yes, the Alerus Center.

Also there is Holt Arena, where Idaho State plays.

And in D2, there is Northern Michigan's Superior Dome.

Hmmm...they really do have the technology to put electric lighting indoors in North Dakota. Looking at the Fargo Hangar you would never know.

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

Wow, I was up there for a camp in 96' and I didn't know people built domes since then. That looks much nicer than the high school stadium they played in when I went up there.

Wow, how did they get the NCAA to approve that curved out of bounds line? I would think that would be a tough adjustment for a receiver to make.

It's smaller than the FEA due to no end zone seats, but looks brighter and nicer than the FEA. With USD improving their dome, could the Bison have the least appealing facility in the Conference/Midwest?

FEA = Fargo Elongated Arena = Not a Dome.

Personally, I think FargoShed has a certain ring to it.

Also, the only true domes in FCS are UNI-Dome, Dakota Dome & Walkup Dome. Georgia Dome & Alamo Dome are primarily for other purposes (Falcons & pointless bowl games, respectively), so I say they don't count. All the others are either giant quonset huts (Holt Arena) or oversized hangars (FargoShed, Alerus Center).

East Tennessee State played in a dome/hanger when they were members of the Southern Conference. They dropped their program approximately five years ago.

FargoShed it is. You've convinced me.

East Tennessee State also has a giant quonset hut, but no longer has a football program.(repeat)

Re: Welcome to the MVFC...

You devalue conference titles, because you guys don't win very many of them. Conference championships are important, and we take a lot of pride in winning this conference. And so would YSU if they starting actually winning this conference once and a while.

But that's not to say the main goal isn't about winning a national championship. It is, has been, and always will be all about winning the whole thing, and that remains priority #1 at UNI. We have come close, but have fallen short of that goal thus far.

I have no doubt that you take a lot of pride in your numerous conference championships and from your perspective it obviously would look like that is the reason we devalue them.I think if the criteria for getting into the playoffs was only winning the conference title then we would definitely be interested.I'm really not sure if we ever won a conference championship--I highly doubt that we did--but the 90's run where we won 4 NC's and 2 runner ups spoiled the typical YSU fan--it would be nice to win the conference someday but if we don't most have a who cares attitude if we make the playoffs.Our new coaches strongest point is recruiting and with the new Watson-Tressel training center being finished soon he will be able to recruit YSU a defense so we can compete with the elite of the MVFC--which will be a nice change for us frustrated YSU fans.
