Recent Improvements: 1) Resodding Bronson Field 2) Laying infrastructure (fiber) for game broadcasts. 3) Fencing around Bronson Field Here is a link to the soccer facilities: https://fightinghawks.com/watch/?Archive=7672&type=Archive It seems like a nice setup. Cut the grass, schedule a trainer for games and work on potential small set of stands with bathrooms. How much do ports potties cost? The nice ones? Quote

Asking for bathrooms and a person to treat their in game injuries is just too much to ask! The university hasn't had to pay for any athletic facility: Hockey Tennis Football Golf Basketball Swimming Softball Volleyball Where does all their money go they are saving?! Quote

HockeyHawk Posted October 19 Posted October 19 If soccer moved into the women's hockey space after the program was cut it would make sense to think they are the title 9 equivalent of the men's hockey team. I don't think it would take a lawyer to realize that the field doesn't exactly scream equity if you compare it to where hockey plays. That could be a major problem for UND. Quote

Cratter Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Regardless of title 9, all of sioux sports fans should help the girls and other athletic programs reach high levels. Including supporting the glaring obvious deficiencies. Quote
gfhockey Posted October 19 Posted October 19 So they got a new field and the women’s hockey locker room And they want bathrooms on the field? How many girls go to bathroom during game? 1 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted October 20 Posted October 20 6 hours ago, Oxbow6 said: So use a simply analogy you both can understand on grass fields.... Bronson Field = late 70s porn star Premier League/World Cup = Top 1% OnlyFans I think Bronson may have actually been upgraded to a fifa level pitch. Have they kept it to that level? Doesn’t sound like it. But I know they invested in it so it’s very disappointing if they wasted that. 1 Quote

It's not complicated. UND doesn't have the resources to properly maintain a quality grass field. The least desired field to play on in the Summit is at UND. Least desired in the NSIC is MSUM. Both....grass. 1 Quote

Grass can be best but takes a lot of constant care....aka golf putting greens. UNDs turf look anything like a putting green? They ain't even mowing the grass on their turf now for f's sake! Quote
gfhockey Posted October 20 Posted October 20 So if they want grass we got them grass nownthey don’t want grass and now they want porta potties give them porta potties. The ones that have lights my god Quote

Athletic trainer at the games. Small cheap stuff. I am fairly certain the soccer program has a FT Athletic Trainer that is with them at all home and away games as well as practices. Their request is a team physician who I believe only Football and Hockey have on site for all games home and away. Not sure how the Sanford deal plays into this. Altru used to provide a physician for all home events. Quote
