The recipe isn’t all that complicated

1) cool intro video 

2) Schmidty leading out the boys from the locker room to the field with a cool song

3) lean into the 701 with the ND flags running out on the field with some lights/pyro.. 

4) national anthem 

5) win game

If we are leaning into “701” have a Hawks flying the state vs players dancing and highlights from weeks prior for pregame.  
 

The whole thing is such a boring experience and I can’t believe it hasn’t been solved over the years.  Copy someone or something that works.

I’d say both - hawk flying the state and key cities/places and also highlights from previous weeks … this isn’t rocket science. Get it done UND and Alerus

with AI can't you just ask it to create a video of a hawk attacking vikings, gophers, bison, bears....sholdn't be that hard...call up the chapgpt guy if you have to..isn't he a gf or und guy?

Sorry to beat a dead horse but the intro still sucked

Better than the last, at least the sound was cranked up.

But yes, we need better

Still needs to improve, but was unrealistic for us to see major change in just 2 weeks. Maybe 2026 will be the year of major improvements to the entrance and in-game productions?

Maybe 2027!

maybe less pyro and blaring sound....

more drums, bagpipes, and trumpets and junkyard dawgs....

kauker and gretsky leading them out of the tunnel with pitbulls pulling on their leashes....

Maybe both…

Greg Brockman, Red River High class of 2007, audited courses at UND while in high school, later dropped out of MIT, and then co-founded OpenAI and is its current president.

Wonder if Greg has any ChatGPT money for NIL?

Sounds like a great time to also introduce new presentation and new exciting entrance …

[Cratter]

Sound system seems fine to me. The lines go fast for entry....if youre a regular like most on here should be you should know about the "secret shorter" lines by now.

See they have a "grab and go" section for quick chips and pop for skipping long lines. Nice touch.

Nice new automatic doors between the hotel and arena. Nice touch.

No complaints from my end....just still waiting for them to build a club lounge on the end zone walkways on a newly installed second floor above the walkers.

That should make the pre-game football Pointpoints pop (sarcasm).
