Team has been looking good lately especially against good conference competition.
Jones usually has the boys playing their best basketball at the end of the season.
Sent a snapchat to about 12 people of the countdown timer saying I'm ready to buy tickets...6 people snapped me back the same thing.
Demand for this game is through the roof. As someone said probably greatest demand ticket in the history of UND hockey.
With that said, I don't see them switching arenas.
Approximately 7,000 champions clubs members bought tickets. How many UND fans that weren't members wanted to go 3-5,000?
That apparently leaves zero fans from one of the largest fan bases in college hockey wanting to go see a rivalry game in Vegas.
The fact was it is so far in the future was also great giving plenty of time for everyone to plan and save, but looks like it could be held tomorrow now.
Had no desire to see NYC: expensive, overcrowded, and the main thing to do is stare at tall buildings.
And by the looks of my friends trying to buy Vegas tickets but not NYC, they agreed.
Yes it easily justifies the costs.
UND doesn't lose money on 10,000 people in the arena. at $100 that a $1,000,000.
Renting the arena is less than $100,000.
The worse part is lot of people know lots of other people that wanted to go. I also know about six or seven groups of people who tried getting tickets at two pm. It was going to be a blast having such large groups of UND fans hanging out in Vegas together, unfortunately that will no longer happen and a couple of people will only be going from those 20 plus people.
I'd still like to see a "signature game" played at the Ralph once a year just to switch it up....might have more of those when we start playing the other three Dakota schools for conference points soon (more likely a chance to play one on the weekend when the hockey team is out of town).
