Alcohol is allowed in Lots E, F, G and NDSU Lot NQ only. Open flame fires are prohibited; propane and charcoal grills are permitted. (source)

Is there a sun and shade map for Fargodome?

No. A roof covers the seats, so the aerial lidar we use only sees the roof, not the rows under it. The Fargodome is an indoor, domed stadium with a roof covering the entire seating bowl and playing field. Without the rows we can't measure sightlines or sun minutes honestly, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies.
