The only way they could do that is if the school picked up the remainder of the cost since the NCAA dictates that you can't sell playoff tickets for less than the cheapest regular season single game tickets.
Re: GDT: NDSU vs Incarnate Word (FCS Semifinals)
ncaa won't low lower prices as regular season.
$35 is a crappy meal
or 1/2 tank of gas
or 4 Starbuck lattes...
STFU and go buy a ticket & BE there

I think they're onto something with that idea....out of town fans who normally make the multi-hour trek to Fargo for games are going to be staying put and watching on TV. If we want the Dome packed tonight, discounted tickets is a viable solution.

Lets get this party started! Can't wait for the tailgate and game. Six of us going. Really looking forward to seeing this offense go against our Defense. This QB looks legit.

Perhaps somebody from admin should get on the horn with NCAA and discuss an exception. NCAA is sharing rev right? Or do they just get a guarantee?

Given recent NDSU budget cuts, that ain't happening.

Like someone said, the NCAA should be asked for a "weather exception".

Nothing quite like a Friday night semi-final in the FFD. So excited to watch another Bison home game, that dome field advantage is huge!!
Bison 34

Can't hurt to ask. Worst that can happen is they say no. This weather is a unique situation. They may have to be careful to not set a precedent for other exceptions. There is a guarantee as well, but I assume our current ticket sales is above that.

We should give the unused tickets to the Faux Hawkers football team so they can say they made it to a semifinal playoff game. You know, it’s Christmas time, it’d be nice to be a good big-brother around this time of season
Re: GDT: NDSU vs Incarnate Word (FCS Semifinals)
Good News: I29 south of Fargo has gone from closed to no travel advised.
Bad News: The backside of the storm appears to be training moisture right down the Red and I29 north to south. That'll be the next battle to keep open.
