Either way we're in for a loss. Port is heavily vocal in his opposition to college sports and McFeely's a mouth for NDSU.

Actually, McFeely has been very harsh with NDSU over the years. It got to the point where Craig Bohl refused to come on with him because of some things he said on the radio.

They are 100% correct.  They take a home game move it to a smaller arena that they have to rent that is a 3hr flight away.  No wonder we have budget issues.

What I heard on the radio, they don't takeaway any home games. We would have the same amount of home games whether they played this game or not.

The same complaint the Bison fans cried about with Target Field and it's not true, according to whoever was interviewed on the radio (don't remember who it was). "They don't lose a home game with destination games" NCAA is the NCAA...Isn't it?

McFeely changes his stances depending on which way the wind blows and which view will get him more clicks. He's been pretty solidly behind NDSU since moving back to the Forum.

Case in point, his response to SFI that he doesn't necessarily think that athletics should take on the same cuts as academics with the current budget cuts.

Hall of Fame game is exempt from the NCAA amount of games...meaning it's one extra game for the teams in it.

But the ralph could have had it at the Ralph and have in the past.

I really don't know how a game in Seattle would go. It's kind of hard to find college hockey fans here, and Key Arena is not a good arena. ShoWare Center seats about 6,500 - probably not big enough. Comcast Arena (in Everett) would work OK and seats about 10,000. And the weather during hockey season sucks. Not a great college hockey destination.

1)   It's not just about growing the sport but also growing the visibility of the program for recruiting.

2)  Outdoor games are way overdone....and the college only outdoor game is hopefully a thing of the past.....

However UND playing in an outdoor game as part of a NHL Winter Classic event????  Now it's a party.

3) Toronto.  Marquee match up with a BU or BC or an (at some point in future improved Michigan).. or a 4 team weekend 2 NCHC 2 B1G or Hockey East

FRI UND vs BU BC vs UMTC

SAT UND vs BC.  UMTC vs BU

4) One step further ..Montreal....oh geeze Sioux fans loose in the clubs of Montreal could be ......uffda.

5) Washington DC
