http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=204985525&DB_OEM_ID=13500 Under "Tailgating Rules and General Info" All tailgaters must be moved into assigned space(s) 2 hours prior to kickoff.

UND Football @UNDfootball Replying to @mrlentz23 New this year the tailgate lots will open at 8 a.m. for each game, regardless of kick time.#PledgeYourLoyalty 9:03 PM - Aug 16, 2017

Veteran leadership, Cup cred, gritty center that can fill in in case of injury. I like it!! Go out as a 4 time Stanley Cup Champion and bring the Cup to Minnesota!!!

You would still have to have reserved spots in each zone. I think that complicates things more than fixes them. The solution to tailgating is to get people with tailgate spots excited about tailgating. So much so that they are waiting in line to get in the lot when it opens. We are headed in the right direction for fan interest for football. The tailgate issue should improve as a result.

2.5 hours it a bit extreme. But I am in favor of closing it 1 hour before kickoff. If you have a tailgate pass and are showing up 30 mins prior to kickoff, you aren't using it for its intended use. But more importantly, you are driving in the most crowded part of the lot with thousands of people walking around that now have to avoid you because you are showing up late. Not sure if this is a huge problem, but I have seen it happen.

Well, it can't hurt!! Glad to hear that there are people on the committee that are monitoring this thread. There really are some pretty good ideas here.

Bubba Schweigert @BubbaSchweigert Game Day Committee meeting today to help pack the Alerus Center! #pledgeyourloyalty#daybyday I just replied to this tweet by Bubba with a link to this thread. Hopefully he checks it out and brings up some of the ideas mentioned!!

Its there, but it is black, so it blends in with the rest of the black part of the logo.

So @UNDFootball recently tweeted that the reserved tailgate spots have sold out. It's great that they are able to sell these spots completely out, but now the next step is to make sure they are used correctly. We all know about the people that use their tailgate spot as a reserved parking spot and show up 30 minutes prior to kickoff. They have every right to use the spot as they please, but that is not the intended use. One solution to maybe solve this would be to sell tailgate spots in quantities of 2 or more. Sure people could still use them for just parking in, but it would discourage it from happening and maybe encourage people to use the spot for tailgating. Also, one thing that the Fargodome is starting this year is issuing tailgate passes for each individual game. That way, if you can't make it one week, you would give your pass (or sell it if you can) to someone else without worrying about getting your pass back for the next week. Obviously for Bison game, you are going to have more success selling a tailgate pass. But at the Alerus, I think it would help eliminate the empty spaces for people that can't be at the game or that can't come early to tailgate. If you aren't going to make it, give it to someone else so the lot can be full without the large gaps between tailgaters because of people that can't make it.

The football team got these jerseys a couple years ago before the new font came out. It is expensive to replace football jerseys. Especially when you have 3 different jerseys per player. Eventually they will get new ones with the new font. What is the point you are trying to make again?

Those jerseys were purchased before the new logo and script came out.

New patch on the jerseys this year!

Where did you get that info?

UND Loses Safety Andre Randolph For The Season http://millersports.areavoices.com/2017/08/11/und-loses-safety-andre-randolph-for-the-season/

As per Ticketmaster (via UND) Onsale Date & Times Onsale to General Public Fri 09/01/17 10:00 am CDT Waitlist Presale Start: Wed 08/30/17 10:00 am CDT End: Wed 08/30/17 06:00 pm CDT NDCC Members Start: Thu 08/31/17 10:00 am CDT End: Thu 08/31/17 06:00 pm CDT It will be interesting to see if there are tickets even available after the first 2 presales. I am guessing it is going to be much like the Vegas game. They will leave aside a few for the general public, but they wil be gone in 10 seconds!

The same people complaining about the tickets for these games being to high will be the same people complaining on September 1st when these tickets sell out in 30 seconds. If the price is too high, then there should be plenty available when you go to buy them that day, right?!!

Sidenote, but this is one thing that I really hate hearing. Continuing to call UND the "Sioux" and choosing not accept anything Fighting Hawks does not make you a more hardcore fan than anyone else. We were all Sioux fans once. Accepting the Fighting Hawks name does not make of any less of a fan. That being said, Changing the name of siouxsports.com is not going to diminish this wbsite and make it not as popular. It will always be a great place for UND fans to discuss everything UND sports related.

I guess maybe I was too blacked out to remember!!

So with the new lighting, does it mean we will see a return to the lights being out for the team running out and the intro video?

Disagree. Joe Frat Boy may only be there to hang out with his Sig Ep brothers with no real intention to go to the game. If there is a table right there at the student lot handing out tickets, he and several others may be more apt to attend the game now. Doesn't really matter if he only stays at halftime. You have exposed UND football to people that may not have intended to that day. Joe Frat Guy could realize that UND football is a fun experience and he would be more likely to attend future games and even bring a couple of his buddies. Its all about exposing UND football to new fans. That is one of the goals every year. Making games more accessible to fans (especially students) is a good thing and I am all in favor of it.

You may need to think about changing your screen name to "the pantone 347 team".

Anthing to get more students in the doors and in the seats at football games I am in favor of!!
