Zero chance of expanding the fargodome how you described and with state budget cuts, FargoU had no chance of paying for its own stadium. The city of Fargo isn't chipping in, the fargodome meets their needs. Not to mention either of those would have been at least announced by now to be in place by the 2020 season. And what in the hell benefit would the Mountain West get out of that kind of arrangement? Remember the jokes FU fans made about UND being the outlier in the Big Sky? They may want to go back and look at a Mountain West conference map. Nothing speaks Mountain West like red river valley. It's only 800 miles from Fargo to Larimie, schools trying to save every penny they can would love that travel partnership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba has been there 3 years, You should still be very concerned about the comment made by the Head FB Coach at Hankinson. He was quoted in the paper as saying what kid that plays football in ND doesn't dream of playing for the Bison. He didn't say playing D1 football, he said playing for the Bison. The fact that Bubba has still not beaten NDSU for a ND kid is indicative that the gap is still there and still large. You just have to go back a month ago and Johannasen chose UND over an offer from NDSU too. What a memory you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously think the DE's they have coming in are better than Ott. We will eventually be able to see on the field. That is if NDSU is still in the MVFC by 2020. My theory is NDSU pushed for UND to get into the MVFC because the Summit really needed a 10th team and UND wouldn't/couldn't go without the MVFC invite. NDSU has no intention of being in the MVFC in 2020. They will announce either a new stadium or they will expand seating at the Fargodome by enclosing the corners to make it a bowl, increasing capacity to 26,000 to 30,000 to make an FBS move to the MWC in football only. Great Theory! Are you pumped for the new Star Wars Movie!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a dreamer with this post. The fargo dome isn't expandable. Just ask some real engineers, it'd cost more than building new. As to the money part, the facility is owned by the city and they are maxed out on taxes and have flood protection expenditures staring them in the face. The state won't pay for it. There would be a need to raise at least another 10 million per year to go fbs and I doubt it is doable. The MWC and sunbelt or any g5 doesn't generate enough media revenue to offset this. I admire your optimism though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am some what skeptical on brescanis support for UND getting in these two conferences he liked it because it helped with the scheduling for basketball my skepticism is that he was in trouble with NDUS, this shows he was willing to collaborate with UND and it showed he could communicate this to the board 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, no corner seating unless a new stadium is constructed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats for NDSU football. The City and the Fargo dome dont need anything bigger as they booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
