    From last year: "The Gophers announced a crowd of 41,291 for their opener against New Mexico State, for example, but the number of scanned tickets was 20,218."

    They might have a higher announced attendance. But an 8pm Thursday night kickoff against a lowly FCS school, I doubt they have more butts in the seats than Target Field on Saturday.

    Tough to say. Many of the bison ticket sales may be for scalpers who end up eating them too.

    Gophers have $199 season tickets. THey are GIVING away seats for this one. ten bucks. Doing their best. NDSU will bring 35 to 40 and paying full price. Crazy. Going to be a unique and fun atmosphere. Thankfully NDSU was thinking outside the box on this one as it will end up being larger take home than any FBS game.
    Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.

    If you decide to go at the last minute... tickets are still available for $20 each, pretty cheap compared to the dome. The cheap price should help offset travel costs. Once in a while they make some better seats available.

    NO it WONT!

    NDSU isn't getting money from Tickets or Concessions (I didn't know about the tickets, but 10000% concessions going to Twins, NDSU gets 0 take of it... which was horrible negiotiating.)

    Twins made $2 MILLION off St Johns/St Thomas, they'll make $5 Million off NDSU game.... Pohlads are greedy bastads.
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

    It is their $550M stadium the game is being played in and they are paying Butler's guarantee.

    NDSU's payout is dependent on ticket sales. According to Kolpack's article from October 2016 that can be as high as $600K: https://www.inforum.com/sports/41435...r-target-field

    The Twins are taking over NDSU’s guarantee of $185,000 to Butler plus paying NDSU up to $600,000 based on attendance, Larsen said.

    Ill correct myself. NDSU, the school doesn't get any money from this, just Athletic program.

    Twins will make a ton...5 million probably

    You need to get better sources. Congrats to NDSU for making this quite an event. Lot of money coming back to Fargo. Drink of Bison fans!!!!
