  1. The Park District was able to get land there. Due to the annual flooding of Mickelson Fields and the dike being expanded there, fastpitch needed something to happen sooner than later. I am sure some development will take place up there. if I had the money I would put up a strip mall with a liquor store, convenience store, and a pub and maybe a quick serve restaurant or two. ideally the use of the Park Districts land on the south side of town may have been preferable, but it is also an area that floods quite a bit and with the unknown diversion plans it made it too much of an unknown. The lagoons up north are only used during pretty serious flooding so hopefully smell won't be much of an issue. 4 fastpitch fields and 9 slowpitch fields will be ready for the 2016 season. Fargo Slowpitch will be moving out of lindenwood and off school diamonds at that time so basically trading 11 fields for 9 lit fields....eventually the 4 fields by Fargo South will be "traded" out for an additional 5 diamond wheel up north and also the west end of the Anderson complex(4 diamonds) will also be "traded" out for an additional 5 diamond wheel up north. There is room for a 4th 5 diamond wheel up north and the use of those is slated for fastpitch if the participation continues to grow. This will turn all the fields in town back to youth programs as with all the helicopter parents these days most parents want their kids games and practices at night instead of during the day. Fargo has landed the 2015 ASA National Class D tourney which will be at Anderson, but the potential for national youth fastpitch tournies is a good thing for Fargo.....I will let you do the math on the economic impact having 80-120 girls fastpitch teams in town for a week with their moms, dads, siblings, grandparents etc.
  2. Was down there a couple weeks ago. Homecoming weekend at ASU, Mill Ave. was jumping! Saw ASU beat Utah in overtime.
  3. Best road trip of the year for me. Have met some great fans(friends) from St. Cloud. Always a good time there.
  4. Doubtful. The time for the Big 10 to add UND would have been a couple years ago.

    I like how everyone is comparing the SEC and the Big 10 in this thread. The Big 10 is a distant and barely 4th among the 5 power conferences.
  7. why am I surprised that this idiot doesn't know anything about college football either? I was telling my buddy who is a gopher fan that so far this year in college hockey that the NCHC is similar to the SEC in football while the Big 10 is like....well......like the big 10
  8. I wouldn't be confident in him knowing and/or understanding much.
  9. Yes, What is your twitter handle?
  10. Have you looked in this section?
  11. $1000/22 +$405/22=fair price...but you can usually find them for a little less or sometimes a lot less depending on the opponent and the weekend.
  12. Haven't heard for sure how long McMillan is out, but he won't be in the line-up this weekend. I am happy to see Taylor Richart is healthy and playing well again. Family friend, good kid.
  13. Those things must get dusty. That looks like about 25 years worth right there.
  14. Might be different rules for a conference game vs. non conference and maybe even a flight vs. bus trip?
  15. No. They just had to own land to be able to vote.
  16. I am not 100% but I think it was a regular game with officials, scorekeeper, etc....similar to what we did when we played Omaha in South Dakota last year or the year before. There is a reason NDSU won't play them anymore, the Dragons are a very good team in the best D2 conference in the country.
  17. I agree, but I don't think it has been a secret in how to slow down the NDSU offense the past few years, the problem lies in having the personnel to be able to cover man to man so that you can stack the line of scrimmage to stop the run and even if you do have that formula on defense you have to have an offense capable of moving the ball and getting first downs and staying on the field long enough to let your defense rest from the pounding they take from the NDSU offensive line, full backs, tight ends, and even their receivers.....they are pretty formidable and you have to have a lot of things go right to beat them. UNI bullied the bully yesterday.
  18. Heard the same thing. Down 24 at half, lost 82-110
  19. Well according to my sources, those D2 kids(Kretchman and Lein) and their MSUM teammates ran UND out of The Betty the other day in a closed door game scrimmage.
  20. Both have democrats for mayors?
  21. Wow. Kingranch got burned there.
