renting
he wanted to know how much money they were going to make on a best case worst case average case scenario with und football. also wanted to know why und couldnt give the whoel 2 million now becsause 1 million 10 years from now isnt worth 1 million today with inflaation
its damn near impossible to predict
Guess they do average 40-50k per game in profit
UND commited 2 million
1 million up front and atleast hundred grand a year for ten years
Grandstrand wanted to vote it down. Gershman was trying to talk sense in him. Got kind of heated but in the end finally got passsed with even bjerke voting it a go and grandstrand the only disenting vote. Grandstrand was pretty annoying in this whole debate. If he ran a busines he would prolly fail. He needs to learn how to make quality decision and not quantity
Also UND tacked on 2 more years to there lease and is going to a good faith in having more events there
Probably not much new here but found this tidbit in this article http://www.twincities.com/vikings/ci_19996825
