typo? u didn't even know we were conference mates for 10 years...sioux hockey goes back farther than 2001.

https://fightinghawks.com/news/2010/11/27/205038315.aspx SIOUX NOTES: Tonight's game drew 11,742 fans, meaning both games were sold out even though UND students are gone on holiday break . . . Frattin led the Sioux in shots on goal with seven, followed by Danny Kristo (Eden Prairie,, Minn.) with six and Evan Trupp (Anchorage, Alaska) with five . . . Trupp was stopped by Johnson on a clean breakaway four minutes into the third period and UND leading 2-1 . . . UND had a 31-25 edge in faceoff wins, paced by Corban Knight (High River, Alberta), who won 12 of 18.

but according to stoneysioux we've only played them 3 times...never been in the same conference for 10 years and we didn't play them few years back at the ralph and had more people at that hockey game than did the mighty bizon at their first home playoff football game in 20 years?

no history with UND?...maybe you don't know your history of UND. come on.

yes.

remember the pic at the beginning of this thread only shows part of the ralph.......lots of empty seats everywhere in the buidling...not saying half empty but do we wait until it literally becomes half full?

so your saying the quality of the opponent or the national prestige of the school that UND plays in any sport has no bearing on attendance? interesting?

they were free...... "hey wants some free tickets to the game to the conference opener" "who we play" 'miami" "hurricanes?" "no the team from oxford, ohio" "no thanks" or "hey wants some free tickets to the game to the conference opener" "who we play" 'notre dame" "fighting irish" "yes!!!!" "i'll take em all and if hot dog prices were lower i would probably buy 10 of them!!!!!!!"

my buddy had two tixs on the online sale site last night and no nibbles...tried to give em away to neighbors...nothing...it's more than just students staying at home.

didn't know she was dead....but...find the oldest person in the arena with a beer and make sure the second that beer is going down she's on the big screen.....beer gma 2.0 or grandpa....

ticket prices aren't a factor in Grand Forks?....see the thread entitled "GF Economy".....

point 1 join big10=increased attendance = more money point 2 get rid of no fun police=more students being allowed to be students and have fun=more attendance and with less food costs maybe they actually buy a hot dog or two=more money point 3 allow smoking=i think some people that leave early are smokers that need their fix in a bad way point 4 lower ticket prices=worked for food in atlanta why not try it....10 per seat is better than 2000 empty seats getting u zero point 5 lower food prices=seems to working well for atlanta point 6 no parking fees=didn't hae em in the past so why start now point 7 bring back beer gma=beer on the big screen means more people wanting a beer=more money

just pointing out the different mindset by the falcons....referecing point 5 on my list.

nfl games don't have to worry about attendance....just saying that someone thinking outside the box or moving away from the old "this is how we have always done it" mentality is refreshing especially when it works as it is in atlanta.. family of 4 40 x 4 parking 20 bucks? food 50 remove some of these obstacles and it might help...or maybe it won't

who would've thought that actually lowering prices on something might work..... https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/03/06/were-evangelists-this-why-atlanta-falcons-are-selling-hot-dogs/

give out minors to students that even remotely look like they are drunk and having a good time....and took beer grandma off the big screen?

kidding about what? a half empty ralph is lethal to our athletic department...things have to change

1. join big10 2. get rid of the no fun police (at the alerus too) 3. allow smoking in the olympic rink during the intermissions (hennessy approved) 4. lower ticket prices 5. lower food prices 6. eliminate parking fees 7. bring back beer grandma (part of the no fun police getting fired)

agreed...thought u meant this year...both have 3 in the top 10.

do we tho?

is it tho?

If this game was against Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, or Notre Dame the place would've been packed the rafters....just saying... think ralph would be happy that the sioux are in the nchc instead of the big10?

i was shocked that brady was one of the first guys off the bench and he played that much...hazey and davids didn't even play? brady looked....okay.
