More Seats taken away from students- available for Season Tix

[MankatoBison]

https://gobison.com/news/2020/4/16/more-season-tickets-opening-in-2020-for-ndsu-football.aspx

Top 11 rows of the Sideline student sections (13, 14, 15) now available for season tix.

Fine with me. If students leave 1,000 seats open routinely, then take em away

[HandoEX]

Easy choice by the athletic department and great to have some more people get season tickets now that have wanted them.

[Professor Chaos]

This has been known since season ticket renewals went out in mid-February. Interesting thing about the timing of this new announcement is I'm pretty sure it indicates that there is no waiting line anymore for season tickets and they actually don't even have enough current requests to fill up those new seats (and the churn from existing seats) with new season ticket holders. Unless I'm mistaken you've been able to apply for new season tickets for some time now so no reason to solicit more requests unless the supply is exceeding demand.

[WeAreThePride]

Students are bailing early every game anyhow.

[Herd Mentality]

I think demand has waned considerably. More people concerned about not going to Oregon than not going to home games.

Is it a bit callous of NDSU not to have reached out via email or mail to their season ticket base like any company I have ever done business with has? May not have a season and you may not have a job right now, but make sure to prepay for your tailgate parking by May 15th.

I guess they updated the TeamMaker sticker design for the first time in a decade. One new idea was probably enough.

Yes they may have squeezed a little to hard, I sit in the upper rows been trying for years to get lower season tickets.
Now when you talk to anyone in the ticket office they ask if your interested.
They did back off on the April 1 to may 1 ticket payment and I may ask for another extension

Alot of bitching went on about no tickets. When they became available many didnt want to pay the price.

It wasn't that long ago that we had a 1,000+ student waitlist for regular season home games and the original 7 full sections filled up with students. I remember having to get your ticket at 8am every Monday morning otherwise you weren't going to that Saturday's game. Extremely disheartening to see how the student body has disappeared.

If only there were some substance the Fargodome could sell, in order to generate revenue, and attract people in the 21 age demographic.

Haha, I like the way you think! I've always thought that the whole beer sales in the Fargodome thing was the ace in the hole that NDSU could play when they needed it to fill the seats but for the last few years they've been raking in chips without needing to touch it... now may be the time.

no doubt. freakin idiotic... especially with this upcoming season and economic climate .. BEER SOLD PERIOD>

Keeps Junior/Senior Students at the games, $100-$200k for NDSU , Keeps People in the dome/adds excitment/noise and Less pounding shots before the games its a Win Win Win Win

Sorry Nona Wood its over, you lose.

Eight dollar beers isnt going to keep college students in there seats.

Believe me, a ton of students leave at halftime specifically to go drink more beer. And they happily plunk down 6 bucks a beer at the bar until 1 am. The dome NEEDS to start selling beer if they want to boost attendance.

[56BISON73]

Of course they do. But that doesnt mean they will do it at the Dome. I cant imagine a place I wouldnt want to drink at more than the dome. Bar atmosphere is way different. If it wasnt most people would stay at home and drink. I just dont think selling beer is the golden key.

[bisonp]

I've been saying for two years that demand was shrinking and that we don't need to expand. It was pretty obvious to anybody who saw all the open seats despite technically selling out the season. Beer isn't going to fill all those seats, and they'd probably need to expand the bathrooms first anyway so it's not a shitshow like it is at concerts.

COVID certainly won't help, I have a feeling it's going to be a couple years before people feel comfortable in large crowds again.

[MankatoBison]

Must spread rep
It is NOT the golden ticket or the difference between 1,000 empty seats and standing room only.

However if it gets 100 people to stay and helps and generate money? this is such an obviously good decision it makes my head spin that anyone is against it

[HerdBot]

I don't think it's the golden key either but it would be a good thing. Maybe some revenue, but most people, including myself, go into the dome already having drank a few too many and are consuming water instead. Students probably won't be able to drink in the student section anyways so all that means is the 21+ students will be standing in the concourse pounding $8 beers. But nothing will happen until the remodel the concourse and expand them

Welp, pack it up guys. 56 says HE wouldnt want to drink at the dome, so that means no one should be able to decide for themselves whether or not THEY would like to drink at the dome. 56 Knows that virtually NO ONE likes drinking at football, baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer games across the globe. If you think that someone MIGHT want to drink at a sporting eventH Ha... well, hate to say it, but you are an idiot and should be ridiculed to the full extent of Bisonville harassing"

Seriously 56 did you just suggest that people GENERALLY dont like drinking at sporting events because you wouldnt want to?

Imagine taking suggestions from this guy.
"Hey 56, what kinds of things should be on the menu?"
"Cheeseburger and fries".
"Good call, lets get chicken fingers on the menu too"
"No. I wouldnt order chicken fingers personally so take them off the menu"
"But alot of people have been asking me to add chicke-"
"I SAID NO! I cant imagine an item I wouldn't like to order more than chicken fingers"

[WeAreThePride]

Besides the increased revenue, we should be focusing on improving the experience for fans. Let's face it, North Dakotans like to drink beer. A lot. I bet you could average selling 30,000 beers per game at a MINIMUM. At 8 bucks, that's an additional quarter million in revenue 10 games a year. Plus increased fan retention, and perhaps even increased demand for tickets.

And for drawbacks? Maybe a few isolated rowdy fan incidents. But at 8 bucks a beer, and with long lines, it'll be hard to get too drunk over the course of a game. There's more than enough security in the Dome to handle any drunk idiots.

Or maybe our administration knows exactly what it's doing, and the vast majority of other sports venues in the US have it wrong.

The Basketball thing with beer was a limited joke (i think ndsu wanted it that way so they can say "see, we told you it wont generate big revenue so we won't do it with football)

sit way up top & drink a beer, couldn't even take it down to seats or order it from a vendor walking up or down.

Put me in the beer column for no other reason then I don't have to smuggle booze into the FFD. Damn, that gets uncomfortable. Fortunately, I sit beside very cool folks.

Another good point. With no beer sales, people are more inclined to smuggle in liquor, more booze per volume, which is more likely to lead to excess drinking and puking.

It's difficult to get drunk on beer in 3 hours. Certainly not impossible, but it takes a lot more effort.

While drinking more during the game will effect the game day experience for others. Constant runs for beer then the pisser. Drunks becoming drunker.
People smuggling in booze is pretty small.

I would like to know if they thought it was successful. We sometimes enjoyed a beer or wine before the game. If there were more room we might have taken it to our seat. But basketball is really a whole different crowd than football.
I dont believe I would buy beer at the dome. I drink at tailgate and I am busy yelling at the game

[Bison 4 Life]

Even if there was beer at the dome, no way they'd let it go into the student section. Too hard to police buying beer for underage kids.

Simple solution to cut down on the spillage. Sell the 16oz cans. That's what the other Missouri Valley schools do that sell beer. Not only that, but selling them is quicker than filling plastic cups.

Couple of things that could be counted as a downside. The food and beverage vendors are staffed by groups using it as a fundraiser. Mostly high school kids. Kids can't sell alcohol so there might not be as many opportunities for local youth to raise money. Might not be an issue for you, but others may have kids or grand kids that would be affected.

As it is, if you drink too much prior to the game, you have 4 quarters of football to sober up prior to getting in your vehicle to go home. Less chance of getting a DUI, or worse, getting in an accident and killing someone. Won't be an issue if you have a DD.

I'm not saying these outweigh the benefits - just something else to think about.

Yeah, these are good points. Clearly I haven't thought about it much... or my thought process so far has been something like:

"Beer? Sure, Why not!"

[southcliffbison]

I don't know what all the angst is about. Not everyone at the game is going to guzzle beer. There will be plenty of fans in attendance buying hotdogs, hamburgers, popcorn, pretzels, dippin' dots, etc. Highly doubt Fargo Youth Hockey funding will be impacted by beer sales.

JFC, the people these days! :facepalm: In the good old days of Bison football, we used to piss in our snowmobile suits like real men. Then, without so much as missing a beat or another running play (Goddammit, Entz, run the fricken' ball!) we would down ANOTHER bottle of schnapps and throw it at the three blurry press boxes we saw, aiming for the one in the middle.

Good times.

I think your fear is unfounded. If demand is so damn low, why would anyone who owns season tickets buy an additional 10, 12, 20, 30 or more? Unless they think there's a possibility to make money off them on the secondary market. Good luck with that. They'll be lucky to break even. Hopefully, those folks get stuck with them and use them for a paper enema.

[BisBison]

What an uninformed take. The student government contributes to the athletic department every year. They make the decision and the $$$$ come from a portion of the student fees. Where did you get your information?

[Professor Chaos]

NDSU's student body does contribute a good chunk of change to the athletic department ($1.5M in 2018) but they do get a pretty good "deal" with what they get out of it compared to most students whose schools are at the FCS and G5 levels.

https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/

As you can see some schools *cough*JMU!*cough* fund a big part of their athletic budget using student fees while only about 5% of NDSU Athletics' revenue comes from student fees.

[El_Chapo]

NDSU need to raise MORE student fees for athletics. our athletics give those kids more clout with their diploma, might even raise an eyebrow of an exec in an interview if they are a football fan.

Wait you are saying that because I graduated in 2000 my degree from NDSU is worth more today than it was then because of the football team??

And no I don't think they need to raise any more fees towards students. They are already paying more for 1 year than I did for 4 or 5 years when I was at NDSU.

It's not football but it's just as visible nationally and an eye opener for me: Kansas lowering basketball season ticket prices (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/29138928/kansas-lowering-basketball-season-ticket-prices)

This was done in response to the COVID pandemic. Kansas has sold out 306 consecutive games... if they're lowering ticket prices for a commodity as in-demand as KU basketball I'd have to imagine this is something we're going to see across much of college sports since many schools were already seeing attendance declines. Does NDSU football and/or basketball follow suit?

This has to be a reaction from feedback they've received IMO. Not sure that's required at this point at NDSU but if they are not selling out then they need to lower prices until demand is exceeded again. It's pretty simple supply and demand economics.

I can't imagine raising student fees on athletics is going to go over too well during a time when student interest in athletics is as low as it has been since....the move to D1 probably?

Jacking up the price on a commodity the students aren't even taking advantage of probably wouldn't be very good optics.

I would think if they were gonna do a noticeable jump in fees, they should have done it when the student body was plump full at football games.

[KC Bison]

I'm so sorry I dared asked the question BUT 15,000 student (I realize less than that right now) raising $1,5 million is $100 for all sports per year. This is not a huge amount per student considering all the athletics perks that go with being a student.

There is zero chance the student fee will be raised. They looked at this not long ago. Just over rule the students......how is it they can have all the say. Too bad. Costs money to be DI. If they want small time go attend one of the smaller ND colleges. Crap NDSU has one of the lowest student fees in the US. $100 per year for all the club's and sports is dirt cheap. Maybe if they paid more they would see the need to attend and get their money's worth.

BTW, it is the only sustainable model for the future especially with falling enrollment. Look at WIU and SIU whoseenrollments have fallen by half. SIU in particular has crazy high athletics fees and our screwed...

[El_Chapo]

Just over rule the students......how is it they can have all the say. Too bad. Costs money to be DI. If they want small time go attend one of the smaller ND colleges. Crap NDSU has one of the lowest student fees in the US. $100 per year for all the club's and sports is dirt cheap. Maybe if they paid more they would see the need to attend and get their money's worth.

its amazing how cheap our students are over this... they spent more at chubs/sports bar in 2 months than they do student fees and when they are paying $20k a year, they can surely raise it $100/year and help their college.

I know everyone loves blowing up Chapo about everything but I agree with him. More visible sports programs absolutely helps out graduates, at least in my case it did. I meet with colleagues and clients all the time that ask about my NDSU polo and ring, comment about being a great program, how cool was it to go to school with Wentz, etc. Damn near everyone immediately after comments about how that’s all they know about ND but it’s something awesome to be known for.

[bisonaudit]

None of the money that goes to the athletic department from student fees goes to club sports.

Students get a say because it’s there money, they decide where it gets spent, whether that’s club hockey, the athletic department, an art gallery, student newspaper, radio, or the astronomy club.

I live in Manhattan. I wear NDSU stuff about once a week. I have gotten a few comments. I don't know that the football program has helped me in any meaningful way. I was at school when Wentz was as well.

Philly folks I run into geek out a bit over the Wentz stuff. But if you were asking me if I'd be cool with telling kids in school now, "hey the football team has done well, their success may potentially help you in the future, therefore you must pay more in fees" I'm not cool with that.

If the kids arent even filling the seats, then why the hell would you increase student funding of the athletics department?

No doubt, it may be different living in Texas because this place is college football heaven so it may not be the same experience for all. The point I’m trying to make is that a successful athletic department is incredibly helpful for a school like NDSU. It makes a city like Fargo a college town, gives people and donors $$$ school pride. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of little programs that student fees help fund and myself as a student probably didn’t use more than 5 of them. I still see the benefits of funding those other programs to help the brand of the university.

Look at it this way, UNDs student fees are like triple NDSU’s when it comes to sports. Most would say UNDs athletic department is not superior to NDSUs. There is justification for raising the student fees which haven’t hardly been risen at all especially in comparison to similar institutions.

Think about what an extra 1.5 million per year would do for our basketball program ($100 increase)

[Bisonator98]

$100 is basically a rounding error on one semester’s book fees. Sometimes it’s less than the cost of a book for one class. Raising student fees by $100 would have little to no tangible impact on enrollment. If a student were to leave school to go somewhere else, or choose to go somewhere else, they would find themselves enrolling in a school that likely has much higher student fees.

Thanks for speaking truth rather than the typical woe is the spoiled average student at NDSU crap. They are in more debt after attending college, not just due to higher tuition costs, but due to their spending habits. Seems many young kids these days like to pass the buck to others regarding their own needs and entertainment. With age and adulthood comes personal responsibility.

[BattleBorn]

I was told I got a job interview in part because of NDSU's football success. Is that silly? Yes. Did it benefit me? Also yes. That said, I love the idea of reducing fees for students if feasible. If an opportunity presents itself to move to a conference that would require more fees and would come with academic benefits as well, then that makes things different in my eyes.

Besides the increased revenue, we should be focusing on improving the experience for fans. Let's face it, North Dakotans like to drink beer. A lot. I bet you could average selling 30,000 beers per game at a MINIMUM. At 8 bucks, that's an additional quarter million in revenue 10 games a year. Plus increased fan retention, and perhaps even increased demand for tickets.

And for drawbacks? Maybe a few isolated rowdy fan incidents. But at 8 bucks a beer, and with long lines, it'll be hard to get too drunk over the course of a game. There's more than enough security in the Dome to handle any drunk idiots.

Or maybe our administration knows exactly what it's doing, and the vast majority of other sports venues in the US have it wrong.

$10 bucks a beer would raise more money. At the Metrodome, there were some really drunk people, spilling beer on old ladies, kids etc. With the new stadium, people appear to be more careful with their beer and less drunk.

No, this never happened. If it did, you (Sam Humann) would have been listed as part of the roster for that year. Something you can easily prove by contacting NDSU's Sport Information Department.

I played intramural sports and showed some college athletes how to drink when I was at ndsu. I sweat a little bit too. Was getting my ask kicked by a wrestler in basketball because he was taller then me so afterwards we decided to go in the wrestling room and since he already kicked my ass in basketball I said the heck with it I've got nothing to lose so I took a shot. Caught him off guard took him down and for an instant felt pretty good. Pissed him off and got my ass kicked after that. Also went to Rochester with the center fielder and took batting practice with him and his dad over at Rochester mayo. Oh yeah and then third semester I got the syllabus for phy ed and only showed up for flag football days. Totally dominated. Student teacher was so impressed she said i should show up every day! Oh yes and I also fired a pea from my spoon in the dining haul and managed to hit Bob babich with it. If i hadn't done these things I'm convinced ndsu wouldn't be where they are today. Oh yeah and Justin Fletschock is my cousin. No way ndsu could do it without me. I should get 100 points.

Prove it that you were on the NDSU Baseball Team. If you were, your name would be in one of the numerous media guides they had that year.

I’ll stop when he stops ripping on every aspect of the university. He continues to whines about the staff, the facilities, the athletes, the recruits, the athletes we don’t have, and now, he whines the students aren’t paying enough, despite their costs being ten times more than what he (his parents) would have paid.

He’s not a fan, just another anti-NDSU troll posing as a Bison fan. He does it with his numerous social media accounts to go along with how he tries to represent our fan base as idiots when trolling every other fan site of teams that play NDSU in football.

No fan of NDSU, or any athletic team, acts this way.

There was no "magic;" they simply started playing better soon after I made my statement. During their slump, I stated their body language looked bad - something most people can recognize. When the got out of their slump, their moxie was back. It's pretty simple stuff, but you an and your fellow F'Hawker fan, JBB, (there was wasn't "many") just kept digging yourselves a whole. Then again, being that you guys cheer on a team of losers and Nazi-sympathizers, maybe you don't know what a confident-looking team looks like to begin with, and hence, why you guys think your team has a "chance" to beat the Bison in football.

Just a reminder, these are your posts the day before they went on a 27-13 run. Pretty impressive by a team that was broken and didn't have moxie, must have just needed the keen observation from an body language expert.

You continue on with your cruasade being the hero no one knew they needed, I'll let you get the last word in and continue your obsession with random internet people.


For the past few months, the fire and desire of the team has been seriously lacking and turning into fear, hence why I said the moxie has disappeared. Gotta play loose as a goose and mean as a moose.



You might not know, but I do. Just need to understand body language. No moxie the past few months, but a whole lot of "oh crap" looks, especially on the faces of the pitchers.

Where in those quotes (which you keep taking out of context) am I claiming to be the Twins' hero? Before they went on that 27-13 run, remind me what their record was and how were they playing as team during the time-frame I was referring to? It was crap and crap. Nothing magically happened. They finally got it together until the playoffs (and the Yankees), especially the pitching, which, of course, you forgot to include this post:


Broadcast talking about about how the bullpen has turned things around since August 16th and how it correlated to the team taking charge of the division.

That leads you to UND hockey. Alumni are more likely to care about the entire university and not just the sport they like to follow. If you take too many seats away from students, or you can't keep current students interested in sports while they're in school, then your fanbase shifts more and more to non-alumni over time. And that's UND hockey, where a huge chunk of the fanbase is willing to throw the entire university under the bus over a nickname because the hockey team is literally the only thing they care about. Would hate to see NDSU football go the same way(it's already getting uncomfortably close).

[SDbison]

Gotta be careful taking too many. Those are the people you want donations from in the future.


What do you think the odds are that a NDSU student who didnt go to the football games would be a donor to the football program later on in life?

I don't thing you would be able to handle the truth if compared your generation's struggles to the struggles of younger generations.

The issue I'm anticipating has little to do with the current crop of students.

Say in 5-10 years there is demand for 5-6K student seats like it was when I was in school and only 2500(just picking a number here) can go. That's over 1K fewer students every week in the some becoming more invested in the program/ university.
