Augie is moving to the Pentagon?

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

This whole Pentagon home court advantage thing is easily rectified. Just have them play all of their regular season games on the road. Then no one can complain when the playoffs are held there...............

Or....since we have already crowned Augie as NSIC champs the next three years, perhaps we should just go back to the old win the conference and you get to host the tourney format. I mean, nothing to lose right?

NSIC Tourney has zero neutrality concerns at the 'Gon per DB

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

A few things will help that out, at least while Augie is still in the NSIC for another year or two. First of all, nonconference games are still at Elmen. That usually takes us into December. Between December and February, the Skyforce played one Friday game and three Saturday games at the Pentagon this season. Not a ridiculous amount to work around. Besides, could easily see a scenario where there's an Augustana game in the afternoon and a Skyforce game in the evening.

I was hoping to get to a game at the Sioux Falls Arena. Shame I won't be able too anymore.

Oh well.

I'm curious, will this interfere with the other tenant of the Pentagon at all? The Not-Miami Minor Heat?

Based on the fact that the Pentagon went forward with the deal, I would imagine either it doesn't interfere with the Minor Heat, or Sanford's people just aren't concerned about it interfering with their schedule, which would be surprising and humorous.

Time to move the NSIC Tournament to the Arena.

I doubt anyone will want to play And-1 mixtape style in the soon-to-be parking lot formerly known as the Sioux Falls Arena.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

So, next years conference tourney, Augies last in the NSIC. will be considered HOME games for them.

You cant just rip us off and throw us on the floor like Kevin Schlagel's tie, we'll tell you when we're ready to leave.

Signing a 10 year deal to play at the 'Gon is a fantastic move given the uncertain future of the Arena. Frees up financial resources to more pressing needs in the D1 transition and anything we can do to deepen the ties with Sanford will only help.

I'm sure everyone will love this as much as I do.

I shared this info over the weekend...just on a different thread. So there

Augie's second-to-last (at minimum) in the NSIC. Possibly even third-to-last or more. And yes, apparently they will be played in the venue that will be considered Augie's home venue for conference play. Unless the NSIC plans to shift things over to the Premier Center. Which would probably not be the wisest decision at this juncture.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

You beat me to it. I just read about the move to the Pentagon on Twitter. Article says that non-conference games will be at the Elmen.
