Who wants to come to Fargo? GSU is buying!
I would love to see Cal Poly and NDSU play again, but I believe Cal Poly has all their away games scheduled for 2011 and are only looking for one or two home games. How about NDSU coming to SLO? I am sure we would be willing to go to Fargo in the future for a return game.
I think we've heard that enough that we probably don't believe it anymore.

The George Strait concert was an example of the dilemma though. That show had 15,000 + Friday night and saturday night was the BISON game. Getting the right turf configuration will be important.
60 grand aint going to go very far towards new turf.
It took a 500,000 dollar grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association, plus some raised funds, for UNI to get our turf last season
The Fargodome has something like $10-15 million in the bank that can be used for improvements. So there is plenty of money, they just need to find the right kind of turf that can be easily removed and stored. The turf they have now is removed and stored in about 30 minutes.
Hopefully they figure it out soon but at least after football season is over they will finally be spending some money on improving the lighting.

Cal Poly has NEVER bought out of a return trip. We would be good for it. We have had some great games in our GWFC days. Would love to see the Bison on the schedule again sometime soon.

It's not that hard to find turf that is easily removed. The UNIDome has turf that is rolled up and stored under the overhang of the bleachers in about 45 minutes or so.
Dear Lord, We come before you and humbly ask you to grant our prayer for a veil of protection to be placed over Donald Trump. May your will be done. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Buy some flood insurance and have a March fire at the armoury when the sandbags are stored...

At least the citizens of Fargo saved their town from the flood.
