I fully agree with this notion...reducing student section size only makes it harder to get student tickets which, in turn, means even less students will try. This notion of treating students as lower class fans started when the FargoDome opened and they were relegated to the corner end zone. Instead of physical tickets for $6 at the Student Union, students will jump all over a ticketing app. Is that lazy? Maybe, but that is the way folks are being trained. Heck, WalMart and McDonalds let you order via app and do the work of shopping or carrying the food for you (unless you go inside in which case you get to be the counter person or the cashier). As far as the age of the fans, it sure looks already like senior citizens are the bulk of the crowd judging by the amount of gray hair I see on the TV. Of course, they are the ones that can afford the good season ticket seats and just as many of those great sideline seats are empty early as is the student section.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

I think the students should receive the same PHONE message that I just rec'd! Love the VOICE on this guy.... GET YOUR TICKETS - RAISE THE BAR! I think it's cool!

Another basketball tournament...
Asked the boy, he understands the importance of supporting the 2018 Bison fortunately.
The people who are wishing for the type of ticket demand we had at the beginning of our play-off run need to take into account not only the changes in the attitude of students, but also the availability of the games on every web connected device and, for most games, every TV statewide. There are probably 25-30 big screens less than 300 feet from the entrance to the Fargodome that provide viewing opportunities combined with adult beverage and food service. Some people have less need to "be there" when viewing in a less regulated social setting satisfies them. Live your life, peeps, and let others live theirs.....
Damn, I'm Good!
