Re: Playoffs
I already typed waayyy too much on my opinions about attracting fan support (see the smack thread about Coach Nagy) so I'll not bore people further with repeating.
I don't want to risk having a casual sports fan have a great time watching an SDSU football game at Augie's stadium and then next season going back to that same stadium to watch Augie play a game based on their recollection of the fun they had this year. Since CAS won't be available, I'm all for playing at Howard Wood. If Howard Wood isn't available, I don't want to play anywhere else in Sioux Falls. Heck, drive to Watertown and play in our stadium. Its a nice natural-turf field and the stadium can hold more than 5,000 and that's easily expandable by bringing in some temporary seating.
Like you, Jackedforlife, I've applauded Augie's success in basketball and their resurgence in football. I just don't want to give them a handup if there's any risk that SDSU could lose a potential new fan. Just my two cents worth.
