When you own the facility, things are a bit different... 

does UND set the tailgate fees or the city

Does Engelstad get any of the parking fees

seems to me UND can put any fee they want on tailgate fees just as Montana state does

UND has to pay the Alerus Center for all tailgating, Champions Club and any other parking spots they control access to. No clue what that is, but I'm assuming it is defined through the usage agreement. They then work backwards from there to come up with a balance that encourages tailgating and rewards donors with not losing money.

The Alerus Center chooses the rates and collects the parking fees for the rest of the lots and also control the Suite/VIP parking.

Yeah, it's actually really complicated - much more so than it needs to be.  The word parking is used 116 times in the usage agreement.... For single game tickets, UND gets a percentage of net profit from parking based on scanned attendance.  Based on the usage agreement, the Alerus Center must have needed UND's permission to raise the single game parking prices from $10 to $15.

Was looking at the schedule this fall. Our away games are

Kansas State

Montana

UNI

SIU

South Dakota

Murray State

That would have been a guaranteed at least 5 losses with previous staff, and then have NDSU and SDSU at home. Need to get through those road games with only 3 losses at the most, only 2 would be better. 

Tough start to our schedule but November home games against NDSU and SDSU could have the Alerus rocking if we are still in it.

He basically rescued the program and set us up, now it's up to Schmidtty to capitalize and finally get us over the hump

Schmidt does not have a mess to clean up like Bubba did when he was hired. That should speed things up.

Weren't two of Bubba's best years with Muss's recruits?  Granted Muss didn't do much with those players but they were left here for Bubba.

Bubba, took the team from 3 Wins, to 5 Wins, to 7 Wins, than to 9 Wins.  I guess the 7 and 9 win teams had Muss Recruits on them, but Bubba and his staff are the ones the got the wins.  I can't give Muss credit for what Bubba got done those years.  Ironically Muss had very good Offensive players and Bubba got the team to play decent Defense, which resulted in Wins.  Toward the end of Bubba time we were praying for a Decent Defense.

I know for sure that Golladay left and didn't play for Bubba.  Not sure how many stuck around vs. left.   Maybe couldn't have kept him but I blame the admin for not having a chance because the search took so long.

I don't think anything or anyone could have kept Golladay here.   He had the FBS mindset and knew he was good enough to have a shot at the pros.   I never blamed Bubba for Kenny leaving.  IIRC he announced for NIU within days of Muss being gone so the long search made no difference.

I don't remember the timing, exactly.  I'm sure you are right.  He was gone before Bubba was hired so no blame there.

Just took a look at next year's home schedule.  Just 5 games and might be the worst home schedule I can remember as season ticket holder.

I just looked I think you miss counted there are six home games this fall. We play Portland State, Valpriaiso, Youngstown State, Indiana state, NDSU, and SDSU at home. The last two being better of the home games because of rivalries.

Home/away alternating weekends the whole season.

Not sure how I missed the SDSU game. Bumps the home schedule up to a 4 out of 10.
