If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"
When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
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.
"The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
1) increase ticket prices for football by 30%. Since demand exceeds supply this will be no problem.
2) increase teammakers' donations by 15%.
3) increase our TV and radio revenue by 50%. Our contracts with KVLY and KFGO are a joke. We are a regional brand. Not a ND brand.
4) our share of our new conference tv contract should also offset many of our expenses.
5) Revenue from our 1 to 2 Big 5 conference away games.
1. it'll increase by more than 30% when grandpa's sitting in row 3 40 yard line pay $200 for 6 game tickets into $1200 for 6 games
2. $2.4 million into $10 million is 400%
3. TV/Radio should triple, and ADD FOX SPORTS NORTH... and BARTER out 10 Commercials/per game at $1000/game.
4. MWC/MAC TV contracts give $750000-$1 per university
5. Absolutely
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

Also, I don't think it would be wise to increase prices like this at this time. I am not so sure we have the perceived demand that would tolerate these added costs to going to watch a football game. Were we not just earlier this week talking about some people 'getting bored' with watching NDSU football (whether it's the students, or season ticket holders, or whatever) and I personally noticed empty seats throughout the dome last weekend, not just the students...and GA tickets have gone unsold last week it seems. Not necessarily saying this is gonna be a trend.
However, when we have football seasons not as successful as the previous three have been, it's just possible that the demand will decrease...maybe even abruptly. In fact, we might even wish that we hadn't kicked all those 'grandpas and grandmas' out of the dome to make room for the 'high-rollers' paying the big bucks...cause they might just jump off the bandwagon.
With things like student ticket allotment, season ticket holders, teammaker dues, and things such as these we should make any changes very carefully IMO.

You are only adding approx 40.00 to youre season tickets. Or 6.66666666 a game. Still cheap as high profile tickets go for. It would add what 3/4 of a million in revenue. Still a very long way to what is needed.
And yes there were many many seats empty through the whole dome.
