    My opinion is that there is 1 team (ndsu) that we could possibly draw 20,000 fans to, but half of them would be for the other team.

    I'm 49 when I attend Sioux events (all the time), I feel young, I am at least 10 years younger then half the age group attending, other than the students, this could explain alot of lack of crowd particaption at all games..?

    I just do not see Grand Forks and surrounding area ever consistantly supporting 15-18-20 thousand for a football game no matter who the opposition, or classification level we play in...sorry

    Couple this with, if we do not win..(we are 10-1, now) it just will not happen....my opinion

    Honestly, why are we even debating this. They drew 19,000 for a game that means jack and we got 5,000 for a playoff game. Goes to show how the average ND sports fan wants to spend their dollar. Watching a competitive game or watching a horrendous blowout. Seems like no- brainer. Sure we could have won a lot more championships in the next few years if we had chosen to stay DII, the real question is if anybody would have actually attendend any of them. People will come out to watch quality games against true rivals like ndsu, sdsu, Montana, Northern Iowa. They won't for some garbage Nsic team and their are a lot more of those teams in DII than their used to be.

    We will never be Fargo..?

    I have been in Grand Forks for 27 Years and Supported the Sioux.

    in 1980 we had a population of 48,000...Fargo 60,000

    we are now 50,000 and Fargo over 100,000 +

    Just so you know I put my Money where my mouth is 27 years worth of contributions, tickets and support is well over $125,000 plus

    Just don't see the rest of the community stepping up...Alumni maybe but they do not all live here..?

    You guys are right...

    We are running out of room anyway to store all those National Championship Football Trophies..?

    At Least we outdrew those powerhouse Div 1aa match-ups of..

    #9 New Hampshire vs #19 Maine...Attendance 4834

    #6 James Madison vs #23 Towson...Attendance 4533

    I'm sure when we make the jump to Div 1aa / Div 1 that all these things will cure themselfs...

    We will for sure fill our New Open Air Outside Stadium to 25, 000 plus capacity, so we won't have to worry about the Alerus Security Nazis. The atomshpere wil be fantastic because we will be playing a regional powerhouse like UC Davis (Ranked #22 in Country at 5-5)

    Yea Right...I Can't wait...

    In light of what happened today, does anybody really think UND would have even made the playoffs had USD won yesterday? I thought so before today, but not now.

    We would have been 6th...lol..?

    They say they do not use head to head as much as SOS, but it seems odd that.. You can beat a .500 team the last day of season and jump two spots..? (UNO)

    We beat a ranked oppent USD and drop one to #3...

    I'm confident the National Committee in their review, Changed the recomended regional rankings..?

    Do not know for sure but just a guess, The NCAA has reps on the National Committee

    Oh yeah, I am normally not one to harp on refs, but that was easily the worst officiating job I've seen in the 4 years that I've been regularily going to games.

    I was on the sideline the 4th and 15 pass interference call was a bad call, the side judge did not call anything the back judge under the goal posts throws the late flag, Both receiver and d-back out of bounds around the 10-12 yard line. I hate to see a victory aided by a offcials call.

    I thought Randy Hedberg handled it very well, I believe his quote was something like "Good teams fine ways to win these type of games", But he did get ripped on that call.
