Something new in the UNIDUMP this fall...... a BISON VICTORY!!!

You're right. That would be something new.

Once the Fargo Dome has hosted 1/10th the number of FCS playoff games as the UNI-Dome, we might be interested in your opinion.

Re: Something new in the Dome this fall

How about some new seatbacks? Or maybe just a new paint job.

I used to work in the Dome and know some people in the athletics department. Dannen is trying to get new scoreboards and new seats. They have looked into repainting the seats and replacing them. I believe they said just to repaint them was going to be around $200,000 but scoreboards and seats are next on the list for the dome.

NEVER....Warner hates UNI.

Warner donates money to academics just not athletics. Even though Warner is not a big fan of UNI, UNI should still honor him in a way and Warner should come back and accept the honor for the fans if nothing else.

I still don't have any problem with the seats in the Dome. Sure, they seem a bit narrow at times, but that is due more to my being a fatarse, and I can't hold UNI responsible for that. haha.

Re: Something new in the Dome this fall

I agree about the color. That is the only thing that bothers me. It looks terrible.

As far as actually replacing the seats, what would our options be anyway? Surely we wouldn't want to put all seatbacks, as that would greatly reduce our seating capacity I would think.

Maybe simply painting them is what we should be doing.

Re: Something new in the Dome this fall

If they pay $200,000 for painting those seats I would be scratching my head. What a joke. 16,300 some seats right? Your telling me that it would cost over 12 dollars a seat to simply paint them? Come on...

I would say lose the seatbacks on the student section. They stand most of the game anyway and there is nothing more uncomfortable than when its crowded and your space isn't directly on a number and you get the point in your back when you do sit down.

Just what I was informed, not exactly chinese labor rates either. considering i guess they would have to do a couple coats, tape off all of the metal brackets between each seat. I don't know.

I'd just unscrew the backs, take them all out to the practice fields to the west of the dome.. get a couple of student groups, a couple crates of Krylon in Black, Purple, and Gold. Done dang deal. Heck, if you gave Krylon a advertising space in the dome for 2 years, they might even donate the paint.

Good idea except for the black part. Also the seats arent screwed on, its a certain kind of tack and a gun is used to replace broken tacks so taking the backs off would be a whole project in its self. but I really do like the idea
