I don't know how they're counting butts in the seats for these games, but I was at the UND-ISU game yesterday afternoon and I have been to many during the regular season. I was extremely surprised to see the 1,400 announced attendance, as I would have guessed way closer to 2,000, based on my experiences at other games this season. It sure looked and felt like it.
I have been equally surprised by the announced attendance for the non-UND games as they have been in the 900s, and that seems very inflated versus the eye-ball test of actual butts in the seats. So I don't know what is going on.
The only glaring hole yesterday at the UND-ISU game was the south side student section was nearly bare (they are on Spring Break, so cut them some slack).
Bottomline: The Betty was rocking and there was a vibe in the air like no other game this season yesterday. C'mon, Grand Forks, let's come out this afternoon and support these ladies like we did at Hyslop in the 90's!
