Even UCA drew 6,243 in the 2017 2nd round... only 5,127 this year. In 2017 with the exact same 2nd round opponent SDSU drew 7,815... only 4,102 this year.
NDSU actually came the closest, percentage wise, of any team hosting this weekend to their regular season average. 15,690 was 86.3% of the regular season average of 18,177.
Maybe our fans are actually less apathetic than fans elsewhere despite the "boring" games???
