Not sure what BS that is the sound was the fault of the Alerus. Reading this is sounds like maybe Schmidt doesn't want the distraction of encroaching on the teams prep until they run onto the field. At least that is what I get out of 'balance team focus on the game and production elements of the entrance'. He's more worried about how his team is getting mentally ready vs. the pregame experience for fans. He wouldn't be the first coach to think that way. 1 Quote

Those production elements and entrances really distract and hurt the ag school, don’t they? Anyways, I do agree there is a balance, but don’t overthink it; UND and Alerus Center need to do more.. 1 Quote

Hromadka Hop? Alerus Leap Hawk Hop Ha! The tight end, 84 I think, hopped into my arms. Thought he might bring the whole thing down but thankfully they built it sturdy enough. Those guys are a lot bigger up close 1 Quote

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. 3 Quote

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 2 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 20 Posted September 20 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? 1 Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted September 21 Posted September 21 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? 1 Quote

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.

Cratter Posted September 21 Posted September 21 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. 2 Quote
