Odd, there's other things to do in life. Crazy isn't it.

Yeah I keep forgetting that high school sports and personal conflicts were invented in the last two years and hence wouldn't have affected attendance when we were selling out 2011-2018.

It would be interesting to see the demographics of season ticket holders. Is that part of the decline that people are busier? I have a kid in high school football now, it makes for a busy weekend to do Friday Night Lights followed up by a trip to Fargo for a game. I am sure NDSU understands all of this however.

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

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.

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.

well 70% goes to the NCAA so i guess we are both in the same boat StevDock. have a good day

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.

I wonder how many work, sports schedules have been adjusted over the years due to potential Bison games (and yes there have been some because I've personally seen it). Hopefully everyone can see that this week's schedule is drastically different than every other year.
