I would say atleast $87,308,000 if that place costs $65 million. $65 million / 19359 seats=$3358 per seat. 26000 seats x $3358= $87,308,000

Does SDSU et 20,000 fans? It seams like the only games they pack is when theyre playing the Bison?

they get a couple sellouts a year. Their current stadium is an absolute dump.
The all-time record attendance at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium In Brookings SD was a game the Jacks played against the Bison on November 17, 2007. 16,345 fans from both schools packed the stands(stated capacity 15,000) to watch a border battle for the Dakota Marker Trophy. The Jacks spoiled the chance for the Bison to finish the season undefeated as they upended the Herd with a 29-24 hard fought victory. The win gave the Jacks undisputed first place in the Great West Conference. That win by the Jacks was well deserved and earned. The Bison finished 10-1 with victories over two FBS foes Central Michigan 44-14 and the Gophers 27-21. That was the last year of D-1 transition for both teams.frozenorth said:
It would have been interesting to see how those two teams would have fared in the FCS playoff picture had they been eligible. Maybe the vaunted App State team(that was the year they defeated Michigan in the Big House 34-32 but finished the season 13-2) would have encountered either one of these squads and their three-peat might have been derailed. Another example of the NCAA imposing a rule that didn't make much sense. Two or three years has some merit, but 5 years borders on excessive not unlike many other NCAA guidelines/penalties.
How would we know if we suffer from small man syndrome, shep? Is there a list somewhere that can diagnose such a syndrome? Would positing countless inane posts on another school's board be an indicator?Old Shep said:

:lol: classic. this coming from a guy who is a fan of a team who plays in a dome. NDSU has no vision to man up and build an actual stadium that could possibly be expanded, and he says Montana and Wyoming have small man syndrome? :roll:
The dome from a structural standpoint could be expanded, but the lengthy time involved in construction, obviously a stadium is needed in the meantime, the excessive cost ofget'em_griz said:
pushing the roof up and making a second deck, all points toward building a new stadium as the smartest and most sensible thing to do. I was involved on the committee to build the Fargodome and when it was brought up and the question asked "Is it going to be big enough?" there was laughter on the part of a few! Yes even North Dakota has it's share of small thinker's that lack true vision for the future! Even with SDSU's expansion our capacity will essentially be the same. No doubt something has to be done and reasonably soon! On that we are in agreement!
There's that rapier wit again...Old Shep said:For you no list is needed. Just look in the mirror, but get up on the step stool first!Ursa Major said:
