Just to beat a dead horse:
SDSU attendance in their last two years of DII: 5,757/game
SDSU attendance in first two years of DI-AA to date: 8,828/game
35% increase
NDSU attendance in their last two years of DII: 11,094/game
NDSU attendance in first two years of DI-AA to date: 13,533/game
18% increase
UND attendance in past two seasons in DII to date: 9,625/game
Projected UND attendance at DI-AA (26.5% increase): 12,176/game*
*Estimated increase of 26.5% based on SDSU/NDSU increases averaged together (I think this is a plausible number to use in that support of UND's football program is probably more similar to SDSU's than it is to NDSU's because football is considered the secondary sport at SDSU like it is at UND, while football is and always has been considered NDSU's primary sport).
Wouldn't it be nice to see a crowd like we saw at the SCSU game, week in and week out? It could mean an increase of around $230,000 per year in ticket sales as well.

I would be curious to see what the numbers are once the novelty wears off - say in 5 or 10 years.

Other than the typical Sioux/Bison debate, doesn't UND owe Ferris State a return trip to Ferris? I though the deal was a 2-for-1, 2 trips to UND by Ferris and 1 return trip by UND. Has this been fulfilled or changed?
