But it's far worse, with the report saying the actual average number of tickets scanned at the gates was 22,656.

The actual final season number was under 16,000 scanned per game average
Maybe they need a new stadium?
That is just amazingly awful. How can you be such an arrogant SOB of a fanbase, but less half of your ticket-holders don't even come to games? Shameful. Yet, the arrogance persists. Same problem on a lesser scale in Iowa City.

Paid attendance is great but only half showed up. High School Football is competition for a Big Ten team?

Downtown I'd guess. That's where our whole crew is staying. The alumni association also sent out a list of downtown hotels with room blocks at special rates until early August: https://www.ndsualumni.com/2019/ndsu-vs-butler-hotels
I was able to book a room at the Westin downtown with a $90/night bid on Priceline. If you look on Priceline or anywhere else for a specific hotel downtown you won't find anything under $100 (and plenty over $200) but hotels are also going to have increased demand since, along with all us Bison fans rolling in, the Minnesota State Fair is happening at the same time as well.
If you do Priceline's name your price or Hotwire you can't choose a specific hotel, just an area and a star rating but anything in downtown Minneapolis should be walking distance from Target Field at that time of year. That's also non-refundable as well unless you pay extra for "insurance" (which doesn't include you just deciding to cancel because you want to).

Downtown Minneapolis is easily walkable all year long #skyways
