This is what the real issue was. There’s 19,300ish for total capacity. The students are counted in that, however they dong get tickets, they simply show their ID at the gate, first come first serve (though I doubt we’ve turned any away yet). So when it comes to a sell out, they don’t really count since we can’t sell unused tickets like you do. They do count towards butts in seats count though. The student section was probably 1,000 short, and then the top corner of the SE side was missing a couple hundred. Also, some season ticket holders have the option of watching from the Dykehouse SA center to the north. When they watch from there they don’t count towards attendance. So that’s another 100 (though some people claim 300). Overall the stadium was pretty damn full outside of the student section. Unless you want to take a picture from the first quarter or halftime when people weren’t in their seats. However, I do have this photo (if it loads from tapatalk right).
On the people getting F bombs screamed at them. I have no doubt that happened. Is it classy or something I appreciate? No. Not at all. However the bison fan I went with got a hug from the lady across the aisle and a I know how bad it sucks to lose. To piggyback onto that though, if you lose at the opponents place and feel the need to shout “can’t wait till you have to come to Fargo in the playoffs” then maybe you asked for it a bit too. Still not OK. And that cop in your lot was a douche. The end. It was a fun game.
