Would we ever do a non-conference game against a Mvfc team (ie play them twice) - could see uni or sdsu selling well.

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.

Plus, they would want a cut of the gate or a larger contract. This is designed by NDSU for NDSU.
App St. or Georgia Southern would be cool, but they would require a huge contract. This will likely be an eastern FCS team out of our footprint. They even hinted at it in the article basically stating the opponent won't matter. It'll be an FCS cupcake team.
If it's an FCS Cupcake team, it's going to be an average turnout. An average turnout is not impressive and goes against the whole reasoning for doing it. Not going to wow recruits by bringing them to a ho hum game that has no energy , half capacity, and is empty by halftime.
Now if we can sell 40k tickets and have an amazing atmosphere and put on a great show... That would be awesome.

It will sell out.
Hint, the 19000 fans in Fargo aren't the same 19000 fans on Frisco. Maybe a 50% overlap. This type of spectacle would tap into both groups. A great opponent would be gravy.

Your not actually comparing fans who travel from sub zero Fargo to Frisco Texas for the National Championship in January to fans who will drive to watch us beat Austin Peay in Minnesota.
The USD game in Sioux Falls drew 9269 And at least a quarter of those fans were USD fans... And the stadium wasn't sold out. Fans knew it would be a boring blowout so we had a whopping 6k fans, if that, drive 3 hours to Sioux Falls.
I think Matt Larson is totally over estimating our fan base. They travel for good games. Key word good games.

And you don't think the number of NDSU Alum/Fans that live in the Minneapolis Metro dwarf the numbers in Sioux Falls? Poor comparison. Also that game was a USD home game and they held it there to boost their athletics not us. I don't really care that much one way of the other, but if the Target Field game happens there will be 25K+ NDSU fans there.
