3 games in the dome equals a rivalry?? UND played Idaho twice are they our FBS rivals? What does attendance have to do with anything? UND played Texas Tech in front of 47,000 people more than your 19,000 at the Fargodome. Big Dance for NDSU is the only thing they have done in that sport. What has NDSU done since the dance? Nothing. One thing NDSU has done since leaving DII.....they have not stopped talking about UND. As for your FBS dreams. It only exists on a PS3 or XBOX as Gene Taylor said they are not moving up. You still play basketball in a garage of an arena. Fargo North High School plays in a better place than NDSU. Where you getting $$$$ for your FBS dream? Is it from the 8.8% tuition increase? And what conference would NDSU go to? Big 10 :rofl: Big 12 :rofl: MAC :rofl: WAC :rofl: SEC..oh we have a winner. LSU at NDSU. Yep I can see it now. :rofl: :rofl:

Why do you feel the need to recite your team's resume at every turn?

What is funny is how he brings up Fargo North. I come from a Class B school in ND and we have had larger attendances in our Gym for regional boys basketball tournaments than the quonset attatched to the Ralph can hold.

Our basketball arena although smaller than the BSA is a hell of a lot nicer than the garage that NDSU plays in. Here read up on it. http://www.theralph.com/#/pg=sub&id=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yeah, no. If we ever play und again, I will wander up there to read, but until that happens I personally have no reason to visit that forum.

Why not? Your buddy Lakes has been there and been banned, of course he still goes there using alias's. I was just checking the posts on BVille.....usual stuff. UND in the polls, UND's nickname, NDSU's biggest rival being UND of course, and that was just clicking the new posts button. Why do NDSU fans chant Sioux suck at every game? Makes you guys sound stupid if you are playing MVFC teams or other FCS teams that don't play or has never played UND.

From what I've been hearing in about 12 months renovations could begin on the BSA. That garage you speak of will be unrecognizable once it's complete and you'll still have your $7 million BB/VB shed. http://www.gobison.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml? ...

You have to be an idiot to believe that a rivalry that ran that deep for over a century does not still linger on. So, of course there will always be talk on BOTH sides. Old habits die hard. Just like after the Sioux change the name there will be hundreds/thousands of fans who hold on and wear the old garb forever. That's nature. Anyone who says any different is blind.

Lakes can shout at the rain all he wants, it wont change reality.

That said, there is nothing wrong with looking forward and wanting more. If you aren't improving, you're dying. Move to the FBS in 5 years? Hell no, but who's to say we shouldn't or couldn't in 15-20?

Darrel is about to go JBB on us. No one chants that stuff, go jump off a cliff

You compare NDSU/MINNESOTA (bordering states, players from minnesota on both) to und/idaho? Go get your fuckin brain examined, seriously, you are the biggest moron in the world.

NDSU holds advantage on everything over the school WE PLAYED 8 dam years ago. Leave moron, NDSU pisses on your nothingness!

Fargo North is my wife's alma mater and will be the alma mater to my kids too. :thumb: I saw a pic of the new BSA (or SHAC) whatever it will be called and it is very impressive. I have yet to visit the Betty but heard its really nice and have seen games on tv. I have been to games in the BSA...very bad for a DI team. At least NDSU recognized the need for an upgrade and is doing something. I am surprised ol Sanford hasn't just given NDSU a check to cover the expenses to get the wrecking ball going on the plan. I mean if his name is going to be on the building at least get the ground broken on the project right away. It can't be too impressive for recruiting, just as the Alerus can't be too impressive for recruiting compared to the Fargodome (current attendance, and max attendance 19,000-13,500).

Do you see NDSU in the Fargodome in 15-20 years? I think to go FBS NDSU needs out of the Fargodome, or else you may become another Idaho (attendance). I can see NDSU in a 25-30,000 stadium, and which football #1 at NDSU it could be a reality if Sanford donates more money to have his name on the stadium too. 15-20 years the way the FBS is shaping up right now could happen. Who knows maybe the Big 10 will be the Big 20.

They broke ground for the new indoor track facility this fall. The 18-month project will begin next spring. This will start with phase 1 being the new track.

Just like after the Sioux change the name there will be hundreds/thousands of fans who hold on and wear the old garb forever. That's nature. Anyone who says any different is blind.

Lakes can shout at the rain all he wants, it wont change reality.

That said, there is nothing wrong with looking forward and wanting more. If you aren't improving, you're dying. Move to the FBS in 5 years? Hell no, but who's to say we shouldn't or couldn't in 15-20?
Do you see NDSU in the Fargodome in 15-20 years? I think to go FBS NDSU needs out of the Fargodome, or else you may become another Idaho (attendance). I can see NDSU in a 25-30,000 stadium, and which football #1 at NDSU it could be a reality if Sanford donates more money to have his name on the stadium too. 15-20 years the way the FBS is shaping up right now could happen. Who knows maybe the Big 10 will be the Big 20.
Well, in 20 the dome will be 39 going on 40 years old. I have no idea what the projected life span of the building is, but that has to be getting close to the end.

You have to be an idiot to believe that a rivalry that ran that deep for over a century does not still linger on. So, of course there will always be talk on BOTH sides. Old habits die hard.

Oh no, don't start this again... :roll:

To answer your question though, a new 30,000 seat outdoor stadium would be needed to be built if that were to happen. :thumb:

I am not sure outdoor football stadiums are a reasonable option in North Dakota. I know late in the season....I sure like watching inside. Places like Fargo and Grand Forks are some cold ass places.

I don't know about Dacotah Field but Memorial Stadium didn't have great attendance in the cold and snow except the annual UND-NDSU game.
