I accept I should have gotten seats long ago when plentiful. Oh well.

    With that said, a silver lining has appeared that I don't see others mentioning. We will have another entire section with the possibility of secondary ticket sales. I'm guessing that that the combination of NDSU winning apathy and more seats on the secondary market will work to drive down secondary ticket prices. That will end up being a good thing for folks like me and many others. I'll take what I can get when tickets go on sale, but I'll never buy a SRO ticket again. I've had good luck the last few seasons buying close to game time and will continue to do so.
    if your in the tailgate lot at kickoff, and active in looking for a seat you will get in, I was handed 3 seats for free last year and only wanted 1 for a friend, they wanted me to deal with them

    Depends what you mean by hard. If you chose to do that in August of 2011, yep it was easy. Of course if you wanted scattered single game tickets or standing room a few weeks before the game..sure. Now back in 2007, you could get tickets a few days before a game but still sold out most games in advance.

    And if anyone thinks wandering around the tailgate lot is easy... well maybe for hardcore fans. In the modern world, students are too lazy to go to the shac to get tickets so seeking them out isnt easy

    Whatever dude. I did it every week. The first time I got seats that I didn't like was UNI 2012. I wasn't buying singles and I wasn't buying weeks in advance.

    Are you living in some type of time warp? Tickets didnt get hard to get till after the first natty. Even after that you could still get them. By the second and third though it got tight.

    I was thinking 2012, not 2011. I went back and checked 2011 because I'm a nerd.

    2011 Season
    Youngstown State
    Illinois State
    Northern Iowa
    All sold out in advance. Some a few days before, others a week before. That's half the regular season home games.

    Misery State (Deer opener) sold out all sideline tickets, general admission remained. Could have bought an endzone GA or returned visitor ticket the day of

    Lafayette and Saint Francis didnt sell out because they were Lafayette and Saint Francis but still some good crowds. Sideline reserved were sold out of Lafayette but you could have bought an endzone GA or visitor returned ticket the day of.

    But 3 of the 4 home conference games sold out in advance and I think the 3 playoff games sold out so that would have been 6 sellouts

    Not as good as I remember you couldnt just buy tickets the day of in 2011. Well maybe the non conference games or Misery State you could

    2012 was just nuts.

    Still a favorite of mine... even after all these years. Oh how times have changed. Poor Virg, little did he know how wrong he would be.


    Grand Forks Herald article written by Virg Foss (UND hockey analyst) on Dec. 1, 2010

    There comes a time in life when years of bickering, boasting and belittling between fanatical fans of the UND Fighting Sioux and NDSU Bison can be settled in a day. It happened last Saturday in fact.

    Amid much hoopla and rejoicing in Fargo, the Bison finally got to play their first football playoff game ever in the Fargodome.
    You couldn’t dial in a Fargo radio station all week without being besieged with commercials imploring fans to back the Bison. The 18-year-old drought without a single playoff game in the Fargodome finally ended. Bison strong. Be there. Be herd, the ads said.

    In a dome seating more than 18,000 for football, a paltry 12,000 plus change showed up for the Bison game against Robert Morris last Saturday night.

    That night in Grand Forks, 11,742 fans — a hundred over official capacity — showed up at Ralph Engelstad Arena for the nonconference hockey game between the Fighting Sioux and Notre Dame.

    There were ready-made excuses to be had in both cities. Classes were not in session at either school. It was Thanksgiving weekend. People were gone. Yet 6,000 fans showed up in the Fargodome dressed as empty seats. Up I-29 in Grand Forks, there were people outside one of the world’s greatest rinks trying to buy any extra tickets. It was a hot topic of discussion in a group of friends I’ve met with outside the rink between periods for years now.

    Bison fans have been waiting nearly two decades for a playoff game in the Fargodome. Yet when one came along, one-third of them — 6,000 — didn’t show up.

    Where were they? “They are up here watching Sioux hockey,” quipped one of the fellows in our group gathering outside that night. Zing. It’s true; there’s a steady stream of cars heading from Fargo and points between to Grand Forks on nights Sioux hockey plays at home.

    I’ve heard from Bison fans for years that Sioux hockey is nothing but a niche sport on a national scale. Yet there isn’t an athletic program in the state that draws the national spotlight as does Sioux hockey, on radio, TV or printed press.

    Bison fans rightfully are proud of their football success over the years at the NCAA Division II level. At the Division I level, the Bison have not won a conference football title, let alone a national championship.

    There are seven Division I national championship banners hanging in Ralph Engelstad Arena. There are 14 WCHA pennants, too, as winners of the strongest league in the land.

    It’s the truth that NDSU never will have an athletic program in any sport to rival the prestige and success of Sioux hockey. For a school and city that like to think of themselves as bigger and better, that hurts. Always has. Always will.

    Nov. 27, 2010, will go down in history as the day the drawing power of Sioux hockey and Bison football was put to the test, head-to-head. It was no contest. So to those Bison fans who bash and belittle Sioux hockey?

    Just shut up.

    And what a difference 8 years makes.

    This quote is particularly rich. Someone should hang it in the SHAC somewhere.

    "It’s the truth that NDSU never will have an athletic program in any sport to rival the prestige and success of Sioux hockey. For a school and city that like to think of themselves as bigger and better,* that hurts. Always has. Always will."

    Talk about ‘arrogance’ (whioux fans like to throw that word around a lot these days).

    And who the hell is “Virg Foss”? Never heard of him.

    *That’s because we are
