The REA prints out and mails out the football tickets. Anything over the cost of doing that is directly stealing from the football program. And that is why Kennedy approched KEM about. 345K a year is a lot of money. What was the donation amount by the Engelstad foundation allocated to the football program last year? I'm not great at Math either, but I am pretty sure it was less that 345K.

Move the Soccer Field. It is used 3 and a half months out of the year and hosts 9 home games. The rest of the time it goes unused. Mostly during the hockey season. Not sure why the soccer team couldn't play at Memorial Stadium. NCAA allows for turf fields. With the HPC now built, you would think the football and soccer teams could organize practices and soccer games to not interfere with each other. Turn the soccer field into a parking lot. Adds more surface lots for the students during the year and adds much needed parking for hockey and other events at the REA.

That's probably the better option. Makes no sense that an arena originally built in the middle of a field does not have enough parking.

They need to make this waste of a grass space parking as well.

For context, the Old Ralph at one time until the last game there had the geometric logo on all 7 of the National Championship banners. The WCHA Championships I believe had just the year and "WCHA Champions" on it..

Well, REA did put banners in the Betty with the fighting Hawks logo. So clearly it would be the REA not wanting to offend the hockey fanbase by using it on a hockey banner.

So what logo will be on the next banner that gets hung from the rafters? the Fighting Hawks logo or the "North Dakota" script. Unfortunately, it would likely be the stupid script!!

Not the real REA twitter account.

I doubt the REA can claim a piece of the scoreboard with the logo on it has "historical significance." Banners yes. probably not scoreboards.

Yeah, cause renderings like these can often take two years to make and are nearly impossible to update!

Is there enough room there? Trying to figure out how they are going to hang those video boards at the ends.

I think we can ALL agree they at least got one thing right on the rendering......We are beating Minnesota 4-1 in the first period!!

"Current video boards on the top row of the current center-hung will be moved to both the North and South ends of the arena." Wondering why this is necessary. Witht eh size of the new scoreboard, who is going to be looking at the ends for a replay. I guess it doesn't make sense to jsut not use them. Jsut saying it seems a little odd.

You can't deny the unwillingness of the REA to display the new Fighting Hawks logo. Do we really need to go through all the examples? If you don't think that the REA is actively resisting adopting the new logo, you are either blind or ignorant.

Also showing a video on the screen of a player with the old jersey with the interlocking ND on the shoulder not the Fighting Hawks logo. People can say it is nitpicking, but it is obviously intentional by REA.

With the smaller screens screens underneath the scoreboard, I seems that that circle part would be in the way and obstruct the view from the bench and lover bowl.

Impressive!!

Might need to change them to white numbers!!

UND Football 360 with a great write up of what to look forward to with a new look offense!! https://undfootball360.com/news/an-early-look-2019-fighting-hawk-offense/

Outscored 17-7 to end the half. Can’t have that. Need to stop settling for 3’s and get it down low. Bench needs to be more involved too. Alright regroup and win the second half.

We were killing down low. Now settling for 3’s. Need to keep getting it in the paint.

Two average teams fighting it out. Should be a fun, exciting, frustrating game!!

Jacks attempted 20 free throws. UND attempted 1.

Not sure what it looks like in person, but man does the new green paint on the Betty floor look bright on TV!!
