I just got my Team Makers letter, which by the way is titled Bison Insider! They have announced the new fee schedule. I used to sit in section 4. This is now reserved for footballers families as is section 5. Looks like Ill have new seats for sure. Hope Josh can get me in the first 10 rows in one of the $200 sections.

Section 32 & 23 are $75/seat.

Section 3, 33 & 20 are $200/seat.

Sections 2, 34, 17 & 19 are $300/seat.

Sections 1 & 18 are $400/seat.

Got mine today too. In section 34 the donation requirement goes from $250/seat to $300/seat. No big deal IMO. Two years ago they asked for a voluntary increase to $275 so the bump to $300 doesn't seem like much. Particulary when you see the higher level of play we get to now. ;D ;D

As it is now, people in sections 1 and 18 are paying $2000/seat to watch NDSU play UNC, UCD, SDSU, Weber State, and Nicholls State.

Do you guys think it's worth it?

It's not a per game amount. It's the amount of donation required to buy SEASON tickets.

Yes, thats right roadwarrior. The Team Makers per seat charge is a 1 time payment/season and then you pay for tickets. In a $400/seat section the cost is $480 for the season. Yes, its worth it. I used to pay the fee to see Augi, Morningside and the like. My eyes were really opened by how much better a scholarship DI-AA team is than a DII squad. The game has definately gotten better.

Looks like they increased the student section, as well. Hopefullly if gets used.

I was going to give increase my TM donation this year. Looks like I'll be able to keep my seats. *;D (or get the ones I want)

Anybody hear anything on season ticket prices? Will they stay about the same or is there also an increase coming on that end?

Sidenote: Sounds like the Team Maker Thunderzone isn't doing too great (not many inquiries). If you're interested talk to someone in the ticket office and get your request in.

I think the student section is the same. They have had sections 13-16 on the west side every year but the first in the dome. My seats are in section 17, so the students have been my neighbors for a long time.

I was referring to the endzone portion. They started by adding a part of section 12 a few years back, yadda yadda yadda, then the rest of section 11,12, and part of section 10, and now it's all of sections 10-12.

The students now have 7 full sections reserved for them. I want to see all of those 7 sections filled!! ;D ;D

Otherwise, section 16 might be opening up for $200/seat donations.

When you say $200/seat....does that mean it went up from being $200 for the right to two season tickets? So it doubled?

The lowest level for Team Makers in previous years was $100. That allowed you to purchase up to two seats in sections 4, 21, or 32. The new Team Makers dues for these sections are $75 per seat, so you would be looking at a net increase of $50 if you buy two seats (unless, of course, the actual ticket prices also increase).

I'm in section 20, where the former contribution level was $300 to purchase up to two seats, or $600 to purchase up to four seats. I will be writing a check for $400 this year, instead of the $300 I paid last year to be able to purchase two seats.

To make it even more confusing, they changed the levels around last year, so the "$300" level only required a $250 donation.

Next yr Ill pay $580 for 2 tickets in section 3. Thats fine by me.

Last yr for 2 tickets in section 4 I pd $400. Im looking at my letter for my taxes now.

I think Bisonguy is right, and any overpayment on my part was a voluntary gift.

I remember getting 50 yd line tickets at old Dacotah Field from past Team Makers, God Bless ya Dacotah Hose, for the asking.

I agree - I've been a teammaker since 1983 and its been the best investment by far I've ever made. Get together with some other fans and get your tickets together. It will give you better seating.

I've inquired (a little while ago) and have about eight folks in my group. *I hope something happens.

Got my Team Makers bill for 05-06 membership dues today.

Also included is a 12 page colored brochure titled "A Guide to NCAA Regulations". It covers booster involvement, student-athlete employment, and the internet.

The tentative athletic schedule for 2005-2006 is also included. A couple of big BB games on the schedule, including the men at Wisconsin on January 21 and the women at Minnesota on January 26.
