Only after repeated playing of the noise did I realize it was intentional and supposed to be a hawk. I must be deaf. The whole PA system is so loud it's distorted. Can't ever understand anything.

Well the times it was played it was also times of loud cheering, so it wouldn't have been that hard not to notice it. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Has the PA system ever been updated since the place opened in 2001? Quote

hky Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 People in our section were covering their ears in anticipation (once we realized that it was intentional and not a malfunction). It was BAD. 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 My group enjoyed it. Adds some uniqueness and homefield flavor for UND Fighting Hawks football. 1 Quote

It was BAD. I was in section 217 and other people were covering their ears also. My ears were really hurting, never had that happen to me before. From comments here, seems like it was only bad in some areas? Out speaker was right above us and was very loud for pretty much every sound that came out, not just the screeching hawk. I called the Alerius today, they referred me to the UND Athletic Department, 777-2234. So I called AD, they will check on it, very friendly. These things sometimes take more than 1 complaint, I encourage anyone with concern to call the AD. I don't want anyone to get me wrong here, I do believe we need loud fans and support this team, but this is a little different. Quote

Well absolutely we need loud fans supporting this team, in fact, we need far more of that. None of this sit back, be quiet, and take a nap on 1st and 2nd down while UND is on defense; be loud the entire time UND is on defense! For those who haven't played or watched much football, it affects the opponent big-time! Think back to 2001 playoffs in the Alerus. Quote

Popular Post ChrisUND1 Posted November 30, 2016 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2016 Let's get a decibel meter going for the game this weekend. Have the camera crew occasionally show it to the fans so they can watch exactly how high it gets as they get louder and louder. 6 Quote

What we immediately, very importantly, mostly need is the student section sold out for the Richmond game. Most seats between the goal lines are sold, except student section and possible in visitors section. These are the most noise impact to the playing field seats left. Hopefully the students fill those seats, and yes a sell out would be better. 2 Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 so in two years with our new conference the alerus turf will probably have six outdated logo's on our relatively new turf (altru is bought out by sanford?)...do they cut all the outdated ones out or what? seems like a lot of seams...does alerus financial just leave the old logo and somehow altru fights of the wolves and we only have to replace the bsc with mvfc?

Would LOVE to finally see a midfield logo on the turf. Anybody know how old the turf would be when we joined MVFC? Old enough to justify a replacement? Especially with the Big Sky and outdated Alerus logos on it. Quote

Found the answer to my own question, it will be eight years old when we join the MVFC in 2020... The wear and tear probably won't be a cause for replacement, but I'd guess the cost to switch out all the outdated logos would be nearly as pricey as buying a new one. Purely an assumption, however Quote
