The Sicatoka Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Agree, disagree, no matter, the data point remains: UND just lost a verbal commit QB to a G5 FBS. That would lead me to believe that even shoe-string budget G5 FBS has a stronger pull than FCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 UND to the American League Central Division. Twins are going down! NDSU to the Premier Liga Mexicana. (Time to show those Pumas who is really boss in a soccer stadium!) SDSU and USD will migrate to the CFL. The Grey Cup is coming home! The remaining Big Sky Conference and MVFC schools will combine and form the Big Valley Lacrosse League. Major League Lacrosse will be forced to fold.

Lastly, I've attended 85% of the men's basketball games the last two seasons. But for some reason you gleaned that I don't care about any other sport but hockey. Why would I spend money attending a basketball game if I am a hockey only guy? I will cheer for UND no matter what conference they're playing in. I guess I must have gotten lost when I attended the Men's and Women's basketball luncheon at that start of the year. That clueless comment doesn't even make sense.

FSSD Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Have you been to the Dakota Dome. The most you can seat is around 5,000/6,000 per side. I do believe that total number is going to be just over 9,000 TOTAL after the renovations. They would need to add to the end zone to get over 10,000.

SiouxVolley Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 USD averaged 9345 last year. Those numbers must be added. The USD board has the right capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Noticed that the USD message board has now capitulated to the smaller size. The renovation gives fatter people room now to go comfortably to a game. People in the 70’s were more slender. That Dome can be much more easily expanded than the FargoDome. It doesn’t have a fabric roof now as it’s metal and doesn’t have corner beams like the FargoDome. No wonder USD seemingly supports Sanford’s Augie plans.

Maybe UC Davis gets five years at the lower level of FBS and then they move to the MWC Poly and Sac St will at least follow Davis through the initial steps..

SiouxVolley Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Cal Poly announced a 4000 seat expansion to its football stadium to its Vision 2022. 2022 is just before I expect there to be many schools transitioning to FBS. Since Alex Spanos stadium used to seat 11,075, this should take it above the magic FBS number of 15k. Funny, there is no demand for Mustang seats lately, but Cal Poly feels the need to do an expensive stadium addition over RR tracks never the less. http://mustangnews.net/uu-expansion-off-campus-housing-among-changes-announced-in-2035-campus-master-plan/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Sacramento just had the co-owner of the Pittsburgh Penquins enter into its group to get an MLS team. The group needs to have a stadium like Minnesota United to get an MLS expansion team. Sac St has an FBS stadium, but this would be an improvement. It really needs an upgrade over its Jr High gym, but it could play where the Kings play b-ball. https://ussoccerplayers.com/2019/01/sacramento-upgrades-its-mls-expansion-bid.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 CWU has finished a $10 million renovation of its football field, making a separate track and field oval and ridding the football field of it.

Next year, there will move up to DI like Dixie St -likely a revised Big Sky. https://www.dailyrecordnews.com/news/year-in-review-no-cwu-shows-dedication-to-football-with/article_4ce9f894-6fc5-5b29-bfc5-044318e9ce3a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
