2019 Summit League Tournament

[HerdBot]

Show up. The tourney is annually in the top 10 in attendance. NDSU earns revenue from it and gets exposure even though no one in green shows up. Move it to Minneapolis and Bison fans will still find a reason not to go. I live 15 hours from Sioux Falls, my guess is I've been to more tourneys then you, even when SDSU were not a 1 or 2 seed.

When you dont have to take a week off of work, get hotels for the week, and drive in a seemingly annual blizzard, well then pack the house. Huge advantage to the 2 and soon to be 3 south Dakota schools where you can just drive 15 minutes to the game after work

That would be nice. But the question with that is where do we have it here? Scheels Arena could be a possibility but that size seems like it would be better for a D-2 tournament. The dome is awful for basketball.

Yeah, Fago has no venue that can compete with the SF arena, the tournament shouldn't be here. Maybe if we got a new dome that had a better hoops setup but that isn't happening anytime soon.

Also to jacksfan, I want to add that the vast majority of the fans there are either SF residents or live a short drive away. I stay in the hotels, it isn't hard to get a feel for the amount of fans that are coming in from far off and it isn't that big. If Douple made it a prioirty to change the dates the tournament could be a bigger deal but from what I gathered when I asked some media people a few questions it doesn't seem like he gives a single damn about making any changes.

I think if the league worked to make it more travel friendly other schools would have a bigger investment in having it in SF, which would be better for the league long term.

Would be no problem for a fanbase that cared about basketball. NDSU not a basketball school in any way. It's ok.

boy this stinks so hard to get decent tickets usually unless you pay up for in the secondary market.

As I mentioned before just come join us in the student section, we all know students don't actually use it so my group will be there in the front row just like we have been for the last 10 years.

but like the great Denny Green-----WE ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE----an average team with poor coaching but some potential talent that needs to be untapped

This is the best way to put it. A lot of potential, but also needs to get tougher defensively.
