I don't even think a rolled up newspaper will help him now. All he ever seems to do is to talk out of the exit end of the digestion track.

Schmitzzz Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Bison Sports Center...now there's a venue...you gotta bring your own foam padding or you'll end up with a sores...drink a flat beer and pee in a galvanized trough...very classy... I, for one, enjoy nothing more than peeing in a trough (except maybe peeing in the old Whitey's urinals that went all the way to the floor)... can't explain why.

Your Cletus avatar made that post exponentially funnier. My favorite is the RRV fairgrounds concert area. After a couple 1/2 gallon beers about 75% of the people mistake the floor for the trough. I'd hate to be the poor SOB that has to clean those things the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisonfan1234 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Sica your clouding the issue with fact. That probably doesn't work with this moron. I suppose he think BSA is a better venue that the Ralph. Since when does someone's opinion become fact? I guess anything that praises UND is fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I guess anything that praises UND is fact. It is a fact that one of the NHL's top hockey coaches praised the REA. It would be the equivalent of Bill Belichek calling the FargoDome the best football facility in the world. And we all know how likely it is that will happen.

The Sicatoka Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Since when does someone's opinion become fact? That would include yours then too. Forgive me for placing a higher value on the opinion of a man at the pinacle of his profession, namely Andy Murray, head coach, Los Angeles Kings, when it comes to judging hockey arenas.

Basil Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Having worked at the Excel and spent a lot of time in it, I can say the REA is easily a "better" arena Did they fire you for trying to add the "E"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonMav Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have never been to the REA, and don't ever plan on going to the REA. If the REA is being compared to the Xcel, it must be a nice modern arena. I am an old school guy that would take Chicago Stadium, Boston Garden, Maple Leaf Gardens, Montreal Forum, over any other arena. I even enjoyed the old Met or Winnipeg Arena. Today my favorite places to watch hockey are the Wakota Arena in South St Paul and the Hastings Arena. Something about the old wooden rafters that make me feel like I am at a real hockey game, and not at a corporate show and tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the only seats you could come by during the Celtics Championship years in the mid 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks and so it isn't as cut and dry as it used to be. Heck, there's ads on the boards at the local high school arena here in town, though there are noticably less than at the Ralph. Corporate atmospheres are one thing, but corporate arenas are a reality at most NCAA, semi pro, and pro levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obnoxiously over done as if its builder was dying. That a way Ralph, do the exact opposite of what you did to build your fortune. Not that UND cares about you, they just wanted your money to get their precious figure skaters out of that horrible dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That a way Ralph, do the exact opposite of what you did to build your fortune. Not that UND cares about you, they just wanted your money to get their precious figure skaters out of that horrible dump. The catch is this: Ralph Engelstad, not UND, made every construction decision on the building. If Ralph used his money and his decisions to build a building for a team he used to play for and his zealous love for that team came through in the building, so be it. If it was at the southwest corner of University and 17th Ave N in Fargo, instead of that half-bricked Morton building that is there, I'm sure it would get a much better rating from you.

What's interesting about that list: Those are all "parking lots" today (except for Winnipeg Arena which is slated for destruction after True North Centre opens this fall).

Not that UND cares about you, they just wanted your money to get their precious figure skaters out of that horrible dump. I see the Bison folks still have a serious case of Sioux envy. I thought it might end once they made it to the "big-time". Or maybe D1 Midgets isn't as "big-time" as they were led to believe. Why are you concerned with the Sioux and their facilities? You're going to be playing at St. Mary's of Cal and all the rest of those big-time programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
