-9 to 10 home games every season, all or mostly sellouts. 6-7 regular season home games. Every season at least 6. At least 1 of the 11 game seasons, and a couple of the 12 game seasons had 7. Plus 3 playoff.
-4x on Nat TV (3 playoff and usually 1 other)

5 away games. 3-4 flying with 1-2 bus between SDSU, S Dakota & N Dakota (N Dakota recently rejoined the MVFC).

With a move up:
-6 home games
-6 away. 5 or all 6 flying (longer/more expensive on avg).

How much would a new dome in the 30-40k capacity cost? 100 million? 150 million?

Try $350-400 million

Ok. I was WAGing it.
-Fargodome, about 19k capacity, built 1992 for 49 million, about 91 million in 2020 dollars.
-The Carrier Dome, 49k capacity, was $25.6 million to build in 1980, about $81 million in 2020 dollars.

Below article from last year says replacement (I’m assuming same size) would be 133 million, 144 million with total property.

Seems given the above, seems a 30k-40k capacity college dome could be built for far less than $350-$400 million
