Pathetic. I stood up for my fellow students in the past, but this is absolutely pathetic. Unbelievable. Our fellow students that are players deserve better than this. Flame away.

Im confused. Didnt they buy tickets and then those that werent purchased by students were sold to public?
They need to get rid of a section of student tickets seriously.. Doubt it will happen but can always hope. Seats up high filling in a bit probably standing room people and those who did buy them.

They could open a sideline section up for season tickets and add another student section in the end zone

Football is not fun to watch when you "know" who is going to win after a couple games. The first couple games... Great... We want to see the team... But after that... It wears off unless we are playing teams the public perceives as a competitive game.Quote:

Doesn't matter if we win by 50 should be sold out at beginning of game, make tickets hard to get then there won't be any empty seats... Cut em to 3000 I say.

Im sorry but this attitude is pathetic. Give me your tickets then. Some people will never be happy.Quote:

I'm pumped for you to not be a student 344. Enjoy trying to get tickets at our age.

I know. That attitude just pisses me off and I'm not even an alum. NDSU is in the middle of the most historic run in team history and FCS history and this is the attitude people have. If I lived up there I would be more than grateful to attend every game even if it is 50-0 every game.Quote:

Edit....or wait...is this your team?
I'm not saying it's right, but 344 is right. Students these days don't have three hours to devote to watching NDSU absolutely blast every team in FCS. Just the way it is I guess.

You should be going now because you aren't getting season tickets in the next couple decades. You'll be scrambling to buy single game tickets and paying through the nose for them.Quote:

The fact that we are complaining about students showing up instead of the team itself is awesome... But at the same time really frustrating.

At least the team doesn't have the same attitude. We would have at least a couple losses if that was the case. Who woulda thought attendance would dip because we're too good?
I was stating in general... Very few students probably are as fortunate as that.Quote:

I hope he bought them for this game. I don't want to hear his rant today.
He did. So why didnt people buy the unused tix if given the opportunity?Quote:

You have no idea what it means to love ndsu. You are acting like a spoiled child. If you are trolling me ive totally swallowed the hook but if you are being honest..maybe you should find a notre dame or germany soccer forum to occupy more of your time.Quote:

Agree.
NDSU has an extremely good home schedule this year.

I'm spoiled when it comes to anything ndsu. My dad loves bison football. Not trolling at all. I don't love ndsu. I go here because I'm not smart enough for an elite school. Most students don't care. It's that simple. That's the problem.Quote:

I doubt I'll give a dime. I'm sure plenty of others will. I know plenty of folks who really support ndsu. I'm sure most folks you graduated with don't give a damn or else ticket demand would be outrageous.Quote:

I wouldn't get too excited about what one student says about what's "typical" of other students and applying it to future donations. People spend time with those that have similar interests. There will always be a percentage of students that don't care. The lack of attendance is concerning though. NDSU needs to figure out why they aren't selling out student tickets. You can like or dislike Bohl, but I was a student his first year coaching and he made a point to get to as many student organizations as he could to get students in the seats and make noise. At that time students were the only people in the dome making noise at any time.
So you're not an alum... how did you come to be a Bison fan?Quote:

Section 21 takes exception.
Again...if the students didnt buy all the tickts...why didnt the public buy them after the deadline if there is such demand????
I love the experiences ndsu has given me. But ndsu itself? No. Honestly I see your guys' point 100%. My views on this are only remotely relevant in regards to student attendance.Quote:
