    Plus how many people out of the season tix holders does that decision come to the for thought?

    Well, at a minimum it’s a reality for these 570 odd new seats. And even if you paid for 18 before Jan 1 you know what’s coming next year and here’s a chance to make an adjustment if that is what you want to do.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I think there will be a fair share of season ticket holder‘s who may request to move to lower rows. It will all depend on their # if p pts.

    I agree with this. I have a nephew that is the same as above. Pretty upset with this. Him and his buddies won't stop coming to games but this is kind of a kick in the nuts to some of the students who are regulars to all games. I'm a little torn on it, understand the move but it definitely could have been communicated a little better.

    Those are the students most affected, not the students who just show up for the social aspect or don't go at all. Unfortunate and I think they should have worked with the students a little.

    The AD worked with the student government body on this. What do you want a UND committee? They still have more than enoigh seat. The avid student fan will still have better seats than me.

    Did you not read everything so far? They did work with the students. Student fees were negotiated, SRO was negotiated, and for a student body who does not consistently show up, they were very well taken care of. In terms of total numbers, not a single loss for the students.

    I am all about the students when it comes to college events, but this is a win/win. Not only was this communicated with the students, the students participated in this every step of the way.

    I did a pretty poor job apparently

    I just meant in regards to having some of the lower rows for the students that do show up early and wait in line for hours to get good seats.
