I'll be the first to apologize for the student section

kinda a dumb question here, and maybe it's been mentioned, but was the game considered a "sell out"??

All I can tell you is that the gobison website said SOLD OUT on Friday after the 8:AM sales.

Haha.......it appears its time to take a break from BV for awhile.....good lord.

Sold Out with no-shows. Happens a lot at Denver Broncos' games, where they have sold-out every home game since 1970. During the fourth quarter of each game, there is a guess the attendance segment on the big boards. After the correct answer is revealed, the announcer Alan Roach will make reference to the number of no-shows, which causes the crowd to boo the non-committal fans for a few seconds.

So, you don't enjoy watching the future of the team play? In blowouts (too bad ours tend to be in losses), we get to see next year's players in actual game situations.

I don't know if they advertised it enough because there are hundreds of empty seats and there will be hundreds the rest of the year.


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.

Ndsu either needs to fall back to the pack a bit.... Or move up to fbs and find a way to maintain a relatively good record (we aren't turning this into an FBS thread).

This is the dumbest lame ass thing I've ever read

You must be illiterate.

Posted in wrong spot

IMHO.....if the students order a ticket on Monday, have it loaded onto their ID but then don't show up to the game and have their ID swiped at the door, maybe they should be blacklisted for xxxx# of games???:ranting:
I walked by the South Doors (on our way to the tailgating lot, and there wasn't 100 students in line. Last week there would have been a 1,000+ by that time. I guess it was too cold to come out of the dorms to stand in line????:facepalm:
For that matter we noticed that the GA lot was sadly quiet and lacking of fans until shortly before game time. (note: the reserved lot was sufficiently rocking!):biggrin:
I know people looking for tickets to the last two games and if there may be GA tickets for sale on Friday they need to let the public know. Sooner than later if possible.

El Chapo and 344 state they are bored for different reasons. El Chapo has an agenda and supports that agenda. 344 is a fool. I don't agree with the agenda, but we can have a good conversation over a beer. There is no good conversation to be had with 344. He has shown he is nothing but an antagonistic idiot. He doesn't care about the school, fans, etc. No reason for him to be here. This is about as epic of a meltdown as twentysix had before he left.

Thats 45 times now. If you aren't 6 5 then you're an idiot & the personal attacks are getting old. You haters who don't want to hear the truths of how some of us feel resort to it. It's what you do bravo. Way to enjoy life.

I have zero agenda I am telling the truth everyone left at 27-3. Last week we all left at 31-10 that's what's happening. Incarnate word 28-0. It all happened sorry!

I was surprised the standing room only people didn't go sit in the student section. Lot's of people were in the corners the entire game.

A1 they had no idea, why didn't pat simmer who stands right next to all the poor people in the corner in section 6 walk over and tell them to go up there while he grabbed his jumbo hot dog?

There is no communication from marketing people you'd think they'd want those SRO people up in seats. Duh!

It's youth... I was at NDSU 94 - 99. The football team was good but not great but we supported the team. The women's basketball team was elite and I never paid attention. Now that I am old, I wish I would have paid attention because championships for your favorite team are special. A lot of kids don't realize it. Partially because they haven't necessarily developed a loyalty to one team. They follow whomever is good which is why everyone loved the Bulls when I was a kid or the Heat and Cas now...

If you saw that why didn't you go tell him this?

Most people follow rules. SRO means what it stands for.

I don't think anybody in an official capacity should tell people who aren't students to go sit in those sections. That could cause real problems in the future.

If people do it on their own, that's different.

So you're saying if the Bison were FBS and ahead 31-10 that you wouldn't leave? Or are you saying you would prefer the Bison lose a couple games every year to keep it interesting?

he prefers whatever he can squeeze into an argument for what he's already decided is right.

Were there other events going on that would have prevented students from showing up?

The lack of loyalty is a generational character issue as well though. It has always existed but I think it is worse. My generation is easily more self-loving and disloyal than those above us. This is obviously a generalization with plenty of exceptions. I love seeing a little kid that pulls for a team even when they are bad. I can properly guess certain things about their character and future based on something so simple

I don't see how the occasional home blowouts are so boring. As a bison fan I love watching next years guys in action. I can totally understand a student stressed out by tests and due assignments leaving at that point though

I think a lot of it is due to short attention spans / Red Bull and smartphones.

I'm sure the student section will be full for the SDSU game.

I think that is over stating it a bit. Little kids cheer for teams often because their parents do. People need to find there way a bit and it really doesn't matter whom you cheer for. I guess my point is that this is a really really cool time to be an NDSU football fan, or any type of football fan in Fargo because it is being played well. Winning championships involve mix of talent and luck. Unfortunately people don't understand what they have until it is gone.

So quit going then if its so boring for you. Otherwise shut up. For someone who claims to love ndsu.. You sure dont like a lot about it. And dont use your personal attack/victim garbage cuz i dont even know you.

Whats wrong with loving NDSU, but not necessarily liking the situation they're in? or do you have to love NDSU and then love everything they decide to do? there's nothing wrong with Chapo going to continue the party at a different(established) venue.

actually the personal attacks are fucking lame and immature. Especially over the internet...basically because that's all anyone has if they have nothing to add to a conversation. Am i right?

I'm happy to say your group is not alone! :)

But could someone please tell me why not sell rows AA & above, as Gen Admission in sections 10-12 & 13-15,
IF IF IF the students don't request all of their seats?

Leaving an empty seat at the Fargodome while the Bison are still playing is what's lame.

Getting to a bar a few minutes early is more important than supporting and showing respect for the team? That's what's lame.

Nothing at all Longhorn. But at some point this became a I'm gonna criticize everything about NDSU thing. The Fargodome sucks, the new AD sucks, it's boring, etc. No, not everyone left. If that makes me a chump, so be it. Not everything needs to be positive, unicorns and fairies on here, but geez this sure ruins a good discussion.
The goofers are three hrs away. I'm sure tickets are available.
