Could anyone take a guess on the NDSU attendance last night in SF?

Also...could you guess how many people didn't make it down there because of the weather? Take a wild guess. How many people would have been there last night if the weather had been better??

I'd like to compliment the people who were there. On TV you guys were amazing. I've turned up the volume really loud and replayed it today, and sometimes the Bison crowd sounds HUGE. It sounded like a big DI crowd on their home floor.

Funny thing about the replay of the game. We win every time. It's be-oo-ti-ful.

:D

I really have no idea but it was a pretty nice crowd. The lower level was pretty full with a few folks scattered up top.

I sure had a great time there. It was fun meeting several of the bisonville folks. Closed down the bar 3 out of 4 nights, my liver light came on at about 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Saw Road enjoying the on court celebration after the final shot and had to deal with Burgandy hugging everyone (that was kind of uncomfortable, j/k). Finally met Slick and found myself in a cab with Lakes of all people. Good times, as much as I like to pick on Lakes he was pretty damn funny all week out there.

From what I saw on TV, probably at least 3,000 of the crowd was Bison fans.

I have to give credit to the SDSU fans that cheered for us. The Jacks fans I talked to were really pulling for an all Dakota Summit sweep.

Yes, we met. It was pretty cool/funny, I walked into BWW and asked "who is Lakes?"... and all of a sudden there was 8?? Bisonville "rubes" like myself I met.

Out of the 3,804, there was no way there was more than a couple hundred Oakland fans and a few hundred SDSU fans, and the crowd sounded very partisan towards the Bison. Though those Oakland cheerleaders must have really strong vocal chords, cause I kept hearing their "GO OU" chants throughout the game.

The cheerleaders were right by the basket, and it was heavily miked. Real loud rim sounds. But they had a big crew of cheerleaders, didn't they?

Regardless...the Bison crowd sounded really, really loud. Great JOB !!! It gave me goose bumps.

3000 NDSU fans of the 3804 sounds about right to me. Our tickets were in the upper balcony but Lynn Dorn requested we all move down to the seating above the Bison bench. Crowd was amazing, team was amazing, whole weekend was fun!!! :)

They had a ton of cheerleaders and dancers. They plus their band were good. Probably best in the tournament. Gotta hand it to them they traveled along way and made alot of noise for such a small group.

I'll never forget the sound of Woodside's bucket at the end. It was a real solid 'doink' sound that hit that back of the rim. He absolutely nailed it. Beautiful.

It sounded like a lot of Bison fans were losing their voices and going nuts. It was beautiful to watch. Extremely DI caliber stuff. Big-time display for the country to see. They didn't show a lot of empty seats by scanning the arena. That was smart.

Not like the Big Sky championship tonight. Empty seats everywhere.

Phenomenal turnout! I'm watching the Big Sky tourneyon ESPN right now and the arena looks like a morgue. What a crap atmosphere. We brought somewhere between 2,500-3,000 loud and crazy mofo's and we had to deal with closed highways and one of the worst blizzards in 10 years!

If we can get a crowd like that during a blizzard - what can we do at the Metrodome?

If Weber State was playing it would be alive.
Maybe it's better to have a neutral court to get a crowd.

Go Bison. Go Bobcats.
