Attendance

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.

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.

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"

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.

OK. The athletic department netted $400,000 on last years swap. I'll believe it when season tickets become available on the open market again.

Having students fill their allotment is the ideal situation.

If they don't, they don't need anything in return for it being further reduced. Use it or lose it. Their fees are already amongst the lowest by comparison.

Won't someone think of the bored kids?

I don't see them filling the SHAC to see all that exciting basketball not winning.

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.)

As I posted in a BB thread, watching the Bison football team lead by 30 at halftime is certainly preferable to watching the men's basketball team losing by 30 at halftime, but neither scenario is reflective of a competitive game. Both scenarios involve a superior team playing a significantly inferior one. The solution for one scenario involves a change in leadership. The solution for the other scenario involves a change in competition.

To me its appalling that students don't show up. Where's the pride and unconditional support for the team. The players and coaches have done so much for decades and you can't show up because you are bored? I don't think they are bored. I think they are selfish. The Team deserves better.

Selfish? Unconditional support? What the hell are you talking about lmao.

Marlette calls out students for not filling their section.

students are the people pouring your drinks and waiting your tables after the game. You want students to show up, maybe lets go back to the good old days when you didn't have to work 30 hours a week just to cover tuition
