North Dakota and Fargo will once again be in the national spotlight as Game Day, the ESPN college pre game show will be live from Downtown Fargo Saturday. Some of the downtown business have mixed feelings about the show returning to Fargo according to Valley News Live.com.

Many downtown restaurants are excited about the thousands of sports fans that will come, but other stores are expecting their business to slow down.

 "Last year Game Day was insane! We had a lot of great business. We had the whole thing set up right out front. We extended the hours," says Bryce Kulas, General Manager of Sammy's Pizza.

On the other hand, right down the road, you hear this-

"stores say their business slows down. Despite their close proximity to all the action, Proper & Prim Owner Teresa O'Day says it was dead last year during the road closures leading up to the event.

 "The first couple days of them setting up, it was a little bit of a pain for people wanting to come shop because they couldn't really park anywhere close," says O'Day.
