FargoDome anyone?

FargoDome anyone?

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. We've been debating this on the Bison message boards. The Fargodome NEEDS this.

Awesome.

Now only if someone would kick ISU in the butt.

They're overdue more than anyone, I think.

Idaho State, North Dakota State and Northern Iowa ALL need it.

Nope. We need something that is easier to remove. We have huge track meets, wrestling, etc in the dome still.

[PantherRob82]

the endzone looks great.

that was NAUs main concern when choosing a surface; its mobility.
