500 tickets available is a lot. Everyone in line got tickets but one person. That is a lot different than last time it was in Fargo. Hoping the crowd is the same though.
The unsold tickets from the other teams went on sale only at the arena. The line started the night before the doors opened. The line was about 5 times longer than the amount of tickets available (had to be there by 2 am).
Wonder how much Jones thinks he worth now..."I had the most people watching a UND sporting event ever and the women's hockey coach makes way more than me?!"
Last time it was at Fargo Billiards a few blocks away.
Not sure if it'll still be there again. My group walked to Pub West last time after the game to avoid waiting for the bus back. There is a few establishments within easy walking distance.
I don't think it helps that the tournament will no longer have another large passionate fan base that competes with North Dakota. That was part of the mystique. There will never be UND Frozen Faceoff game with an impartial crowd ever again.
I think that's taking the man's statement a little far. The tournament isn't going to move because of food prices or quality but only if it makes financial sense.
