NDSU is asking fans to turn the FargoDome into a stripe out for the season opener against Jacksonville State on Aug. 29 at 4:30 p.m. The directive is simple: wear green or gold, depending on the section number assigned to your seat.
The call lands now because it is tied to the opener, not a later home date. Fans heading to the game have one job before kickoff: check their section and dress for it, since the color plan is meant to split the stadium into alternating bands of green and gold.
The NDSU Foundation provided the section color guidance, giving fans the basic rule for how to take part. But the full stripe out map is not included in the text, which leaves one practical question for anyone trying to prepare from the information at hand: which sections are green and which are gold?
That gap matters because the idea only works if fans know where they sit and what color that section requires. Without the full map, the instruction is clear in concept but incomplete in detail, and the burden falls on each attendee to match the section number with the right color before arriving at the FargoDome.
For NDSU, the request is about more than a visual pattern. It is a way to turn the season opener into a shared statement from the first snap, with fans inside the FargoDome helping set the tone before Jacksonville State takes the field. The part left unresolved is the one that will decide whether the plan looks the way it is meant to look: the section-by-section map.
