    Yeah but your history class was much easier because there was so much less of it. LOL I kid, I kid

    They are paying for those seats through their fees. If they don’t want to go, fine.
    Resell them and move on.
    But, they do need to make it clear, even back in August, that seats go on sale through out the season. They need to find a way to not use the words sold out until it truly is sold out

    Quoted for truth.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    LAW OF DECREASING MARGINAL UTILITY

    all things being equal- The 7th championship drive will inherently create less interest than the first. Die-hards are essentially immune to this, but new fans (Students) are not.

    I'm not excusing their lack of enthusiasm, but this phenomenon can be seen in almost every aspect of life.

    The first iphone had RIDICULOUS hype. the Iphone 10 didn't, even though its vastly more impressive than the original etc.
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    People still lined up to buy it though. Bars in Frisco will still be full, the tailgate lot will still be as full as it can be, they will still sell out of season tickets.

    Yes, it would work like magic. If there was a blackout in the FM area the place would sell out instantly and then the blackout would be lifted. Not rocket science.

    How hard is it to drive across town and buy a ticket to go to the game?

    The current unsold tickets are from the student allotment. All seats in the dome that were for sale on opening day are sold. There wouldn't be a blackout even if that was a thing.

    Totally agree 100%. Im just saying that's why studetns dont seem to be as enthusiastic as before. Die hards are immune IMO. Single game tix still sell out in mere moments etc.
