    25 days to game day!

    As of right now there's only 1,328 tickets left for sale through the Twins website but they haven't opened up tickets in the 3rd deck down the 1st base line (sections 301-305) or in the 2nd and 3rd decks in left field since I'm assuming they have an obstructed view of the near endzone from there.

    Still I would guess they're at around 33-35k tickets sold at this point.

    The fact that there will be 35,000+ for a game against Butler 3.5 hours from home is pretty damn amazing!

    if NDSU was playing a Power 5 team at US Bank Stadium, it would sell out the place.
    especially if it was a midwest Power 5 (iowa st, K state, etc)

    NDSU could fill 35,000-40,000 seat stadium in fargo easily, upper deck seating with $0 donation attached @ $20/seat. easily.
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

    No way this happens with all the low-rated recruits we're getting. Insert your favorite facepalm here.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    Yep, Chappy you are correct, but the small time thinkers just can't envision anything bigger for Bison football than a 19,000 seat stadium and FCS forever. They love stagnation because it's the easy thing to do. And those is power positions don't want to risk anything. Just keep patting themselves on the back for doing nothing.

    Typical response from the D2 crowd.

    Correct, lol. "In a fantasy world, Its reasonable to assume we could get X amount of fans"

    D2 crowd: "NOoooo! There is literally no way we could attract 1 more fan than what we are already attracting. No one would be excited to play bigger programs, and besides, you personally dont have $200M in your personal checking account, so there is no way that money could be raised. Its actually impossible. No one has ever done it or ever could do it, so go F*ck yourselves"

    This of course, does not mean I am suggesting jump to FBS at all costs, but many BVers ignore an insane amount of data/reality to pretend there is NO basis, NO evidence, and NO support, to suggest we could support an FBS program.

    We ALL agree that money is a crazy huge, un-ignorable (and ever growing) obstacle, and equally so, a conference invite. But that does not negate the reality that out of all of the teams to have ever make the jump (or consider making the jump), we, by far have the best infrastructure to do it successfully. a little nuance on this issue would go a hell of a long way.
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS
