darell1976 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 I think it is time to beging long term planning for a new football home. The Al sucks. Hopefully the IPF is step one with step two (upgrading Memorial Stadium) on the timeclock. Anyone know when the lease up with the Al? By the time that is up, move into the "new" Memorial Stadium, and then do a FBS study. (I think UND will be in the FBS in 10-20 years). Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 But they do provide revenue for Alerus Financial which is a big contributor to North Dakota athletics. i see in the fall 2012 alumni review that Wells Fargo just gave the spirit campaign between 25k-100K....i looked up alerus and they are in the 100k-500k. Can anyone look up see the exact amounts that each company gave the spirit campaign? Just wonderig how close the two donations are (Wells Fargo maybe gives 80k and Alerus 105K?)...just wondering Quote
homer Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I was at Scheels tonight and wonder if they would be willing to donate to the IPF. I understand they probably wouldn't give the $5 million they gave to NDSU for their basketball arena but even half that would get us started on the IPF. With the commitment they made to the new store in Grand Forks along with how well UND merchandise sells in Fargo (I don't want to get anyone too butt hurt over conversations I've had), I'd say the school has made them some good money. It would be a nice investment to open the new store. Quote

It would be a nice investment to open the new store. The owners are big NDSU supporters. I'm sure that was a major reason for the donation. It never hurts to ask, and someone probably has at least approached them, but I would be surprise if they made that large a donation to UND. Something smaller is much more likely. Quote
UND92,96 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Speaking of Scheel's... Eric Peterson @FargoBigE "@SanfordTimG: .@Scheels gives $750K for #SiouxFalls ice facility....that facility will sit on @SanfordHealth Sports Complex" ExpandReplyRetweFavorite Quote
UNDBIZ Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Speaking of Scheel's... Ok, that's the last straw!! I'm done shopping there until they give UND at least $2 million *Good thing I just dropped some $$ there on Sioux gear and need to take a break anyways. Quote
gfhockey Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 i quit shopping at scheels long ago. Wayover priced Cabelas for hunting/fishing sioux shop for sioux gear (found scheels is way over priced) gerrels/playitagain for hockey golf center for golf 1 Quote

They have had a good sized store in Sioux Falls for about 20 years. I would guess that the $750K is closer to what they might give to UND at some point, maybe less because of the UND-NDSU thing.

Yeah it was mostly sarcasm from me, I'm sure I'll be back in Scheels within a month or 2 (no less often than usual). Although I am telling myself I need to make more of an effort to purchase stuff from the Sioux Shop rather than Scheels. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Buy UND stuff from the shop in REA. Why? REA profits ultimately end up back with UND. 2 Quote
FSSD Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I used to stop at Scheels all the time when I am back in the Dakotas... we still have the homestead farm place back home. BUT, I have stopped going to Scheels since the donation to NDSU. The services Scheels provide are easily replaced and I stop at the SiouxShop in REA every time I am back. Quote

You should inform the Scheel's folks of your change in habit. Quote
FSSD Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 You should inform the Scheel's folks of your change in habit. I am sure the two or three hundred I drop on gear yearly for various activies doesn't mean too much to them - IMO not worth wasting my time on them. Quote
zonadub Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 wasn't sure where to put this. also, don't know when this happened, but funny, none the less Quote
dmksioux Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 wasn't sure where to put this. also, don't know when this happened, but funny, none the less It happened earlier this fall, possibly homecoming at UM-Crookston. I saw it posted a few places elsewhere... Quote
Cratter Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Good way to get publicity. They should have left it. Ha Quote
darell1976 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 For a second I thought it was at TCF Bank Stadium. Quote
FSSD Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I think Brookings had a problem with something like this a year ago... they covered it up with a pained football. But, I was told it looked very strange. It was for one of the big Bowl games in Brookings. Quote
YAWNSON Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 UMC was just trying to gain an edge in field position. Geez! Have to win something. Quote
jdub27 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 And new turf again.... Wonder if UND could find a use for it and get a deal on the stuff being replaced similar to what NDSU was able to do. Not sure where it could be installed though? Soccer field? Quote
