Attendance

I think that might only be for the playoffs where they have a physical ticket they pickup.

They went to digital tickets my sophomore year in 2011. Playoff tickets still required you to go purchase one in person. I didn't find it to be a significant barrier, we could go to either the BSA or the Union. Still think it's dumb to have separate policies for regular season vs. playoffs.

We would not be going if the quarterfinal was on Friday night. It's hard to save all the weekend dates in December for playoff games.

Maybe now that people saw all the available seats, word will get out that you can actually buy seats if you're not lazy and it will bring in some new folks.

I like the app idea for the students.

Now that I've moved I'll probably only make 2 games or so each year, which means I'm watching on TV. I have to say, it sure is nice to have a beer as I watch.

Convenience of watching on TV is the biggest reason people aren't going to the games. Take the TV option out, and attendance will go back up.

Disagree. It’s not at all hard. “I have an unbreakable commitment for every weekend this month so unless your funeral is during one of those specific days, AND I respect/love you enough to be there, I’ll be otherwise occupied.

Yep. give up the TV to get that extra 1700 people into the building.

Meanwhile, fuck the rest of us that don't live in Fargo, right?

And in reality people would slowly become fans of the teams they could stay home and watch on TV.

I get the gist of the post, TV viewing has gotten so good it is impacting every level of every sport and movies etc. But it has also created a population of people who would rather find do etching to watch on TV than go to an event.

I assume in some messed up hypothetical future where we torpedoed our own TV contract, we could probably figure out a TV blackout setup that doesn’t affect national viewers

Or even outstate viewers. FM area alone should be able to fill up the dome.

yeah, I'm sure it would involve Neulion

So screw the nearly quarter-million people in the metro area to get another 1700 in the dome? No PR nightmare there....
