First of all I graduated from UND and I have always been proud of the facilities at UND and Grand Forks, but I have watched several games of Football at the Alerus and was very impressed, but the Girls Class B Tourney just didn't work for several reasons. My Mother hard a very hard time walking up and down all the steps to the concessions & bathrooms when needed. One must ask why they didn't use the restrooms on the court level? My daughter played and she was wondering why the time clocks weren't used above the baskets, since the score boards were so hard for the players to watch at critical times? The lighting was very good in the facility and the parking was really good as well. Overall, the facility could work if a few things were changed to help accomondate the fans and players a little more.
Does anyone no why their wasn't any pre championship light show etc. to get the crowd and players fired up prior to the tip off? Most of these Girls play many years to make it to the State B and it seems that the NDHSAA is forgeting to make this a special time for the players, students and fans.
