Delaware 2019

[Gully]

Anyone making plans to attend yet? I'm planning on going but haven't even looked into hotels, tickets, etc.

Is there any insight to the ticket situation yet? I'm not sure if they'll try to tightly control things or leave it open for anyone to purchase when they begin selling.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm planning on it. Giving up the Target Field game so I can go. Got a room but no ticket yet. I haven't tried to navigate that system yet.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

I plan on going to the Delaware game. Fly into Philly and hang out there, then drive to the game. Maybe visit Paddys.

[gumby013]

I'll be there. I have meetings scheduled the following week in NYC.

Driving down from Maine for this one. Closest game to me in years!

[THEsocalledfan]

I'm thinking of travel hacking my way there, however, my sons football schedule is likely to make it not possible.

[westnodak93bison]

Maybe. If I go I want to tour Camden just to see it is really that bad.

NFL needs to schedule the Eagles at home that weekend. Potential for a darn good time.

[scbison91]

I will be there. .My son goes to school in Philadelphia........

[cbline]

My nephew's wife started a post-doc at Delaware this past fall, and they live in Philly. We are on the fence about going. Could visit them in their new place and also attend the Bison game. We shall see.

[totoinfl]

Thinking about this one myself. Either fly cheap into Virginia Beach and drive up or in BWI.

[tony]

Every time I think I can get to a game, something comes up that squashes my plans. I will not tempt fate by making plans yet.

However, for those thinking of going, it's under 40 miles from Philadelphia International Airport to Newark, DE.

You must attend. I don't think I've ever met you, although I understand you're a "very ordinary looking guy" :)

Glad you decided to attend, I'm sure it was a tough decision for you.

[ndsubison1]

Planning on going

[SamsRams]

Hotel booked a couple months ago as well as flight into BWI. Still need to book return flight. Pumped for this one. Love seeing NDSU in new stadiums

[StL Bison Fan]

We are ready! Hotel and plan on driving and sightseeing

[NovaBison]

Definitely going! Currently driving to Baltimore everyday for work, and this isn't that much farther of a drive.

That plus the Target Field game... going to get my fill of Bison games this year, finally, can't wait!

[Honeybooboo]

im booked at the Embassy Suites in Newark in what looks like its just steps from the stadium, undecided for sure if I'm going. Doesn't NDSU get an Allotment of tickets like every team that comes to the dome?

[hookerboots]

Planning on going....hoping for a Sunday home Eagles game as well!! Just need flights/tickets/hotel :)!!

[bisonaudit]

Eagles are playing the Jets in 2019 so 10.5 chances in 16 that they’ll be in the neighboorhood.

That's probably the kindest assessment of my appearance that I've ever read. *sniff*

"When is the last time you got a haircut?" My grandma every single time she saw me.
"Oh dear." My other grandma.
"You look like Hugh Hefner, if Hugh Heffner had been homeless for most of his life." (or a variation thereof) - pretty much everybody that one time I wore my beloved velvet blazer to the Dakotas.
"I loved you in Fargo." waitress in London who mistook me for Steve Buscemi 20 years ago.

We will be getting group ticket pricing from UD for attendees that have RSVP'd to the tailgate. Y'all can join us for all-you-can-eat & drink prior to the game & pick up your ticket from our check-in table.

yes. it is nice. That was a big concern of many in the design phase of the renovations. No one wanted to lose the sight lines we have had for 50 years. At one point they were talking about a complete rebuild before they went with the retrofit renovation......what also makes it nice is the stands start about 10-12 feet above the field which eliminates the low seats looking into the backs of the guys on the sidelines.......The renovations are a loooooonnnnnggggg time coming and will change the playing field for recruiting...........oh, and your radio guys will be very pleased that they don't have to climb into the old tin can press box that was just removed.......

Prior to construction it held b/t 22 and 23K......After construction, the capacity will slightly decrease, but the amenities will increase with a dedicated club seating section with cushioned chair back seats. Premium 35-35 yard line chair back seating. Updated concessions.......State of the art press box.....I can not speak to the Fargodome, but I would imagine an indoor facility would have all the amenities you would need. When the Whitney Athletic Center is finished, it will be one of the finest if not the finest facilities in the CAA and FCS.

got it. I kind of thought so, but......in cyber world you never know...our facility improvements for football have been a loooooooonnnnnnngggggg time coming. Part of KC Keeler's dismissal was due to the fact that he would not bury the facility topic and freely talked about what he wanted/needed to compete against the top FCS schools.....The old pres was not a big fan of putting cash into athletics......THe new pres and AD are both on board with putting athletics as the "front porch" of the university!

Note on the Delaware ticket site for those looking for tickets. The Carolinas group didn't get any tickets from the allotment. I think GA will also be available, but don't know for sure.


ON SALE 7/15! Three game mini plan starting at $55. Only way to secure seats for North Dakota State. All mini plan holders will get North Dakota State, choose either Delaware State or Penn, choose either Albany or Stony Brook and have the option to add a fourth game by choosing either Richmond or New Hampshire.

[Bison 4 Life]

If I'm reading it correctly, they are doing a sale on 7/15 of the packages which will be the first opportunity to buy tickets for NDSU, which seems to be the one they are selling hard.

August 1 they will sell the rest of the single game tickets, with NDSU being at a $5 premium over the regular cost.

Thoughts on this one selling out? I'm thinking of waiting until the 8/1 date to get them, should be ok yeah?

[Gully]

Why wait? I wouldn't. If you buy and don't need, I think you could sell them.

[Bison 4 Life]

With a capacity of 22,000 before the renovation, it only sold just under 20k to the Elon game last year. The only one to get close. Selling paper tickets 1500 miles away sounds like a PITA.

Are they adding capacity with the reno? I can't find it anywhere.

no. not adding capacity. actually there will be a slight reduction in capacity after the reno. Adding a ton of comfort aspects for both fans and press. New press box will be huge especially in comparison to the old one. The club section with have cushioned chair back seats with cup holders, the loge seats will have table seating and sections C, D, and E will have basic chair back seating. Under the stands will be the new club and below that on the concourse will be upgraded concessions. that being said, I expect this game to sell out. Something that used to be a regular occurrence in years past.

I'm not sure that's a good move for the ticket office. I'll buy 3 games and you'll have an empty seat for two games. USD did that and I ate the other ticket too.

Think I'll take my chances and wait until 8/1. Never not gotten into a game I wanted to go to. And I'm not interested in buying some package deal early.

Would love to see a sell out though, certainly helps with the atmosphere and as an opposing fan gets me even more excited for the game.

USD did that and I ate the other ticket too.Those seats may have been empty anyway but more they get some revenue for them. And their gags who buy them may decide to go to the game since they have the ticket. Sure some will eat the ticket but some won't. It's a good marketing tactic.

Update:

- We have a location with tent/tables/chairs.

- We have a hold on an additional 250 game tickets for anyone that missed out on the Athletic Dept. allotment. They can be purchased as an add-on to the price of the tailgate through our group and will be handed out when you check in.

- Our group has our hotel rooms reserved.

It's T-57 days and we should be ready to broadcast the shindig and begin accepting RSVPs & payments in another week.

- We have a hold on an additional 250 game tickets for anyone that missed out on the Athletic Dept. allotment. They can be purchased as an add-on to the price of the tailgate through our group and will be handed out when you check in.

- Our group has our hotel rooms reserved.

It's T-57 days and we should be ready to broadcast the shindig and begin accepting RSVPs & payments in another week.

Bonus: The "rig" will be wrapped in the next few weeks. She's ready for her maiden voyage!

Wow... thank you for all your hard work! Hoping to get tickets with you guys... but will be attending one way or another -- This should be a fun time

Been looking forward to this!

[Southern Bison]

The Bison football team is returning to the the east coast! A matchup between 2018 FCS playoff teams is the only "true" away game for our boys on the 2019 non-conference football schedule. If you are planning to attend, there is no need to schlep your tailgate trailer or bus, or bring your cooler and grill accros the country as the NDSU Alumni & Fans of the Carolinas have organized a gathering at Newark, DE for the North Dakota State vs. Delaware football game on Sept. 14, 2019. We have hosted tailgate events at Youngstown ('13 & '17) and Indiana St. ('15) as well as a pre-game party for the 2019 NCAA Tournament game between NDSU & Duke in Columbia,SC.

The day will include a tailgate cookout with players' families, University leadership, and alumni from across the country. Local Fargo media will be broadcasting live from our location. The tailgate lot opens at 9 am and we will be open from 9:30-12:30. Kickoff is at 1pm ET.

Tailgate menu: TBD, assorted side dishes, water, assorted pop and beer.

$60/person includes tailgate cookout and game ticket (parking fees not included)
$30/person includes tailgate cookout only (parking fees not included)

Please RSVP by Tuesday, September 3rd for us to accurately plan for food & game tickets.

***RSVP to carolina.ndsu@gmail.com with number of attendees and if game tickets are needed.***

Please park in grass lot of our tailgate area. Cost is $20/car (paid at the entrance). Tailgate cookout will be held one block south of 601 Sincock Lane, Newark, DE (for your GPS) at the pin on the map below.

Look for the tent with the Bison flags flying high!

Still looks like the only way to get NDSU tickets is through the $55 mini plan.

I bought through the tailgate, but that's some South Dakota bullshit.

Baltimore is an hour away. We are heading to the inner harbor after the game. It is a great area that I would recommend if you have time. We are staying near the National Aquarium which is really nice. And of course, crab cakes :hungry:

I took 2+ weeks of vacation, but we haven't quite dialed in the specifics of our itinerary yet. I know we're hitting up Pittsburgh and Philly on the way there, possible quick trip into NYC prior as well to see family. Then DC following the game. We have yet to make any hotel reservations either, may just kind of figure things out as we go.

I've really never been anywhere on the east coast except NYC when I was in high school. So looking very forward to seeing some great historical sights along the way!

[gumby013]

Have meetings the following day in NYC, so taking Amtrak after the game. Actually flying into Newark on Friday and taking Amtrak to Wilmington.

[THEsocalledfan]

So, looks like TSCF is in. Was worried I'd have to fly coach, but thank goodness, I found F seats to BWI. (Just can't sit with the common folk, could I? :) ) Any suggestions where to stay? I also emailed the carolina group hoping a day late is still okay.

Staying at the Homewood Suites across the street from the stadium.

Update:

We have had a great response already in just a few days after opening up RSVPs. Rest assured, there will be plenty of room (and food and beer) as we are planning on 500 Bison fans attending. We also have plenty of game tickets available as a part of the tailgate package.

If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do so as we are planning this outside of our career & family time which is limited. Emails coming in today are a lot easier to handle than at the deadline (Sept. 3rd)

Email me at carolina.ndsu@gmail.com with the names, email & mailing addresses, phone numbers, & graduation year (if applicable) and if you need game tickets as well.

Thank you for your support of our group's events since 2013!

Ended up reserving 2 spots with the alumni group. Figured instead of paying $55 for a package deal, we'd pay $60 for a single ticket and food/drink prior.

Scratched the NYC idea, felt like we were trying to do too much. Hitting up Pittsburgh, Gettysburg, Philly, the game, Baltimore and then DC. Should be a fun road trip! Gotta get that W though, that's the most important thing.

Go Bison!

Delaware beat Rhode Island in 3OT. Rhode Island used to be terrible but have really improved - almost a playoff team last season.

Delaware has been known for a solid defense and limited offense.

Delaware score 44 against RI but 22 pts came in OT.
RI QB dropped back 48 times... was sacked 0 times.
Delaware shut down their running game though.

I watched the game last night. Compared to their offenses, both teams’ defenses were superior. I expect Delaware to play their back-up QB, Nolan Henderson, a lot against NDSU as he is pretty mobile and about as accurate of a passer as Kehoe. Right now, I would say Delaware is only marginally better than UND.

Thanks for the clarification. Makes more sense now but I'm still pretty much deaf, nonetheless.

Oops, my memory is as bad as my drinking is heavy. Forgot we faced Delaware before.

Excusable. It was over before it started.

Talk about an annoying broadcast team. Commentary guy yelling "Ohhhhhh!!!" blew my speakers and destroyed what's left of my hearing.Damn that scared the shit out of me. I picked up my computer and threw it on the ground!

Rhode Island and Delaware both got dope looks

Curious how you see this one turning out? Is this year's team better than last year's?

5Dimes line is 27. O/U 51.

Wow huge home dogs.

Take points and the under. 38-12

Gotta agree. Maybe take NDSU with last year’s team, but that’s wild.

It's disappointing how far Delaware has fallen. The FCS is worse for it.

[MrSnuffleupagus]

Think this is going to be a close one. Delaware is good.

[23Bison]

Depending in the weather conditions I would say 31-10 Bison. I’m guessing the game will be similar in score as last season but our scoring will be more spread out in quarters 1-3.

17-7 at half Bison.
31-10 final Bison.

UC Davis > Delaware > UN_ > Butler
Non-Con gets tougher each week until Valley play starts, i like this.

Delaware is a better team than UND and the game and final score will show that. Close in first half, but Bison will pull away in second half like usual. Nothing too surprising going to happen IMO. But i doubt the Blue Hens will stack the box like UN_.

Funny, we are playing another some-sort-of Fighting Birds.

Then we go straight into a MVFC meat grinder. ISU-R, UNI, SDSU all in the next month after non-conference. I think bison win 35-10 this week, hopefully another Jabril Cox pick six.

Danny Rocco always looked so shell shocked playing the Bison in the Fargodome. Wonder if he'll look the same way playing at Dellawear?

Exciting times for Delaware football

- 3rd season for Coach Rocco, whom the Blue Hens hired away from Richmond

- now up to #18 in both Coaches poll and Stats FCS poll with 2-0 start

- more renovations ready on Delaware Stadium for 2019 season
https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2019/august/delaware-stadium-what-to-expect-this-fall/

- #1 NDSU coming to town - what’s not to like???
They may not be ready for this big a leap - huge upset of the Bison - but Coach Rocco has them headed in the right direction. Good name-brand recognition for FCS football.

- Delaware also has FBS Pittsburgh on the schedule, but still could be a playoff team, especially after not losing in OT against Rhode Island.

- pre-season pick at #5 for the Colonial Athletic Association, but Delaware does not play #1 pick James Madison. Can they outperform that forecast? But even so, 5 teams from CAA in the FCS possible.

Eh I'm not so sure on that, I think they are pretty close actually. Neither offense scares me, both average defenses. Watching the Rhode Island "highlights" I think we will have a good day rushing. Kehoe is not good.

This is pretty close to my opinion, which I posted yesterday:


I watched the game last night. Compared to their offenses, both teams’ defenses were superior. I expect Delaware to play their back-up QB, Nolan Henderson, a lot against NDSU as he is pretty mobile and about as accurate of a passer as Kehoe. Right now, I would say Delaware is only marginally better than UND.

During the RI game, they sold out to stop the run up the middle, but struggled against stopping runs on the perimeter. Today, I'm going to go back and watch their Delaware State game as that shouldn't have been close in any kind of way (31-13).

Weather forecast still shows light rain throughout game time. High of 81.
