Glad that it's still on a Saturday but would it be too much to ask to move the kickoff back just a teensie bit? Noon CT would be better than last year but 1PM CT would be super.

Sorry, there is a California junior high volleyball match that needs to air on ESPN2 at 3:00pm. ESPN says they're locked into that time slot, so no luck.

Does matter. Who'd be stupid enough to buy tickets for this game and book hotels? I'd think it's better to wait with the team we have coming back, shit we'd be lucky to finish just behind the Effing small cocks in the Big Pie conference.

I know this is all in good fun and wanting the ideal time and day of the week but please stop. Getting to the national championship game and bitching about when it should be played?! Really?! Some teams in the FCS have never been to a championship game. Some will never get there. The fact that we have been there 5 times in a row is unreal. Seems a little nit picky to complain about this. It would be like the hottest girl at the bar taking you home and then complaining about the color of her sheets!

Hate tying up 60K HH points, but 20K a night for the Hilton Garden in Frisco is a good deal when rooms are well over $200/night. (Redeeming over 1 cpp for HH points is outstanding.) Locked it in, again.

Why is this even being discussed. This is the FCS championship game. Last I checked, the C in FCS stands for championship and the B in FBS stands for bowl. Doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of calling it the FCS?! Viewership of the game is pretty good; but it could be better. I think they should put effort in putting some pressure on ESPN to actually advertise the game. Doing that would do a lot to adding viewership and exposure to the game; which is probably why they are discussing the name change to begin with. Dumb idea. Leave it the FCS Championship Game. Bowls are for cereal!!

The game doesn't stand out as it is. If calling it a bowl and attaching a sponsor to it can raise a few more bucks and get a bit more marketing involved that is fine with me. Something needs to change.

3 immediate things came to mind

1) It absolutely needs to have championship in the name. If the GoDaddy Bowl and the D2 championship game is on, I'm always going to watch the championship game over the Popeyes Bowl.
2) They are trying to be just another game hoping to draw casual viewers. Maybe if the name has bowl in it somewhere, people will start caring.
3)
"To be in the same space, if you will, as the FBS bowls was absolutely tremendous," MEAC commissioner Dr. Dennis Thomas said. "We were the first game on ABC to start the bowl season. It was branded that way, it was marketed that way, it was promoted that way."
It was absolutely not branded that way. I heard many times on ESPN, ABC, satellite radio, etc. that the first bowl game of the season was the one that started immediately after the Celebration Bowl. No talk about NCA&T or Alcorn St.

No way! A championship is a one of a kind and bowls are a dime a dozen. I would never give up the championship for a bowl even if it did garner more attention. That is like rubbing poop on your coat so more people notice your coat. More people might notice but it aint because things got better.

Just made my flight bookings. Planning on flying all three kids next year. Driving to Omaha, and flying direct on American on 1/5/17 on the way down using British Avios, and Delta on the way back on 1/8/16 via Atlanta. Hoping inventory opens up on American on 1/8/16, in which case I'll switch to American, and redeposit my miles for Delta. Cost me 50K Delta Skymiles and 30K British Avios. Not bad at all. (Except that r/t flight from Omaha is currently $169....problem is fare is non-refundable, where I can get miles back if needed.....would be a stellar buy to use my Wells Fargo points) If that somehow persisted until the semi-final game, I'd be moving to cash and go get my miles back.

I dunno, TSCF... At $169, I think the miles are worth more given the probability of the Bison returning to Frisco. Jus' saying.

ZERO argument with your guys point, but you can't refund cash, but you can miles. Plus, $169/ticket, so 80K miles to save $676. That is a value of 0.84 CPM making it a no brainer cash redemption if a typical deal. However, since I am not 100% sure NDSU will play in the game, and knowing the cash price will rise, still compels me to use miles since I can get them back for free.

So you spent 80K miles for four tickets? Then that's not bad math at all. I'd do that, for sure. I first read it as 80K per person.

I believe the 3 year pack was sold around this time of the year 3 years ago. However, the presale over the last couple years to those who bought tickets through the NCAA in previous years hasn't happened until the end of August. I remember last year it started the Thursday before the game in Missoula (which would've been 8/27).

I talked to the NCAA today. There will be no 3 year package offered this year due to the loss of 5,000 seats for renovation. They will send out emails in the next couple of weeks with information. Previous 3 year packages holders will be allowed to buy tickets before the general public. This should take place at the end of Aug first of Sept. The good thing is you will get to buy tickets anywhere you want on a first come first served basis.

I talked to the NCAA today. There will be no 3 year package offered this year due to the loss of 5,000 seats for renovation. They will send out emails in the next couple of weeks with information. Previous 3 year packages holders will be allowed to buy tickets before the general public. This should take place at the end of Aug first of Sept. The good thing is you will get to buy tickets anywhere you want on a first come first served basis.

Wow, losing 5000 seats? That is a lot of darn seat in a small stadium. Funny that was never mentioned when the new contract came out. These babies are going to go faster than PS running away from improving tailgating. (could not resist..... :) )

We heard about this last year when we there in Frisco. Even saw the plans for the addition to the stadium. Too bad it could not have been done before the game. Losing 20-25% of your seats is a lot no matter how big or small the stadium is.

Forgot this one tid bit. The NCAA decided not to offer the package this year as they would then have had to reseat everyone the next year after the construction work was completed.

Complete South end is a goner for 2016.

I would think that after 5 years of selling the place out, they would know that removing 5000 seats may be a problem. It better be an only 1 year issue.....

It's only a 1 year issue.

If they are under contract with the NCAA for hosting this event I would think that there would be a contingency clause of some sort whereby the NCAA could break the deal if these plans weren't disclosed at the time of signing.

Even if NDSU doesn't make it to the championship game, there very well could be 2 high level schools that collectively, could buy 20,000 tickets.

Play the damn game here....Capacity 18,500 and brand spanking new right next door in Allen. And it's a high school stadium!!! Beautiful facilty!

We knew about it when the contract was extended a few months ago. Most people just forgot about it.

The Comfort Suites Frisco by the stadium now has rooms available. The media had a bunch blocked off. They have now requested the amount they needed so there are now open rooms.

still available, I snagged 3 more rooms today.

I called for room at the Holiday Inn Express we stayed at last year. You could hear in the lady's voice that she had no clue why they were all booked Jan 4-6. I got rooms at a different place mid way between Wild Pitch and Tight Ends. Walking distance to both.

There's going to be some pissed off people including myself if we cannot get tickets...5,000 is a ridiculous number!

I think this has been posted somewhere already, but a reminder in this thread probably isn't a bad thing: When will tickets for the championship be going on sale?

Thanks!

History says in about 10 days for people who had previously purchased 3 year packs. About the last week of August for everyone else.

If anyone who had purchased a 3-year pack in the past has room to pick up 2 to 4 extra seats when you purchase, count me in and PM me please and thanks! :-)
