Is it unrealistic to try and sell out Target Field? I would think fans would show up in droves for this game. What is the capacity there?

I believe the Alumni Association feels there are ~ 10k of us alums down here - many of whom no doubt own lake homes and will be drawn to those on the last three day weekend of the all too short summer. I sold mine though so I’ll be at Target Field. Had I not sold it I would have been at the lake.

It's going to take a lot to convince me that's not the point of this game. They've given NDSU fans a game in early season weather, at an easily drive able location from Fargo, in a stadium where capacity should be unconstrained for us and on a long weekend so most shouldn't have work as an excuse even though we'll lose some because of the holiday as well. This is going to be as good of a study in what the demand for NDSU football really is as we can get, and if you don't think it will be a big data point in any future stadium or FBS considerations, you're dead wrong.
Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.
A 2:30 kickoff home game for me generally means leave Minneapolis between 8:00 and 8:30, get to Fargo by noon, tailgate, watch the game, drive home, and have the kids in bed by 8:30 or 9:00. There is no reason anyone in lake country can't do the same here and still have the rest of their weekend at the lake.
