I've been in KAB's camp all along that recruitment needs to really step it up. Buddy up to potential big dollar donors and simple mailings right after, 1 year after and five years after to all graduates. At $100/yr it doesn't seem out of line that there should be 10,000 TMs.
    There's only three sections with $100 TM dues. All about between the 10 and 20 yd line. It's only the top third or so in each section. Double it if you want to sit in the bottom 2/3. Bison ticket office site has a chart that shows all this. I don't know how to post it on this mobile device

    Ok so I just looked it up. No offense to Mr. Simmers and those involved but one page on the GoBison.com page telling those interested to contact the ticket office or Mr. Simmers by email is pretty poor. At the very least they could have a form that someone interested could fill out and have someone contact the interested individual. It's 2014, one page basically going over legalities just doesn't cut it. I don't know what kind of manpower they have but I'm sorry it needs to be stepped up.

    Yeah I found the seating chart, which at this point is kind of pointless because there are no football seats to be had. So I guess there are two pages, the Seating Chart and then the actual TeamMakers page which goes over 50/50 and corporate matches or somthing to that effect. Why is there no information showing what kind of things TeamMakers donations go towards. A place online to sign up. They really aren't selling the product IMO. Isn't there like lunches and auctions and stuff like that members are invited to? My mom is a TM and season ticket holder but I've never really asked her. Just kind of curious about this stuff and my guess is there are more 25-35 year olds out there in my shoes. We like to find information on the internet. The information isn't there.

    The annual donation level for each area of season tickets is posted at:

    It's OK to not be OK.

    There is a drop down under TM and there is a membership blank (you can donate online), a page with little bison heads telling what you get at each level, members list, and other things
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    My bad I was too anxious and clicking before the drop down appeared.

    If the wife is okay with it I wouldn't mind. Anyone familiar with Dave Ramsey's FPU this would count in the tithing portion, right?

    Waiting list is already established. Its called the priority points list. Next man up gets them unless somebody drops a HUGE and I mean HUGE amount of cash.
    Suites--thats a dome thing. NDSU gets nothing from them I have been told.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
