Get Hockey to NDSU thread

I thought that the corner seats in the double attack end were supposed to be the premium location anyway. I imagine the empties were bought early by UND boosters who didn’t resell them because they’re bad at economics.

Weird that there were 4 whole rows of good seats empty while the less good seats appear pretty full.

Is that how it works? I just assumed it was like basketball and football where you want to sit in the middle but that the double attack thing makes sense.

They didn't get resold because they were paper tickets that there was only a small window to pick up before they were sent to Fargo and sitting at will call the day of the game. Assuming it was that way to keep them in the hands of boosters and prevent a huge secondary market because almost everything else is digital.
Disappointing though, was hoping to pick up some extra cheap ones.
Those that did make it to the secondary market went for good prices.

What is a paper ticket? jk Who’s running this thing Fred Flintstone?

The guy hates hockey but he sure seems to follow it. Remember him telling me on the old kfan rube chat that Bison basketball will out draw UND hockey since they went D1. I laughed and still do

The end of Rubechat was the death of KFAn.

I don't disagree. Being there is such limited seating, they wanted to prevent those with more priority points buying extra tickets just to flip them and instead giving more people a chance to get a few.
See both sides of it. This is their fourth go-around at it so assuming there is actual reasoning to cause themselves more work.

The ratings for KFAN would disagree.

I'd rather we have NDSU professional cornhole.

And not the type they have at SDSU.

I must spread some rep before giving it to Kevin again.

I grew up playing hockey through high school. I do love the game. It does not make sense for NDSU to have it. Niche sport at the college level that is more expensive than it is profitable. Hard Pass.

I was under the impression that hockey had a ton of parity nowadays but in these 7 games we've had teams score 8 goals twice and 9 goals once.
