    From TV angles, it looks to be on par with this season's first two games. Nothing spectacular.

    14-9. 12:39.

    http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/3856184-around-town-scottys-deli-welcome-als-grill-fans Lotsa' news! Al's (lite) on S. Washington. New pizza joint on 42nd (a rare chain that is landing in GF before Fargo). Somebody give 'em a try when they open and report back!

    If anyone honestly thinks that the NCAA will have quietly tolerated the atmosphere inside Scheels in 2015 and then freak out and go medieval on UND if the same thing occurs in 2017, there's just no hope for you. Face it...if having the new nickname in place mattered that much to them, there ain't NO WAY IN HELL they would have awarded '17 to Fargo BEFORE the name was firmly attached.

    Listen to yourself. A few months ago, "UND did not have a new nickname" and the NCAA did NOTHING about the Sioux fans and Sioux chants and Sioux flags and Sioux apparel. At its own championship event. And then it proceeded a few months later to give UND ANOTHER championship event, when it still did not have a new nickname. Delusion? I'll stick with facts, thank you.

    My post was about fan conduct and didn't have anything to do with buildings or hosts. The regional was an NCAA event, regardless of where it was held. Sic suggested that the NCAA was waiting to pounce on UND as a direct result of fan conduct at NCAA events and would do anything within its rule making power to do so.I merely pointed out that not only did the NCAA not make a peep about the '15 regional in Fargo -- which happened to have been hosted by UND and where nothing but Sioux could be seen or heard from floor to rafter -- they went ahead and rewarded Fargo and UND with another regional in two years' time. There are only two possibilities: (1) Sic is absolutely right and '17 is the biggest trap in NCAA history; or (2) the NCAA really doesn't intend to do a damn thing about Sioux-related fan conduct now that it is no longer UND's official nickname. My money is on the latter.

    Yes, but the NCAA just hosted a mens hockey regional in Fargo a few months ago. And unless I'm mistaken they didn't so much as ask a "Sioux" fan to clear the aisle. And then, inexplicably, the NCAA just awarded a 2017 regional to…can you believe this…Fargo. So you'll have to excuse people for not running scared from the NCAA right now.

    The only time you are likely to hear A-A-U on NDSU's campus is from a Canadian trying to get your attention.

    Maybe he'll file a Writ of Odious Purpose.
  12. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Punctuation, people!

    Is he bad because he's new, or is he just plain bad?

    So far, Verizon signal solid. REA Guest wi-fi already crapped the bed.

    And there goes "Roughriders Sports Team," admittedly the catchiest nickname of all time. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3852308-und-cant-use-my-trade-names-must-add-north-dakota-nickname-ballot-ex-mayor This could, however, usher in a whole new era of cranky old people blowing their social security checks by filing trade name applications for words and phrases they don't like. STAY OFF MY (VERBAL) LAWN!

    REA has announced its first ever Green-Out for Friday night. According to General Manager Jody Hodgson, "Our number one sellers at the Sioux Shop this week have been officially licensed plain, dark green shirts and pants. We're really excited about Friday's exhibition game, and we know that our leather-clad hockey fans are, too. I can't wait to see them pack the arena."

    And then you realize that you live in Fly Speck, USA -- the gazillionth largest media market in the country, and people who book events actually pay attention to these things, and entertainment opportunities will continue to pass you by. This is Grand Forks' fate, some of which is self-imposed. People need to turn out for stuff, period.

    It blew up on Twitter shortly after it was announced (right around when tix went on sale in early August). If you were on Ticketmaster and searched GF or the Ralph, you would have seen it. It got a brief mention on here (mis-classified in the UND Sports - Other forum, as I recall). And it's been prominently featured at theralph.com. But in light of the crappy ticket sales, I would agree with anyone who says that the REA has taken a dump on marketing.

    I was excited about this game, now I'm thinking they should cancel. Where you at, Grand Forks? Puck drops in four days, and this is embarrassing:
  20. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Too few sales. High labor costs. Owner got bored. Alerus got greedy with the rent. I don't know the answer, but take your pick.
  21. NoiseInsideMyHead
    In fairness to OP, there are probably lots of STH who end up pre-partying/dining/carpooling with their STH friends to games and have no (or diminished) need for individual parking.

    19th edition of the Icebreaker, one of the "top showcase events" for the sport, and options for live media coverage are virtually nil. So much for building the brand of college hockey. Maybe they'll pull out some stops for the big 2-0 next year in Denver.
  23. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Good God. For $400, some folks who live near campus should be willing to provide a driveway and door-to-door chauffeur services. What is that...18 home games?
  24. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Band and pregame video playing over each other right now. Tacky, and embarrassing. (We'll, it would be embarrassing if there were any non-die hards here.)
  25. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Speaking of LJS' demise (in poking around, I see that the store in Sioux Falls closed last year), it is safe to say that the fast food game has permanently changed. Yet among the new and rising stars in the quick-serve universe (pick your list, they're all over the internet), it doesn't seem that GF is on anyone's radar. (Heck, we didn't even get a Panera until very recently, and they were old news.) Same for casual restaurants. Should we even hold out hope?
