Looks like a beast

Sounds like the new business school is already paying off. Erkman mentions it here https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/chicago-area-safety-is-und-footballs-first-commitment-of-the-2023-recruiting-class

Our group of 4 or 5 will be there ready to tailgate!

Great get!

Not sure the game vs. the mighty Bears is even in my top 5 that I am most looking forward to in the fall..

Glad there will be 80+ new hotel rooms downtown Forks Olive Ann boutique hotel holds groundbreaking in downtown Grand Forks https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/olive-ann-boutique-hotel-holds-groundbreaking-in-downtown-grand-forks

Anyone seen the plans for the locker rooms?

Is the Betty getting an overhaul? Anyone have more details? I could have missed it.

Imo the portal has been a net positive for UND this off-season with the O linemen added, the Cal Poly LB, the NDSU D lineman, the Gardner Webb Safety, the JUCO DB (Hembry),and now the UNI RB.

This helps the RB room!

Any plans for a roof on the softball field? I’m joking, but it’s going to be difficult to maintain softball success the way it currently is. Per UND, “The Fighting Hawks have played 38 straight away games since the season began. By the time the season is over, and it is all said and done, the green and white will have played 49 games away from Grand Forks. ”

The Pollard Center Phase 2, Memorial Village, new business school, new union, new dorms and the many other new buildings should boost recruiting in nearly every sport. It would be nice if the university promoted all of these things a bit more via social media, etc.

Some interesting stuff in this article, including a $100 million increase in grants over last year: UND state of campus event notes finances, enrollment and awards https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/und-state-of-campus-event-notes-finances-enrollment-and-awards

Sounds like a good get!
