NDSU - Colorado State Sept 8

[SDbison]

This will be the complete thread providing information for the Colorado State game. There are links for Tickets, Lodging & Activities. I will also add a summary of Bisonvillers who will be attending.
Please post how many in your group including yourself, travel plans, where you are staying, ticket location, where you got (or will get) tickets from, and planned activities before or after game? Thanks!
I have yet to make any arrangements and I believe many at Bisonville have yet to do so.

Why have two threads on this? Nothing is updated in the other thread's first post because noone has tickets. The only seats you can buy now are crap and expensive.

Why have two threads on this? Nothing is updated in the other thread's first post because noone has tickets. The only seats you can buy now are crap and expensive. I believe the other thread was just an early roll call thread. I decided to start this one and provide some links and info as it becomes available (also eventually will have a list of Bisonvillers going to game). If you have some links or info post them here and I will add to the first post in the thread. Chill out dude!

[Hammerhead]

According to gobison.com the visiting team's allotment is in section I.

Since don't have many priority points, I'm just going to get tickets on my own, preferably somewhere on the same side of the stadium.

Online requests for tickets go on sale July 7th at 8 am.

Do you think Budweiser will have enough beer for the friday night event? (Since one of their breweries is up the road)

I'm surprised they let other breweries even enter the state! Its coors, micro brews, and then nothing else in colorado

Lots of breweries in Fort Collins. Here are a couple

There are a few lesser-known ones too, but these are the main ones.

From wikipedia:

Brewing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing) is big business in Colorado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado). According to The Beer Institute, the state ranked number one in terms of gross beer production, producing over 23,370,848 barrels in 2006.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_breweries#cite_note-0) It is also ranked fourth in the country in number of brewpubs and craft breweries according to The Brewers Associaion.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_breweries#cite_note-1) Denver ranks first in the nation in beer production per capita and second in the number of breweries.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_breweries#cite_note-2)Colorado is home to 4 of the top-50 brewing companies in the nation. There are 139 breweries statewide.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_breweries#cite_note-3)

We toured the Budweiser brewery in St. Louis in 2009 and they gave everyone 2 pint glasses at the end of our tour. They must have had every type of beer they brew on tap to choose from.

Same thing when we toured. I think it is a liability thing.

[DORMIE]

Does anyone know the recent year and the score between the Gophers and Rams. I believe it was between the years that we beat the Gophers. The Rams were thumped. Might help in the bragging rights when the Rams fans tell us that we are a POS.

CSU has changed the ticket on sale date for our game to Monday August 13th.

[MNLonghorn10]

ok sooo...we can go through ndsu and get crap seats in the corner...or wait a month and go through csu/stubhub and sit wherever?

[hattonbison]

Was getting ready for Monday! Now I have to wait till Aug. 13. What is the reason for changing the date? Any ideas?

Doesn't make a lot of sense...you'd think CSU would want these on sale ASAP. Only thing I can think of is maybe CSU wants Bison fans to feel like they should get their tickets early from our allocation instead of taking over several other sections (this will happen anyway). Begs the question: Who's going to go through GoBison and who's going to wait?? I'll probably wait....

I'm going through gobison. Knowing how well Bison fans travel, I want to make sure I have a ticket. I'm almost done planing my trip and I want to have the loose ends tied up as soon as I can.

[Hammerhead]

We're going to request tickets from NDSU even though we're down at #4417 in the priority points ranking.

[SlickVic]

this is pretty funny 4 the old csuer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvhutjER4Pk&feature=related

[hattonbison]

Just called the Rams ticket office and asked why the date was switched on purchasing tickets for our game. Answer was "to allow our Rams club members priority on buying tickets first". I take a couple things from that. 1) maybe their thinking the members can make some money on this game, or 2) maybe they hope they can limit how many bison fans get tickets to the game. I said our game was the only one that was changed and she said "that is correct". Whatever they do I WILL BE THERE!!!!!!!!

[KSBisonFan]

Is that a lightening bolt i see? :):):)

http://www.ndsualumni.com/NetCommunity/view.image?Id=2783

I see the lightning bolt but what's been bugging me since this was posted is the lack of the white and green stripes on our helmet. I wasn't going to say anything and just chalk it up to a lazy printing job. Somebody please tell me with all the fixing of things that aren't broken lately, we didn't change our helmets and remove the stripes.

[BisonNeil]

Just put in my order through GoBison. Fingers are crossed.

[SDbison]

Bumping this thread back to the top since there is info in the first post that is useful.

[Hammerhead]

Tickets are now listed as being available on July 16th on the CSU web site. http://www.csurams.com/tickets/single-game.html

[Hammerhead]

I just bought 2 tickets even though their site doesn't show the exact seats on ordering page. I clicked on section HL when ordering them and put in the comments that we wanted to be anywhere near the visitor's section (section I).

It's kind of a rip-off that they charge $7.00 for delivery in the U.S. mail on top of the $5/ticket service fee. :(

[KSBisonFan]

Looks like CSU's website is available to buy tickets this morning. I didn't process an order all the way to the end but $40 seats are available in sections A, B, H & I (corner sections) and the endzone. I believe our allotment seats are in section I??? I have a request in through GoBison but not sure if I have enough TeamMaker points. Just a heads up before CSU decides to change the process again.

I'm going to wait until 8am mountain time. Don't trust a system that charges me for a seat, the doesn't give me an assigned seat, the charges me five dollars for the privilege, then charges seven dollars to mail the tickets or ten to hold them at will call. This has the chewbacca defense written all over it.

And yet, its still better than USD...

[HandoEX]

So they don't assign seats on their website and their phone message says they are open for orders at 7:45. It's 8am and they still aren't open.

I think I saw a package deal on CSU's site: Buy 1 ticket to the USD/NDSU game and you get unlimited tickets to the CSU/NDSU game. Then, you also get a FREE ticket to Colgate/USD.......that free ticket allows you to buy unlimited tickets to the Augie/SF game as well. Finally, for each ticket purchased, you get 10 free tickets to a monster truck show anywhere in Europe......sweet deal!

[Tatanka]

Now the site says tickets go on sale at 10:00AM (when you actually go to purchase the tickets in a popup). Assuming Mountain Time. Good grief.

I'm sticking to my original plan of buying endzone seats in a month when I go down to denver. Hopefully can avoid stupid extra charges.

[HandoEX]

After being on hold for 15 minutes, I finaly got through to someone who informed me that all seats in the first FIFTY (50!) rows are sold out except for section I, which has row 40 available. Somehow, I don't beleive this. It's ametuer hour in Fort Collins!

[Hammerhead]

I just logged in now around 8:45 MDT and it is showing seat assignments. I hope they give me 2 seats for the $95 I payed before 8:00. :)

[HandoEX]

Yeah, on the phone they told me that there weren't seats in the first 50 rows but now there are a ton in row 21. Wtf!

[TAILG8R]

Yeah, on the phone they told me that there weren't seats in the first 50 rows but now there are a ton in row 21. Wtf!

Is that row 21 level A or level B?

[roadwarrior]

There are seats in row 6 in section H (lower portion).

[HandoEX]

Is that row 21 level A or level B?
What is this Level A or Level B stuff? Is Level A by the field and Level B the upper deck?

[roadwarrior]

If you choose seats by section on their website, you are able to click on either the "lower" or "upper" portions of a section. The section letters run continuously all the way from the field to the top, so I would assume the row numbers are continuous also from row 1 at the field to whatever the highest number row is at the top. But then we have seen some unique ways to number sections and seats (UNI).

Apparently this game is the most anticipated one on CSU's schedule....

Yeah, I read that too... most anticipated game on their home schedule? Maybe because it's the home opener?

[Hammerhead]

It's probably the most anticipated game because they think it's their only winnable game. There will be lots Rams fans drowning their sorrows after the game. :)

[TAILG8R]

We got our 8 in section H Level B Row 5

CSU plays Colorado to open the season (in Denver) on September 1. Do they pick a neutral site every time they play?

[missingnumber7]

CSU plays Colorado to open the season (in Denver) on September 1. Do they pick a neutral site every time they play?They always play at Mile High or at least have for the past several years.

[Hammerhead]

I received a quick e-mail response to my inquiry asking me to verify that I wanted to be in/near the visitor seating then a confirmation e-mail this morning stating: "We went ahead and allocated you in the NDSU section. The tickets you have are Section I Row 38 Seats 20-21. They will be mailed out to you today."



I just logged in now around 8:45 MDT and it is showing seat assignments. I hope they give me 2 seats for the $95 I payed before 8:00. :)

[mnriverbison]

Since CSU has now unexpectedly made tickets available for this game, I think this thread should have a new title or if there should be a new thread which makes this change clear.

[SDbison]

I just updated the first post in the thread to show that CSU ticket office sales began on July 16. No reason to start another thread. There is already two threads........this one for game information and another for roll call. I plan on soon adding a bisonville list to the first post in this thread so everyone can see a summary of who is going , location of their tickets, and where they are staying.

[herdmember]

Speaking of places to stay, after Marriot Fort Collins, what's the 2nd best choice? Hoping for an area with as many Bison fans and bars possible.

You should PM me the address or area. We're planning on renting 1 or 2, but it'd be cool if we were close together. I was thinking of throwing a party, inviting some locals, etc.

Sounds like a plan. We found ours thru vrbo.com

This is the one we got. (http://www.vrbo.com/313635) Just a condo, but still I enjoy the comfort of not being in a hotel.

As I looked around vrbo I see there are still some good townhomes and houses available for the CSU NDSU weekend

Werd, looked at both of those. That will be nice to be downtown close to the bars.

[Hammerhead]

It looks like all of the tickets in sections H and I are gone. Their site doesn't even list single seats and the best available are in section A.

[Jay]

We got Section H, Row 47, 1-16

[TAILG8R]

It looks like all of the tickets in sections H and I are gone. Their site doesn't even list single seats and the best available are in section A.

I just checked for single tickets and there are some(at least 1) available in H but none in I. You can not get 2 seats together in H.

[GOB1SON]

I just called and she put together 8 seats in Section H, rows 52-53, four each on the aisle across from the NDSU fans. I could have gotten 8 in a row in row 41, but not on the aisle. She said the concourse where you walk out starts at row 32.

She also said that NDSU has spoken for all of the I section. Based on the four ticket maximum, I wonder if they will sell them all.

I might be right behind you! I had to wait to get tickets because I couldn't get firm answers from some. I might get a couple from my brother in the NDSU section, but I got 6 additional in section H, 3 tickets on the aisle in both rows 54 and 55. I've converted a few people into Bison fans at my golf course...

[PattyBison]

Posted this in the other thread, but worth mentioning here too... Looks like some CSU football guys were at the shooting in Aurora.

[TAILG8R]

I still have a question what the level means on the ticket receipt. Level B Section H Row 5, what does level B mean exactly?

[roadwarrior]

Level B is the upper half of the seating.

[bri-dog]

Here's a pic of the seating chart -- I'd ASSUME level B is the top level...

[Hammersmith]

I still have a question what the level means on the ticket receipt. Level B Section H Row 5, what does level B mean exactly?
It's kinda-sorta the upper deck. It's not a separate deck, but an extension of the lower bowl. Here's a decent photo. Section H is the first full upper section on the right. It looks like your seats are between the first two entrances on the right side of the photo. Bleacher seating, btw.

[TAILG8R]

That's what I thought, but some people are saying they have tickets in row 52, 53 etc and GOB1SON was told that you walk out at row 32, it doesn't add up to me. Not a big deal, just wondering.

[56BISON73]

A level is rows 1-32. B level is rows 32 and above. I have seats in Sec H on the aisle between G and H Row 40 seats 1&2.

I was also told that B means bleacher seating.

Anybody have questions just give the ticket office a call. They are very helpful.

[bri-dog]

Yes, the guy at the ticket office was VERY helpful & nice. He also said "ummm, this seems to be a VERY popular game"...:biggrin:

[bri-dog]

BTW, has anyone heard on their NDSU allocations, or if not, anyone know when they'll be made?

Someone else in our group bought the tickets so I didn't get a chance to clarify with the ticket office. Like you stated Level A is rows 1-32 and Level B is rows 33 and up. So the fact that the receipt says Level B Row 5 doesn't make sense, unless that Level B means bleacher seating. I will have to call the ticket office and ask. Like I said not worried just confused.

[hattonbison]

Does anybody else have seats in the endzone?

if you're going to have an effed up seating location scheme the least you can do is explain it on your seating chart. Good grief. I will call csu and figure it out... Wastes my time and theirs. Perhaps I should write up the answer, format it using html, and send it to them with an invoice. I'll charge them the $5 handling fee on top of that, but just to be nice, I'll waive the $2 fee to get a printable copy.

From gobison:

- Requests can be submitted online July 7-July 21.

- Order fulfillment will be determined Monday, July 23 based on priority points.

- Notification of order status (accepted/denied) will be emailed Monday, July 23.

I believe we are going to buy tickets for the Steeler game as well. Family is big Steeler fans. And anytime you can watch Peyton Manning....you gotta take that and run with it.

[roadwarrior]

I just received my confirmation email that my tickets ordered through NDSU has been approved.


A limited number of tickets are still available through the NDSU ticket office and can be purchased at www.GoBison.com beginning at 8:30 a.m. on July 23rd.

I know, I know... you're world has just been rocked. Feel free to take the rest of the day, or talk to a counselor to help you cope...

And anytime you can watch Peyton Manning....you gotta take that and run with it.Hope you've got some $$$ or good connections, I've seen tickets going for more than 2X face value for this game. When they played on Monday night several years ago I gladly paid 1.5 times face for south stands seats. But I love my season tickets.

Pops said tickets were going for $250+ on the internet. I told him it isn't worth that. Steelers will win the Super Bowl my senior year of school. Not this upcoming year. I'd rather wait to see them in the metrodome than some nignog Mile High Stadium. Colorado sports are a frickin' joke. Bunch of fairweather fans. hated living there I hate the vikes, but at least the fans are real.

The Steelers represent offensive efficiency when necessary. And great defense always. Sound familiar?

Tell us how you really feel.

[Hammerhead]

Me four. It looks like I'll have 2 extra tickets for sale since I bought a pair from CSU in case I was too low on the priority list to get any from NDSU.

[56BISON73]

Talked to the facilities director today about tailgating.
Visitors are in the orange lots.

Lots open 3 hours prior to kick off. This may change.

10.00 cars, 20.00 mobile homes, cars with trailers 10 if you are lucky 20 if you arent.

Tailgate shuts down 30 minutes prior to kick off.

Beer and wine allowed. They dont like to SEE hard liquor bottles.

There will be ID booths set up for those who dont look 21 but are. You just go to the booth. Show your ID and you will be good to go drink at tailgate. If you dont get a band you can expect a cop to check you if he spots you drinking.

3.2 beer is sold IN the stadium.

[MNLonghorn10]

sooo 3 hours really turns into just 2 and a half if we need to be out 30 min before kick off?


god. fucking colorado state. who cares about these irrelevant turds??

home game vs st. francis>this game.

I will tell you how I really feel. I am pissed at how much money I may potentially end up spending to go see the Steelers game. I am also surprised that at that point in the evening last night I was even remotely capable of spelling and putting together a post that is at least semi-readable. My head frickin' hurts. Help.

The Seahawks pipe in more sound than the Vikings.

FWIW, the divisional playoff game vs the Cowboys a few years ago was the loudest event I've attended in person and I wasn't the only one who couldn't talk for a couple of days afterwards.

Mile High atmosphere is different from the old stadium to the new stadium. I do love the pounding on the steel floors throughout the whole stadium. And the vibrating stands. The loudest game I remember being at was the last bison/suck game in FFD when Babbich went for it 4 times from the 1 yard line. I remember not being able to hear for 2 days and not having my voice for at least a week.

The gentleman I talked to also said that they have a new AD and are looking at changing some game day stuff and looking at past traditions etc. Thats when he said the hours of tailgate may be changed but nothing has been done so far. He also mentioned that because beer is sold in the stadium they are concerned about those that would get a big head start and there would be alcohol related problems.

One of the guys in our group got two rooms last night, from the sounds of it the NDSU blocks are either sold out or very close. Wonder how many rooms the alumni association reserved total?
