Re: NDSU looks at possible football game at Target Field
How come they didn’t have the team up north do this? :biggrin:
Re: NDSU looks at possible football game at Target Field
This will be a fantastic event, I think the fact that it's in a baseball stadium is part of the fun. I didn't hear negative feedback about the prior football game that was played at Target Field.

I see what you did there.

Only to the plebes. The rest of us will be sitting in the Champions club drinking beer for free.

You’re going to drink beer in the Champions Club? You still have almost two months to think this through.

And of course they sell beer there.
Ive seen quite a few football games in baseball stadiums in my time and in my opinion it sucks.. There arent really any great or good seats to watch a football game in a baseball stadium.
Now if you are talking about having an event or party then you would be some what correct. Plus with Butler being the opponent I dont think the action will be too riveting so seat placement wont matter much with the party going on.:D

This is going to be as good of a study in what the demand for NDSU football really is as we can get, and if you don't think it will be a big data point in any future stadium or FBS considerations, you're dead wrong.
Our group of 9 has no interest in going and we've made every FBS game sans Ball State and CSU. Nobody wanted to give up the weekend and make an 18 hour road trip to watch us play a non scholarship football.team. Had it been a JMU/Villonava/Jax State/Grambling or Southern/Ivy school/ virtually any name brand FCS team it would have been sold out long ago.
Re: NDSU looks at possible football game at Target Field
I initially punted on this game because I want to go to Delaware instead, it's a 8-10 hr trip either way and 2 weeks apart isn't enough time for me to do that.
That said, don't be surprised if I show up. It's going to be a fun weekend.
