IDK who was going nuts about selling out. It certainly wasn't me but we do have a higher attendance than NDSU (21k+ average) but we have a larger stadium than NDSU as well. I'd love to see how many you guys could actually get if you had the capacity. 25k? As far as the videoboard it is over 1,400 sq ft so the size of a small-medium size house. That's good for 4th in FCS behind you, SDSU, and Jackson State. Noticeably above FBS schools like Florida State, SMU, Louisville, ALABAMA.
That's our capacity right now that we hit maybe 2-3 times a year. Having the Friday night game last night really killed attendance, even though we had 18k there. The Saturday slot would've guaranteed a sellout. I had people who haven't been back on campus in 5+ years texting and calling me about the game and how they wished they could make it. Our alumni base is primarily in DC, Richmond, Tidewater area of VA (2-3 hours, 2 hours, 3-4 hours away), hard to make that if your employer won't let you off.
Our boards are better than yours ... and our dads can beat up your dads too! (That is if you have any )
