You are right, the money we recieve from you guys, sadly does help our Atheletic budget big time. It is greatly appreciated, unfortunatally we live in Fargo, ND (not saying its a bad thing, I love it here) and it doesn't have a huge media appeal. Everything in this game pretty much benefits us. We get a nice check for playing you guys, get on National TV and if we win will get a little more recognition on College Football live or whatever highlight show is on.
Your second thought.. no clue as what the stadium smack is about... I got enough people ignored, so I dont have to see that kind of B.S. We have the Fargodome.. is it perfect.. No. Again we are in a smaller conference... and it is the hand we are dealt. I think if you were to come to a game here, you would appreciate how loud it can get in there, and the games are fun to watch. Would we all like it bigger.. yes. Unfortantly that is not in cards anytime soon.
