When will Matt Larsen contact someone from the FBS about NDSU moving up?

It's one thing to be interested in season tickets, it's another to be interested in paying for them.

You needs lots of real people with lots of real money in order to build something to accommodate all these hypothetical season ticket holders.

^^^absolutely the post of the day. Finally someone who gets it. It's one thing to want something and expect it for free. It's a whole different game when you need thousands to pay serious bucks for it.

I heard a couple years ago there were upwards of 7000 season ticket requests above the 12,000 to 13,000 currently sold. I am sure there is some overlap, but safe to say about 5,000 are legit. Even if 1000 of those are current single game purchasers that would mean 4000 over current sold out attendance of 19,000. Too bad there isn't an option for expansion or any plans for a new stadium. So shortsighted to thwart growth of a fan base to keep a small stadium forever. Its not like adding seats to maxed out venues of 100,000 plus where fan experience is from a distance.

I think youre pretty close on the 4k number. Or it was something like 2-3k and the avg request was 2-4 tickets??????

The frustrating part is that the gap will continue to increase. There are people graduating every year that have no chance to become season ticket holders. I graduated in 2010, could I have gotten season tickets at that time? Sure. But at that time I didn't know where my career was going to take me. I didn't know what my family situation was going to be. Now that those things are starting become a lot clearer I just need to find a time machine to go back to the to pick up the number of tickets I need.

This is real

Yeah. Just think, the students during the recent run have basically no chance at season tickets for the foreseeable future.

Yeah but the D2 powers want to keep things small.

Thank goodness we arent in D2 anymore.

Too bad there are still a bunch of D2 turds plugging the toilet.

Are we just complaining about stadium capacity, or does anyone have a proposal to build something new and pay for it?

Expansion options presented two years ago would only add 1,200 seats (http://www.inforum.com/news/3661180-...00-215-million). Cheaper, but just guessing that wouldn't be sufficient.

Colorado State just built an outdoor stadium; 36,500 seats, 41,000 capacity. Wouldn't have to be that big, but may need a roof depending on who you talk to. Of course, we would need a place to put it and probably wouldn't be happy doing everything on the cheap. Cost them $220 million, financed with bonds that sold out in 90 minutes, no state funding according to website. CSU also has 37,000 students, so approximately 3 times the number of new alumni every year.

Is raising anything close to that amount possible at NDSU?

What would be a reasonable goal for seating/ capacity?
