Sometime during Q4 the video with the most upvotes is chosen as the winner of something a student would highly value, like uh, cash.
    Either that or do a live Squid Games competition for the 50/50 raffle money. Although after a couple seasons all the death may catch up in the attendance numbers.

    It's been mentioned a couple times now about somehow showing other games on the screens.

    I think it would be a great addition to the GameDay environment to have highlights of other FCS games pop up from time to time on the corner screens or at the right times on the big screens.

    It would take a dedicated person or two trying to pay attention to a handful of games that bison fans care about(maybe just conference teams), being able to grab a clip from whatever stream they have or maybe monitor other teams Twitter if they post big plays, and then get them to whoever is producing the video boards.

    I don't think it's a simple task but I would think if you out a few heads together they could figure out how to make it work well consistently.

    I'd love that, but there may be some legal issues with "rebroadcasting" in the dome.

    Not 100% sure.

    Yep for sure there are more than just technical obstacles.

    There are other factors or course, but this explains why we were sold out to the rafters for our first playoff game against Wofford, but less and less each time after.
    This seems more like the hedonistic treadmill than diminishing marginal utility.

    Just reported on the news tonight that there are still tickets available for the "The Game" in Michigan Saturday.

    Guess it's Wolverine fatigue.

    I wonder how much the inability to get tickets for a few years affects attendance today. My dad always just walked up to the ticket window when I was a kid and we got in without problems. There’s a few years of kids who didn’t get that experience. Maybe no impact whatsoever, but I am curious. I can’t even give my unused tickets to family anymore. Thankfully I was reminded of Fanettes donations toward the end of this year.
