I have not had a bad experience for an outdoor game yet, I have been to 3: UND @ UNO TD Ameritrade Park; Ohio State @ UMN - TCF Bank Stadium(Hockey City Classic) and Wild vs Blackhawks @ TCF Bank Stadium (Stadium Series). Hockey City Classic felt like below zero temperatures, but having outdoor club seats with a indoor warming house for inbetween periods helped that out alot. Has anyone heard for sure if Sioux Falls entered a bid for the Western Regional? I know ESPN Radio in Sioux Falls said they were preparing to for one of the upcoming years, but haven't heard anything since. Denny Sanford Premier Center is a great rink, and the USHL team does really well in attendance, also alot of UND Fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Looks like the Carrier Dome at Syracuse. And I like the idea of Sioux Falls. Helps us expand our brand down there. I wouldn't mind seeing a tournament there in early season sponsored by Midco with us Mankato and some eastern teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, as @nodakvindy pointed out, Syracuse University hosting an AHL game between the Syracuse Crunch and Utica Comets at the Carrier Dome. The event was called the "Frozen Dome" and it was honestly really cool! Wish I could've gone! As far as I could tell that was the first hockey game, or at least big hockey game, at the Dome and that is awesome!!! Dome has been home to many greats like.....well...idk how many you guys would know....how about Donovan McNabb? So the only way our boys in Green will play in that venue is if Syracuse get's their s**t together and forms a program! Don't tell me Syracuse people don't care about hockey, because the attendance in that picture is equal to Cuse vs Villanova, UConn, Georgetown, Duke, you name it. I'll fight my entire life for a North Dakota vs. Syracuse men's hockey game. It will happen, so help me god. But yea, anyway, Alerus would be fun to see a game played but if there are better venues then they should get the bid...Oh well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hockey games in domes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 It would be bad in general, but watching a hockey game from the Alerus crosswalk could be cool if the ice was positioned on one end of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
