Attendance

[02Bison]

Was anyone else disappointed with the attendance for yesterday's game? Southwest corner was basically empty.

Looks like the Fargodome is precisely the right size.

It will be jammed again in 2 weeks when the Rabbits come to town for the Championship game.

Looks like to me they didn't cut the student ticket numbers enough, if that is the level of support they are going to give the program.

I can see another section reduction coming their way.

Not without a reduction in student fees I would suspect.

Instead of selling those tickets to more knitters, perhaps they should try to figure out why students are disengaging. The program is not sustainable without student support.

Already among the lowest student fees, consider it a "slight increase".

Also, student support is exactly what we're talking about. Half of it is gone because they're "bored"

I just don't understand why it was so hard to get more season tickets last winter. Didn't even get a phone call yet I end up with a bobcat sitting in front of me for the playoffs and a half empty student section. Yeah I could purchase tickets but it would be nice to have season seats for the entire family together. My 2 year old cheers louder then some regulars. That's what is really frustrating.

[bisonp]

Yeah, I think we're doing OK

NDSU 90.95%
Weber 51.59%
UC Davis 77.32%
Colgate 62.79%
Maine 61.45%
EWU 61.05%
Kennesaw 42.26%
SDSU 15.73%

We may be doing "OK", but FCS football is not, and it's starting to impact us too.

It's irrelevant how low the fees are. They probably aren't going to give up seats without getting something in return. And there's no need to put quotes around bored, it's true. This season was a snooze fest.

Yes, the seats from K to KK were available. It will be interesting to see which section they open up to season ticket holders (or future season ticket holders.)

(And yes, for the ppl who are bored of winning, I agree.... tell them to go to bb games.)
