Agree with you on that. What are they using the other end zone for? The could sell the other end as standing room only tickets, get some beer tubs that serve that area only, and operate it like the two bars at the ralph with a party/social atmosphere. 150 capacity at say $20 a ticket. Best of both worlds.

What is the plan for the balcony in the other endzone?

This new Peterson Porch sucks for students who are over 21 by the way. No place to watch the game now if they want to sip on a beer.

Curious, would it make a difference to you if they opened up a section for general admission seating?

Biomedical Engineering?! Wow. Good luck to him.. hopefully he gets rich and becomes a major donor!

WIU seems to be doing well despite nearly everyone on their team transferring out. https://www.verbalcommits.com/schools/western-illinois What's the difference between them and us? Sather has been at UND a year longer than their coach, correct? I'm not saying that Sather doesn't deserve more time. Just saying... we seem to be good at finding excuses. https://www.mcdonoughvoice.com/story/sports/2021/10/15/wiu-men-hoops/8466404002/

In other news, the Northern Plains Nitrogen plant, proposed in Grand Forks, will be connected to the Midwest Carbon Express pipeline, if built. A pipeline would be built to connect the plant in GF to the Midwest Carbon Express pipeline near an ethonal plant in Casselton. https://www.agweek.com/business/7345272-Multi-state-carbon-pipeline-adds-Grand-Forks-ND-ammonia-plant-to-plans#:~:text=Northern Plains Nitrogen is developing,has still been seeking investors. Related article from the GFH: Summit Carbon Solutions on Monday afternoon, Jan. 10, sent a press release saying it has formed a new partnership with Northern Plains Nitrogen, a company that has been in talks with Grand Forks developers for the better part of the last decade. In 2013, the announcement of NPN’s potential arrival suggested as many as 135 regular workers could be employed at the plant, which would require well over 1,000 construction workers to build. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/although-no-word-northern-plains-nitrogen-plant-is-imminent-in-grand-forks-press-release-sparks-discussion A representative of Northern Plains Nitrogen says he believes construction on a proposed plant in Grand Forks could begin as early as this year, provided the necessary financing is secured first. Larry Mackie, NPN's chief operating officer, told the Herald on Monday evening, Jan. 11, that as fundraising continues, the company has stayed on top of other planning and organizational aspects — including engineering — in the interim. He said NPN is “absolutely” coming to Grand Forks and “this project will get funded.” In its press release sent Monday, Summit Carbon Solutions noted that the company recently announced “significant milestones in development of its carbon storage facilities in North Dakota, having received state and local permits to collect 3D seismic data and begin drilling stratigraphic test wells, activities which are now underway.” https://www.inforum.com/business/if-financing-arises-work-on-fertilizer-plant-in-grand-forks-could-start-as-early-as-2022-npn-officer-says

I like the part when he referred to himself as the billy bean of volleyball... lol. I like the hire 10/10.

Great article!

UND needs to know what it costs to add seating to the Alerus before they can do anything. This should probably be explored even though action isn't needed here yet.

Sorry to drift this thread so off track. Fixing most of the issues don't take much time - literally just deleting links from the dropdown menu that are about old information or are to web pages that aren't maintained/updated. Takes like 30 seconds.

I was wrong. Looking back, it looks like I sent the message through DM on Twitter, rather than email. I actually pm'd Wigness instead of Chaves, either because I thought Wigness was the best person to contact or because Chave's turned off his DM's. I complained about a bunch of this stuff this spring, and in fairness to Mitch, I sent him a direct link to my post on the same day I posted it. This is the link in my pm to him: https://t.co/mY0i1ZzbPL

Please explain why not? That's literally one click to get there from und's website. Say a transfer is looking at potential schools and reads that.. how does that look good for UND or do anything but hurt? Here's the link to the UND Alumni Foundation... no biggie... not like there is any info about fundraising for phase two anywhere whatsoever anyways... https://undalumni.org/page.aspx?pid=368&errorid=16741238

CHAVES needs to get his head out of his you-know-what and start leading. Guy is a empty suit just coasting and doing the bare minimum... I've emailed him in the past about how embarrassingly outdated our athletics website is, which still includes Media Info about FSN for example, has tons of incorrect or outdated info in numerous areas of the drop down menus, and dead links from the main drop down menus... This here is another example... what the #! https://fightinghawks.com/sports/2011/5/3/205146325.aspx "Student-Athletes are permitted to provide autographs at fanfests, autograph nights, and special events deemed by the UND Athletic Department as well as during their personal time, but at no time can these autographs be used for monetary gain. Compensating student-athletes for their autograph or a photo will result in a NCAA violation that affects the student-athlete's eligibility and chance to compete for UND."

So happy Fenton is now in charge... Summit website doesn't mention anything except there is now randomly some type of streaming page there.

That's new this year right?

Since when are all Summit games not on espn?

Could Orleans be an option too? Maybe they give UNLV a better deal if they are looking for a major tennant for example.

Icon Architects designed an arena soccer arena that was just built in San Diego. Perfect for D1 hockey. https://www.martinmech.com/blog/2019/10/7/arena-califino Nvm. Looks like it's being built too far away.. in Oceanside

nobody is getting paid 1 million to play hockey at georgia. if anyone cared THAT much, they would already have a ncaa hockey program.

No, but if they cut the annual pay of their coaching staff by $700,000 and cut their recruiting budget in half do you think they would expect the same results?

I mentioned earlier that, when evaluating Bubba as a head coach, that budget and other constraints should be considered when doing so. Bubba is doing pretty damn well given the budget that he is dealt with, and if he's replaced, I think it's near impossible that we fill out the staff with equal or better talent than we currently have with an equal budget. It's impressive that Bubba has done as well as he has when guys like Holinka and Freund are paid less than pretty much every position coach at NDSU. https://infogram.com/college-1hd12yxl0vmqw6k

Without much help from that article, that's what I gather. What a poorly worded sentence... "Hovland dismissed the case “without prejudice,” meaning another suit could be filed in the future, but the attorney representing the former players left the door open for potential further action down the line."
