  • We Need An Outdoor Stadium, Part II

    Dome's getting very old and, much as I love the memories there, I've never really liked the place. Play outside.

    As for the Dome being some great recruiting tool, haven't we passed that by and, now, our football reputation is the great recruiting tool?

    Inside football is worse than inside baseball.

    I say use picture #2 as a recruiting tool and we're golden for years.

      If we were competing with the likes of Montana or Delaware, who have top-notch FCS outdoor stadiums, for recruits then I would say yes. As it is, though, the UNI-Dome is one of the finest venues in FCS -- I say we stick with the Dome.

        I hear Wisconsin is suing Minnesota for putting a big W in the middle of their new field.

          Dome is home.
          "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

              I am not interested in an empty outdoor stadium come November and December.

                  People think attendence is bad now, wait till the weather stops getting above 40, it's snowing, raining, sleeting, windy, and down right cold. We would not have a crowd.

                      wearing stiletto heels on the beach is pretty dumb.

                        First, note that I did not ask for any of youz clown's opinions.

                        Second, some o' youz jamokes missed the above brilliance of mine: "...our football reputation is the great recruiting tool..."

                        Weather be damned. Gets sh*tty in Montana come December and they ain't got no problem fillin' the joint.

                        You "Dome = consistent crowd" people denigrate the veracity of the football program when you claim weather will absolutely, unequivocably determine the size of a crowd. You're surrendering to the punk-ass Griz fans who mob their home every weekend in all manner of Mother Nature's precipitate fury.

                        I am The Cap'n. Adore me.

                          You had me up until the tramp stamp.

                          Fact: The UNI-Dome is one of the finest venues in the FCS. While we can certainly argue the merits of indoor vs. outdoor, it's silly to try and fix what ain't broke.

                            Well, I've been to more than a few stadiums in FCS and the Dome is beginning to look dated. The concourses with the restrooms, for example, look like SDSU's archaic set up. The mud-covered walls in the endzones need to be dressed up.

                            Most distressing of all, there is no Cap'n Cat banner hanging up.

                              Montana doesn't have a FBS team to compete with for attendence and UNI has 2 so it isn't the best comparison.
