Interesting. If they won't be on WDAY, they will have less exposure to North Dakotans whether they are on national TV or not imo.

Will their fb still be on wday when streamed or is it exclusive streaming if not on national tv?

EGF vs Thief River HS is on Midco right now and I saw an ad for a new FPHL team that will start playing there next year - Northern Lights. League is pretty interesting and has drawn relatively well in the south. https://www.hockeydb.com/nhl-attendance/att_graph_season.php?lid=FPHL2020&sid=2026 Suprised they are trying to expand so far north. Seems like a good fit for the mini Ralph though.

Maybe wrong thread but EGF vs Thief River is on Midco Sports Plus right now. Maybe Midco Sports Network as well.

UND should be doing this at the ralph https://fargond.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/211769 https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/02/09/how-do-you-create-sports-adjacent-mixed-use-districts-that-are-active-year-round-in-cold-climates/?publicationSource=newsletters&issue=69865c37c2aa6f15ce7ff726&utm_source=sbj&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_facilities

I was looking for it but I may have deleted it or something. All you gotta do is send an email though.

Not according to the polling that they have done for the sole purpose being to satisfy title ix interest/abilities requirements.

This is the opportunity for w hockey advocates to write a letter to the Fargo paper. Their use of prong thee for title ix is a joke. They are likely going to add w wrestling if anything because its cheap despite their prong 3 title ix polling that shows literally zero interest. Equestrian and Hockey would be D1 if they were sponsoring w sports based on interest/abilities as they claim.

I think the midco/Summit deal needs to be renewed before next season doesnt it? Expires after this season?

With the different pricing structures that seem to work best for hocky ($$$$$) and basketball/olympic sports ($), it makes it tough, but it would be awesome if they could figure out a way to somehow break down the subscription silo's between each of the leagues somehow. For example, a CCHA game of the week for non CCHA Midco Sports Plus subscribers. Would add value and it wouldn't prevent someone from buying a CCHA subscription.

Not sure if mentioned but Midco signed with the NSIC conf for Midco Sports Plus, starting next fall.

If the tribes support it, I dont see how it would be tainted. Dedicate a % of licensing rev to na schollarships (rather than the tribe directly). Would be a win for everyone.

A smaller varsion of this, with seating accessed from the upper level that slopes down toward the court, starting from the right side of this picture. Sloped seating would maybe stop 8 ft above bb court, so people in the restaurant at court level could see/hear the arena interior/atmosphere to some degree, perhaps with a rail or tables/booths near courtside. During games people could gather down there similar to the bars at hockey. REA would operate it. Restaurant kitchen could also be used to make meals for team. Somehow work to make it compatible with student meal plans in some way if possible during weekday afternoons.

If that wasnt an option, and without any consideration for bb, it at minimum seems to be time to shrink the ice sheet, regardless, now that SCSU is finally shrinking their sheet. That would save 15 feet in the space adjacent to the locker rooms - could use the additional room to expand team locker rooms or lounge areas or weight room, potentially. Fixed seating in the betty will hopefully be planned in conjunction with the practice facility. Perhaps a second entrence and a legit bar/restaurant connected to club seating. Could be great for hockey/vb/bb pre game and watch parties and the REA could perhaps run a few blackjack tables to help pay for financing.
