    I think getting blocks of open seats together would be a more beneficial result of reseating than anything else. All the talk about beer, metal detectors, competition, concessions, etc are trumped by one thing: price. If they can get big chunks of open seats they could go back to GA seating, perhaps in the double letter endzone rows, to get lower price points for people who are/have been priced out. That would also open up some promotional possibilities like family or large group packs.

    Its called life. Not everyone can stay a high strung balls to wall fan. Priorities and interests change. I get it.

    No need to worry about me, other than if I start to pay for transfer portal players. Gone if so.

    Plus, and understand this Pat, most here do not invest like we do, they just reap the benefits of us. Typical these days on many levels.

    In my ideal world, we’d announce within the month that we’re going to reseat after the 2022 season, with recent attendance being a factor in priority. Should boost 2022 attendance. Publish new seating blocks with dues, with wet/dry sections being assigned based on demand. Let people put in their preference online and set the math nerds loose on the puzzle.
    Sounds great to me. Being able to get a block of contiguous seats in a "wet" section would be a nice improvement.

    They do need to enhance/improve the fargo dome a bit also to make it a first class experience. Beer, wifi, improved rest rooms and food would go a long ways to make it seem worth the prices charged. Bringing in some new OOC teams might help also.

    Concert promoters wanted them. NDSU did not have to use them. But given the million a year they are losing in ticket revenue in the regular season alone, seems counter productive
