I read a story about it a few years back. Some lady from Atlanta, I think, built it for them after hearing they had to play on gravel because grass wouldn't grow there. The town flew her up to Barrow for the first game ever played on it. Tough location though. Sometimes practices have to be cut short because of polar bears wandering in to watch. Glad your curiosity got the best of you enough to check it out.

On YouTube there are several stories about the program. It’s amazing.

Interesting to see Lamar on there. Kind of invalidated the whole thing if you ask me.

Playoff bracketology 1 week into conference play is going to have lots of problems.

Lamar is 2-1 against FCS. Loss is to us. Very early I agree, but looking at FCS only it makes sense.

Here's an updated "BCS-style" ranking and playoff bracket: Since they don't seed below 8, us landing at 10 means we get screwed into playing Montana State in the 2nd round. Honestly, I could easily see that happening. The UNI/USD first round match is also likely, since we don't play them in the regular season.

If we make the playoffs, I will be quite disappointed to play a MVFC team right away. Again.

In that setup five of the six teams in USD's bracket are from the MVFC. I really can't imagine the screaming if something like that were to happen. Long, long ways to go before the end of the season si I would imagine things will change drastically.

Since you don't play UNI during the regular season that is a possibility. Fortunately all you have to do is win out and you will likely not be spending any time away from the Dakota Dome in the playoffs.

UND really took it to NDSU today, that really takes a little luster off our victory. NDSU might not be that great this year.
