I thought that the corner seats in the double attack end were supposed to be the premium location anyway. I imagine the empties were bought early by UND boosters who didn’t resell them because they’re bad at economics.

Those that did make it to the secondary market went for good prices.
What is a paper ticket? jk Who’s running this thing Fred Flintstone?Quote:

The ratings for KFAN would disagree.Quote:

I was under the impression that hockey had a ton of parity nowadays but in these 7 games we've had teams score 8 goals twice and 9 goals once.
Strange year so far. I’ve never seen anything like itQuote:

Ndsu football is on every tv in the state/region for game days and parties built around them
FCs games get 1 million viewers. Frozen 4 gets 200,000
NDSU WILL NEVER HAVE HOCKEY YOU STUPID F&:$:KS
If the Bison were playing to go to the Frozen Four, would you be there today?Quote:

But it's unlikely to happen because of fears it may distract from football.
…and it’s unlikely a UND fan would understand the importance of that last point.Quote:

NDSU has enough financial issues right now, and any money raised needs to be plowed into football. Hard no.Quote:

With football soon moving to FBS, it would be the only program on campus capable of playing for and winning a national championship.Quote:

Force attendance is over 4000 ave. this season so lots of fans attending plus a flohockey tv stream. 62 game season plus playoffs, thats a lot of high level hockey for this area. Need to build up NDSU club hockey to a national level and find them home ice contracts first, then it may have leverage.
I have no doubt that a lot of UND's ticket money would come to NDSU hockey but it's just not going to happen. NDSU will always be FB first and we need to get to FBS to grow it more. Need to get the BB programs elevated because they would draw if they were better, we saw it with past teams success. Once we have quality BB programs and an FBS home I wouldn't be opposed to a hockey program but that's a long ways down the road.Quote:

Next to the MSP area, Fargo is arguably smack dab right in the middle of the best youth hockey landscape in the US eh. It would not take long at all to be successful eh.Quote:
