I mean, if we are going to get into this again, so be it...but the only time I've ever heard mention of this "issue" is on the message board. Football in Aberdeen was played at a football only Swish, then moved to the new Swish at the new HS and I never once noticed a difference or felt any further away. The space lost is minimal considering you could have a true multi-purpose facility rather than eventually having to use up even more land for just a track. But hey, it's 2021, we are well past the things need to look good and who cares about efficiency.
I'm happy for the Football team, marching band and for the outdoor concerts that Northern will have.

I can't help but think what a missed opportunity it is to not have a track around the field. What a bummer...

They raised 5 million or so more than they needed so word is you may see something else announced fairly soon. Not on the scale of a stadium of course but further improvement.

As far as multi-functipnal purposes and giving home to another sport that didn't really have one, yeah,, it is kind of a missed opportunity. However it takes voices and donors and unless you are donating to the general fund, you kind of have a say on how your funds are used.
It's continued progress for Northern and supper happy for softball, football and of course the marching band (I believe that was one of the multi functional uses they originally mentioned).
Fundraising and progression never stops so looking forward to the exciting future project already.

Should have had a bigger Wolf head...other than that it is still just draw dropping that it actually happened and how quickly.
Also curious to see it again in person now. It could be the camera angle but the end zone close to the BC makes it look like the endzone ends and is immediately next to what I assume is going to be a fence of some sort? Again, could be the angle but that seems awfully close right?.

Question for Northerners- the NSU-MSU softball series for this weekend has been called off due to Covid problems at NSU. Any info on how widespread this is? Kind of hard to find out with the privacy laws. MSU's scrimmage with UMD last week was called off.

I agree, it will be interesting.
Looking at it, I count 10 starters that could be returning- most gone due to 2 classes graduating- I'm willing to bet most of the Northern Sun is in the same boat so I'm not sure of the comment here. While Schmidt was pretty clear that there is competition all over - the last time the Wolves took the field in a game that mattered they did have a winning record- it stands to reason that a lot of those guys have a pretty good chance.
I'm excited to hopefully be able to make it up to NSU this weekend to watch the Wolves play the final game at swisher field. Hopefully they can seize some momentum from the mostly positive performance in Missouri.

I'm guessing very few of the 22 starters from November 2019 will be the same in September 2021 when the new season kicks off. There is a lot of unknowns and I fully expect the 2021 season to be a roller coaster, but it is an exciting time to be a Wolves football fan.
