Couldn't agree more, NDSU has their share of troubles.

Last Saturday, in Sec 211 and top 19 rows of corner sections 210 218. Now for Mont St, next home game, section 211 & all of corner sections 210 218 are blanked out, don't know if it will stay that way, so may be they expanded tickets for students to around 4,000.

And add, also good for standing room only locations. During some of the sellouts, didn't they let people also stand on the floor below the catwalks?

Gundy, I like your question, I'll join in. Thinking this will become more of a concern once the Hawk's Nest starts selling out. If students get tickets from the general admission student sections 214, 213, 212, then their tickets are probably marked as student section and not have a seat #? If students get tickets from the overflow which are from sections 211 and possible corners 210, 218, then their tickers probably have a seat #? Now something that hasn't been mentioned and I'll throw in is Standing Room Tickets. There's been about 13,500 people at the 1st NDSU game. There are 12,283 seats without any added bleachers. How many standing room tickets can be sold? How do they fit in with the practice of people with assigned seats preferring the catwalk over their seat, and then leaving their seat vacant? Getting back to your point I put in Bold. If students get tickets during the week of the game for free and then decide not to go Saturday, what gives, how does UND address that? Give out a few extras? Xtras can also serve as standing room tickets? U seems to be trying to fill the house, I like it! Another concern is the congestion getting in and making sure everyone gets scanned so the U has a correct number to figure out no shows (tickets sold vs tickers scanned). We better win in SD if we want to see how this seating plays out? And, it wouldn't hurt if SD had a maximum of 2 losses in the MVFC.

I'm thinking there was no charge for any of the 3,000 student tickets. If projections show that all tickets won't sell, letting more students into the game sounds like a good decision.

OK, I agree with this till proven wrong, Now, regarding last weekend; Up front, we know students pay athletic fees, done so for many years. Did UND expand the student section to over 3,000 tickets and there was no charge at the time of receiving the student ticket? or Did students only get the 2,000 or so original student tickets for free and then they had to pay something for the additional 1000 or so tickets which were coming out of a reserved section?

definetly, not many visiting fans show up and they just get about 200 tickets is all, which some usually come back and UND tries to sell them. I've bought them a few times for friends.

definetly, LOL Just looked at Mont St game tickets availabe, there's only 170 tickets left for sale, outside of opposing team tickets in lower section 217, on the whole student side of the field. This time all of section 210 and 218 are blanked out escept for handicapped seats, like they're going to give the stdents even more tickets than last weekend??? Maybe they're trying for that sellout, more power to them!

I don't think they release the scanned numbers from the gate. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Attendance numbers in the box score are tickets sold, including those handed out to students. With last Saturdays game they had the three sections 214, 213, 212 as the student section early in the week, then towards the end of the week Section 211 was blanked and then top of the corner sections 210 218 we blanked out, adding another 1,000 seats for a total of over 3,000 tickets to the students.

WOW, that would that be a finish, can't image Bubba trying the 2 again, but I would eat it up. The upside is that it would put him in a possition to try it in a BIG GAME down the road and on the road !!!

Not now, after you picked SD. Or, can we even win after the SD players read all your compliments on their board.

I heard we get a bye!

Agree, I went to many games in the Fieldhouse against these bunnies. Next year we're in the Summit, so that changes most of this, except for their arrogance, and then later in the MVFC. Since the xdsu's went Div I, arrogance (with fans, coaches, and administrations) went over the top. We are going to fix that.

You right, the GOLDEN GOOSE

I just got done reading our game thread with SD Last year Buy the way how things can change? I took part of a few following excerpts from the 1st 4 pages of a 17 page thread of last year: Gameday: UND vs USD 4pm. Here it goes: crowd is pathetic. No one standing on defense In Bubba We Trust Not a good FB team right now. Looking like a Mussman coached team leavenodoubt looks like it might be taking on a whole different meaning Hockey is 2 week away TROLL: I was told.... UND is a really good football team. best 0-3 team in FCS if this stands. I'll have a bunch more arm and leg room the next home game. Nearly full house despite a 0-2 record. Garbage on the field Offense play calling is absolutely brutal. They could go 0-11 last game with a good crowd this year Up gut play one up gut play two pass play three SD hasn't figured it out The Fighting Hawks logo is jinxed! Well we are leaving let's just do the Omaha route. Put $ into Basketball/Hockey. Neon Deon Harris AGAIN! Wow........tied. Unbelievable. Santiago...TD in OT These two teams have the craziest games... FG USD. 44-41. Win #1 in teh books under review TROLL: Xmas came early in Grand Forks Play reversed. QB sneak.....3rd down coming Finally omg I can taste the salt .. under review. It was a horrendous showing Same old USD. Wow, the Football program just came alive!! Ugliest game thread ever for a win.

Yesterday, ND moves up one spot, SD enters the top 25. E. Washington drops below us to # 12.

The FC STATS and the FCS Coaches Poll as of 9-11-17 Both have ND (1-1) at # 10 Both have SD (2-0) at # 23 http://hosted.stats.com/cfb/polls.asp?div=1aa&week=02

Absolutely, we do have a airial attack ready to play. Now we just need to use a balance in every game.

UND has, overall, played better in the 1st 2 games this year. The real, early test will be SD. They are also an improved team. If we can beat them with a balanced attack and minamal mistakes, we have a good start. If we loose, bring it on?

The DakotaDome build in 1979 in Vermillion, SD seats 10,000 fans. There are less than 1,000 tickets available and there is a potential for a sell out. Seating cart https://www.vividseats.com/ncaaf/south-dakota-coyotes-tickets/south-dakota-9-16-2269095.html

Have yo heard of scheduling an 0 for 2? About 5 years ago, UND did for a game in 2015 and one for 2019.

All home teams look good so far this fall.
