well yea. from 2009-2013 during the initial PARTY SCENE of the run, alot of tailgaters/fans were 25-40 range. now they are 35-50 with families and kids and jobs and stuff going on, it is what it is.
but then again Sports & Xmas Parties & Family Xmas parties were here in 2009-2013 too, hmmm what could of possibly changed.....
168 - 13 complete domination of a division that NDSU clearly doesn't belong in.. but i'll save that for the FBS better thread.
in 2013 I would walk around tailgate & dome and know 1000's of people, i did it last 2 games. poof none of those people are here and I know dam well they are huge NDSU fans but they know what's up
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
just checking ticket page. NOTHING has been sold since 8am wed when they opened up. I see 4-5 sections of 15-20 seats sold.
my gawd.
233,000 Fargo Population? and we are looking at under 10,000 1 week after 12,400 for Montana.
staying put is costing us $250k/game in potential revenue.

Looking good Billy Ray!
Ok first of all and most importantly for this post, if we moved up we wouldn't have a game tomorrow. So staying put is actually making NDSU money this week. How much? I have no idea, but it is more than if we were FBS. Last week we probably would not have had a home game, so another money maker. Next week I think we have another great chance at a home game. FBS definitely not. So 3 strikes and you're out for this post.
I'm all for an FBS move, but playoff time and playoff attendance is not the reason to bring it up.
Lower the ticket prices to meet the demand and it'll sell out. And also pay for the student tix, as they are a big part of NDSU's future ticket buying base. Even if you get a handful of them interested.
