Just my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Maybe use the goal horn on 3rd down like NE does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are already working on the suites and press box, maybe they are reinforcing the roof to the suites along the entire sideline? Maybe this would allow them to have a new ticketed space up there, or additional media could go up there, allowing the bridge decks to be opened up 100% percent again as they used to be?

In fact, fans should be up making noise the entire time the defense is on the field, not just third down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just getting too old but I don’t like screaming into the microphone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcer starts it with like 30 seconds on the play clock even when the offense is still in the huddle and he ends up running out of breath/steam by the time they are even thinking of hiking the ball. I usually am standing, but don't start making noise until their offense is getting close to snapping. Maybe he can say something right away, then start in later on something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a better idea of what's planned? Pretty sure the meetings are public. Here's a tidbit from the Sept Commission meeting notes: https://www.grandforksgov.com/home/showpublisheddocument/45842/638040373690100000 "Suite remodel is out for bid and there will be a walk through later today. This will be more of a cosmetic upgrade of flooring, counters, seating. The upper-level press box area is an alternate in the bid and will be converted into more of a suite environment and be the new 400 level. Bids open November 10 which will not be available for the next F&R but for the next Commission meeting. He also discussed the new metal detectors for entrance 1 that we are looking to purchase next year." No mention of whatever the roof deck is though.

Now I hear about the first word and the rest is covered by people cheering/screaming/clapping. I prefer how he did it in the good old days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Shoot. Missed opportunity. And with a roof it'd have to be cooler than outside in August. https://morrisvillemustangs.com/news/2023/7/18/general-suny-morrisville-unveils-black-turf-at-stadium.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Snapper 92 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 We need to keep the students in their seats the entire game! Not quite sure how to do that, but maybe some type of "Hawk Squad/Cheer Squad" to be led by the student section? or led by a Student Pep Squad?? Incentives to keep the students in their seats, maybe more "Bubba Bucks" or other prizes for sticking out the entire game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to prevent someone, who is of age, from having a beer in their seat. Would help to get students in the door who would otherwise tailgate and go home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
