darell1976 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 WDAZ at 6pm had a story about the Alerus getting new turf. They might go to a grass turf but it would cost 4 million dollars and the earliest would be 2012 before it would be installed if approved. Quote
bisonh8er Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 They definetly need too. Whether people believe it or not stuff like that doesn't help with things such as recruiting. Not only that but it really takes a toll on the players body because it has little to no give when you land on it. Quote

So was the new practice facility. These kids are believing these promises. 1 Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 What happened to the plans to re-build the Memorial Field on campus? There were at one time some renderings of what prospective stadiums might look like but not they have vanished off of the internet. Does anybody know how much longer we will be at the Alerus? Quote

If I could only remember all those renderings I have seen from UND/Grand Forks over the years. *National hockey hall of fame *Car/aerspace museum *lightrails *new alumni center *remodeled memorial union (somesort of big UND sign on the outside). fyi they have not vanished off the internet. just go to JLG Architects website. If I remember correctly the open air horseshoe design was no longer apart of the "plans" but who knows. Sweet pics of the ralph and alerus center on the JLG website. Quote

How sweet would it be to watch Sioux football in that facility!?! I wonder how much something like the horse shoe bowl would cost? Quote
Cratter Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Thank you! How sweet would it be to watch Sioux football in that facility!?! I wonder how much something like the horse shoe bowl would cost? Depends how nice it is. But well over a $100 Million. My guess would be like $150,000,000-$200,000,000. Quote

Keep scheduling SDSM, Black Hills State, Montana Western etc. and they can play the games at Valley Middle School field. 1 Quote
UND92,96 Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Not sure if this has been mentioned in another thread or not, but according to a news report on WDAZ last week the Alerus will be getting new turf prior to next season. Quote
Cratter Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Wonder what they will put in the end zones? Quote
Cratter Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 "North" in one end and "Dakota" would be my guess. Quote
supersioux Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Would they put "North" in the north endzone or the south endzone Quote
geaux_sioux Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 The practice facility would come long before the new stadium. The day we see that started is the day we should discuss the new stadium. The whole design with the entire campus is a 20 year plan so we get to sit on our hands for awhile. And just look at what the Vikings have gone through to try and get a new stadium, unless we get a massive donation any time soon we will wait for a long long time. Quote
Cratter Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 All we gotta do is get $1,000,000 from 200 people. Jim Kleinsasser, Toews, Parise.... Quote

dakotadan Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 It would be neat to see black endzones so they stand out a bit from the rest of the green turf. Maybe put an outline of the state of ND at midfield with small stars showing GF and Bismarck. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Black end zones, interlocking ND at midfield, and Big Sky logos at the 25s! Now that would be beautiful in my opinion. Quote
dakotadan Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Black end zones, interlocking ND at midfield, and Big Sky logos at the 25s! Now that would be beautiful in my opinion. Notre Dame plays at the Alerus? Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Notre Dame plays at the Alerus? Well most schools place their logo at midfield, and currently our only logo is the interlocking ND. In addition, Notre Dame's logo is not interlocking and Notre Dame doesn’t use a logo at midfield anyways. I guess I would just hate to see a blank midfield. Quote
dakotadan Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I just absolutely hate the interlocking ND logo. It's not our logo. That is why I suggested putting an outline of the state at midfield. Quote
dmksioux Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 The 'D' in the interlocking 'ND' logo is an outline of the state. Quote
bincitysioux Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I've always like the interlocking ND, I suppose because I'm more of a football fan than anything else. It has been a constant in the althletic department forever. The Indian head logo has been changed so many times over the years it has been hard for me to latch onto. I know you don't like it because of its subtle similarity to Notre Dame's use of the same letters of the alphabet, but when I see a New York Mets hat, I don't confuse it with a Yankees hat.............. 1 Quote
zonadub Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Have to say I don't really think the arc'd NORTH DAKOTA at the Betty is all that great.... Much prefer the interlocking ND that they have on the helmets or the shoulders of the hockey jerseys Quote
