Was that a Bison football game, the 23rd Annual North Dakota RV Round-up or the 1998 Richard Simmons' Sweating to the Oldies tour?

Ok, I'll play that game...
Here's a list of false starts for both stadiums, including delay of game penalties due to crowd noise in 2014:
Washington-Grizzly Stadium:
Central Washington - 2
South Dakota - 2
Northern Colorado - 7
UC Davis - 0
Sacramento State - 2
Montana State - 1
San Diego - 5
Total: 7 games, 19 false starts, including delay of game penalties.
Fargodome:
Incarnate Word - 1
Montana - 2
Southern Illinois - 0
Indiana State - 3
South Dakota State - 0
Youngstown State - 1
South Dakota State - 4
Coastal Carolina - 3
Sam Houston State - 3
Total: 9 games, 17 false starts, including delay of game penalties
Even with two more home games than Montana had, NDSU was still two false starts short of Montana. If you take away the last two home games that NDSU had, NDSU would have only had 11 false starts in 7 games to Montana's 19. Stats don't lie. Washington-Grizzly Stadium is clearly louder than the Fargodome.

Washington Griz was built in the 1980's and it is one of the nicest stadiums in the country at any level. By the way nicest does not equal biggest, though we are the biggest at the FCS level. The Griz are very relevant, we've had one losing season in 29 years. We haven't had the success that NDSU has recently, but no one has. I hope they win their 4th title and then the Griz take it to them next season.

I hope they lose, but will respect them big time if they win. Already respect that program as it is.
One of these things is not like the others. Can you identify it?

Correct Answer:

For those interested in going to Fargo in 2015, you can catch the much-hyped Red River Valley Boat & Marine Products Show at the fabled Fargodome in late January. Also, please, do yourself a favor and savor the history and tradition of Happy Harry's Ribfest June 3 through June 6, also at the Fargodome. "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" on Feb. 3 will certainly also add to the mystique of the building.

Just thinking about it, I'm getting chills like when I walked into Darrel K. Royal Stadium.

Ha!
Although, I wouldn't mind gettin' me some ribs....
If you are planning to fight the fatties for ribs at Happy Harry's Ribfest, I suggest updating your will and getting your papers in order before you go.

Wise counsel, AWF. But I'd come armed with a plan. I'd drop a line of Twinkies heading away from the BBQ. It'd be like the Red Sea parting and we'd have free reign on the ribs.
Yeah, you're right. I can't compete at that level. A guy can dream, though.

Couple thoughts here.
1.) LakesBison. Just stfu and get off this site. You are an embarrassment to the Bison fanbase.
2.) CDAGRIZ. I get that you have a big chubby for your stadium. Let it go man. It is a beautiful stadium and is probably the best in the FCS. Despite NDSU playing in a gym or whatever you call it, NDSU has a nearly identical home winning percentage inside the Fargodome to what UM has at WaGrizz, has never been beat inside the Fargodome in the playoffs, and managed to win 3 national championships (maybe 4 after next weekend) to UM's 2. I guess the dome has treated NDSU fine.
3.) The state of ND does not allow bonding for construction of athletic facilities at the universities and is notoriously cheap to begin with when it comes to higher education funding. That basically ensures no state support. The city of Fargo has no use for a new indoor stadium as the Fargodome might be one of the most structurally sound stadiums ever built and is in incredible shape, and fits the need for all public events outside NDSU football. They also are looking to fund a multi billion dollar flood control project. That means no city support. NDSU is in the middle of building a new $50 M basketball arena and weight training facility and built a separate indoor track facility, all raised with private funds. The donors are tapped at the moment and unfortunately NDSU is not blessed with a Dennis Washington type support. The fact that ND has the most bitter Fing weather in the country (20 degrees in Fargo would feel much colder than 0 degrees in Missoula due to humidity and constant NW wind) means a 35k seat indoor stadium would need to be built, which would cost $250-$300 M. Fundraising this would take years and might not be possible.These are the reasons why NDSU will be plàying in the Dome for the foreseeable future. With that being said, they are looking at ways to increase capacity upwards of 5k people, which would be nice.
