Very cool decision for GameDay to make the trek to Fargo Saturday. It will provide fans another look of where the game exists beyond Notre Dame, Ohio State, etc…

Hopefully, Lee Corso won’t wind up in South Dakota.

The on-site scene clearly has elevated the show to another level. You could feel the energy of college football when Chris Fowler and the gang hit campus.

“It’s like being part of the Beatles,” said Gene Wojciechowski, who correctly noted, “I’m the back-up drummer.”

ESPN’s Front Row did behind-the-scenes look at the entire production.

From ESPN about Saturday’s show:

ESPN’s iconic college football pregame show College GameDay Built by The Home Depotwill travel off its usual course – visiting two-time defending FCS National Champion North Dakota State in Fargo, N.D., on Saturday, Sept. 21. The show will originate from Downtown Fargo, located near the Fargo Theatre on Broadway.

The three-hour show (9 a.m.–noon, ESPN) of features and analysis will arrive prior to the Delaware State at No. 1-ranked NDSU game (3:30 p.m., ESPN3).

Hosted by Chris Fowler, the GameDay crew consists of analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and David Pollack with reporting by Samantha Ponder, Tom Rinaldi, Scott Van Pelt and Gene Wojciechowski.

College GameDay has visited three other FCS matchups in recent history: Hampton at Florida A&M on Nov. 15, 2008 – the shows first HBCU site; Grambling vs. Southern at the Bayou Classic on Nov. 26, 2005; and at Penn for the Harvard game on Nov. 16, 2002.
