Urban Plains Center in Fargo

Post by UpNorthStars »

The future home of the Fargo Force (New USHL Team) is being built right now and the Force are scheduled to start the 2008 season in the first phase of the building. You can go here to check it out,

It's a pretty impressive place. In the end it will have five ice sheets; thirty-seven locker rooms; forty luxury suites; 300 club seats; main arena capacities will be approximately 6,000 for basketball/volleyball and 5,000 for hockey; one tournament facility will seat approximately 2,000 for basketball/volleyball and 1,600 for hockey; The other three will seat approximately 800.

My question is this. The way the building sits right now is basically just the bare steel i-beams, no roof, no walls, no nothing. Is it possible to have the main arena completed and up and running just 6 months from now? Seems like a long shot to me.
