...attached to the north side of the betty with the restaurant serving as a club lounge at the top of new permanent end seating. Could be another P3 project if needed. New practice courts could be built in conjunction with the project. I'm not an architect or engineer, but it looks like the roof could easily be removed/raised on the north side of the beam. Edit: I think the other side is the north end but you get the idea.

random question. anyone know how many hotel rooms there are in GF? Bonus points if you have a link that shows hotel info for other cities as well.

They constantly hammer statement number 4 and then they wonder why fan interest has gone down.

If UND has a strong showing in Youngstown we will have two weeks to build hype and sell tickets for the SDSU game. As mentioned, this is also a classic UND let down game. Hopefully Bubba can show that the worm has finally turned in GF!

Despite a lot of people criticizing him and his arm strength (not so much this year), plays like this are the reason I've always been a Tommy advocate. His high completion rate isn't just luck or a result of the system we run - he has an "it" factor to his game. Same with the lack of sacks he takes, especially last year. His pocket awareness is special.

First Holm then Siegel - not a fan of risking our best CB's on special teams. Would like to see younger Wide Receivers get touches there.

I don't think feufung is a threat, but the negative perception is. Not worth risking uav investment imo. And holy crap. There are a ton of new restaurants in town that I've never heard of. Jealous. Tavern had great wings 10-15 years ago but they have always had the WORST service. Never been to a place with such consistently bad waitresses. I liked their uniforms though. Grand Forks could use an ice cream place with huge portions and lines down the road. Kegs had the best potential for a place like I'm thinking, but it was kinda dumpy (but good). Is kegs still in business?

These are sick!

The football and recruiting pages for other sports are helpful and they usually stay updated fyi

Go to the Sioux Sports wiki page and click NCAA Hockey Links at the bottom of the page. I don't think it has been updated in a while. lol

Found an old list https://wiki.siouxsports.com/doku.php/hockey/ncaa_hockey_links

Not sure why mavpuck doesn't have sections for other sports. Would get better traffic.

They get about half. I think we all know that by now.

Pretty sure the coaches poll is still used as a data point. https://herosports.com/football-coaches-poll-problem-bzbz/

Summit released a new fan rewards program/app that looks pretty neat. http://thesummitleague.org/news/2022/9/30/general-fanmaker-set-to-elevate-summit-league-app-with-rewards-program.aspx

More band is always the answer. I'm curious if the reason UND insists on monetizing the bridge deck is because the REA agreement allows them to retain 100% of Alerus Center "club" seat ticket revenue, rather than only the 48% that they get to keep from traditional seats. So say UND charges double for bridge deck tickets, they would actually net 4 times the revenue of a traditional seat (instead of double).

Thanks for the insight and for stopping by. Will you be in town for the game?

I think so too. At least that's where it was on the 2018 master plan. I don't think that necessarily means anything in regard to what the re-imagined seating will look like, though. https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/planning-process.html (It says 2022, but as of this moment, the Athletics Plan is 2018's)

Permanent? I hope so. They used the same verbiage for the Betty as they used for the re-imagined end seating at the Alerus. We certain they aren't replacing the risers with a drink rail and a black curtain to block the view?

Given how much money this website has proactively donated through the lets help bubba campaign, and considering the large amount of discussion and frustration that has been expressed here (and for such a long period of time) I think the least they could do is log on, in an official capacity, to answer some questions or give a little insight into their process/vision. They have been saying they have been close on phase two for over a year now, yet there has been no public fundraising phase? No renderings? Not a single mention of the project or even the general vision for the project on any of the official websites? The "give now" section on the Alumni Foundation website doesn't even list Phase 2 as a donation option? https://undalumni.org/Athletics. Chaves and the Alumni Association/Champions Club are great at blowing off my emails when I've asked specifically about this, however. I would donate to phase 2, but I'm still waiting to get asked - either personally or through a public fundraising phase! Yet football fans get ridiculed for being impatient or for trying to spend other people's money... Bubba has sent a thank you card every time I've donated through the "lets help bubba" fundraising drive on this website. After the football guys sent out an email this summer for the food campaign thing, I made a small donation and then quickly received another thank you card from Bubba yet again, and that's not even his job. I'll say it again - the people who's job it is to do this stuff aren't even trying. I'M SURE THAT ISN'T ACTUALLY THE CASE, but it's the impression that myself and many others have gotten, and I think that viewpoint is justified. If Upper levels of UND and the Alumni Association actually read this, I hope you seriously consider the implications of that.

Teama Team Makers nets 700k a year from charitable gambling. UND doesn't even try.

Has the Champions club even announced how much money they raised last year?

Curious if he elaborated at all? I don't doubt it, but did he say how he came to believe that or who he heard it from? The Oregon/Big Ten/Hockey addition rumor doesn't add up to me though.. would Oregon adding hockey really move the needle for their admittance to the Big Ten? If the league didn't help Illinois get over the hump with how close that school was to adding hockey, I just don't see how it would make any difference to the Big Ten if Oregon added hockey.

Like I said
