My daughter & I were watching the 2012 football highlight video & she asked about NDSU women's basketball. We then watched last year's highlight video. She innocently asked, "Where are all the fans?" I told her, back in my day, "they used to pack the joint." I then searched for highlight videos from the 92-94 era, but didn't find anything. Anyone know of a public-access video of the glory days?

Heck we used to pack the place in our first year of DI...I remember how crazy the BSA was when Lorenz hit that shot to beat SDSU.

I tried... would have to become a member of Prairie Public TV. Can't watch it over here.

If they only let the fans sit on the west side then it might looked packed? wait.. that would mean they would have to drop it down to a couple chairs... I still go because back when they were good I bought the full bball tickets thinking it was a good deal for $200 for both men's and women's, now I think they should have to pay me $200 just to show up at women's games! :) I still show up though for the torture not sure why.. not like the bleachers are as comfortable as my couch.

The Glory Years of the 90's, YES!
The BSA would often be packed, people shoehorned in sometimes.
Great WBB, 3 concession stands going with multiple lines at every one.
Delta State, (their cheer team too), Bentley, Portland St., and more.
WBB outdrawing the men on a regular basis.
Elite 8's, Lyle H. announcing in a tux. The Good Old Days of Bison WBB.

They used to pack the place. Fan base was over 1500 at the start of the current regime and has faded to 300. I wonder if the loss of revenue will continue to go unnoticed. 1200 fans at $10 per ticket x 15 home games adds up to $180,000 in non attendance revenue. Can we afford to keep HER?
