According to the UND administration lackeys on this sitet I guess it just had to be done since fans aren't stepping up enough in other AD financial streams.

Thought I'd put this here.....just got my 25-26 season ticket renewal email. Was expecting it but still kind of ballzy to announce an increase in prices per season ticket in hockey, FB and BB given the $#it show that currently is UND athletics.

So season ticket renewal opens today through May 15. Credit shows up on invoice for last year's prepaid playoff FB and hockey tickets that were of course useless but the increase in season ticket prices basically cancels out the credit. Brillant move by the Twamley bean counters and the athletic department.

Are prepaid playoff tickets a part of it this year or did they wise up

Still on the invoice with credit from not using football or hockey last year

I'm more pissed when they keep raising parking fees for football

Playing Devil's advocate here, the athletic department did make needed changes in the leadership of both FB and hockey. Without those changes, I don't know if I would accept the price increases.

Isn't this the same coach that finished his last season winless?

Yeah I think you are right. So is it related to the title 9 investigation? Once again this shows why we need a change of leadership at the AD position every week there is something else with this department and it is never good.

So you agree the coach went winless in conference play (with one total conference win the last two seasons) and his contract was up and you somehow connect the non-renewal to something else? 

My guess would be expectations were set before the season on what kind of results were needed for an extension and those weren't met...

I agree with you for once. The team goes winless and he's suing on Title 9 grounds? This case is DOA.

I didn’t know there was only one win in two years. If this is connected to the investigation though it could be an issue for the university. Plus I think it would be hard for a coach to recruit athletes that could win any games when you look at the shocking state of their field. Hopefully one day we are able to discuss winning about any of our teams but right now the whole athletic department is a dumpster fire.

The entire field was redone in 2018/19 and their locker rooms are in the REA. 

Overall, it's not a professional level setup, but "shocking state" seems like we're over-exaggerating just a bit

The high school setups for soccer are better in this town than what UND has. They would be better playing at Cushman field if UND is too lazy to build them a proper facility IMO.

Jealousy over Albrecht Field is not a good look. 

Yeah, ... I said it. 

But what what about the FIFA quality pitch??

I don't know FIFA from the neighbor's poodle Fifi ... but I do know less than a decade ago Bronson was scraped and rebuilt (and they played that season at EGF HS).

What they have here at UND far exceeds the levels due or value the program brings to the University.

Complete waste of resources that could be better served by an additional parking lot for the REA.

It's easily in the bottom 2 playing surfaces in the conference.

Not going to pretend whether I know that is accurate or not, but is it correct that it is the only grass field? Which is what professionals prefer to play on?
What about the rest of the facilities?

Logan said the practice field is expected to be completed by the fall, with the timeline for the game surface undetermined. He said the importance has been placed on getting the project done right, rather than hurrying it along.

***

"That's exciting for the program," UND coach Chris Logan said. "It should be a new, premier surface that will enhance the quality of play and the fan experience, as well."

***

"It's another demonstration of support for soccer that the athletic department has embarked upon," Logan said.

From a Herald 2018 article about UND redoing the field.
