When your reasoning for building Crossroads is so it becomes a multi-use structure used more than 7 times a year, it would seem to follow that the stadium/field would be used more, too. Wasn't that also the reason for field turf - it would hold up over a multitude of diverse events?

I'm not making the argument for this, only that it appears that horse has left the barn.

Also, Reunion classes have dinners in the press box - I have been to one of these (pre - Crossroads)

to host the event and in the bid package was information on where the game would be held. ND choose ND stadium and wasn't forced by anyone to host it there.

I also believe there is a 12K minimum on seating to host a QF - one reason Hopkins doesn't host QFs and why Arlotta wouldn't work either.

But if they want to host a QF, there isn't another option available to my knowledge given capacity requirements.
