That is what I propose they should do. As far as I know, student section seats are not sold. If they sold all unclaimed student seats, I think there would be many that would scoop them up.

Students have until 10am Tuesday to pick up their tickets for the football game. After that, the rest go on sale as general admission seats to the public. No reserved seats.

Of course that is well known that you can go sit there when it is empty in the second half. But instead of hoping that people figure that out and move to those better seats in the open student section, why not sell those seats to fans that otherwise wouldn't go tot he game because the only place they can get 6 seats together is at the 10 yard line.

Why can't UND release all the unused tickets and sell to the general public like they do for hockey tickets? Thursday at 10am, any student tickets not claimed by students go up for sale to the general public as general admission tickets. Have a group rate for buying 4 or mire tickets to make it more affordable for families. Sections would remain alcohol free.

I get all non conference games are huge in the PWR. Especially against really really bad teams. My point is if we get a split and the game we win is like a 3-2 win, it doesn't give the team a lot of confidence moving forward. Berry misses the playoffs this year again, the seat is very hot.

Who would have thought a non conference matchup the opening weekend against a team that finished last place in the AHA would be a must win/must sweep weekend!! Not only do we have to sweep Canisius, but these games need to be dominating wins to give us any hope this year is not going to be another bust.

The PAC 12 is going to be really really good come 2023!!

As stated numerous times on this site, it is not just a UND problem. Student attendance is down nationwide. Even at schools that are putting a great product at the field. Student sections at Alabama and Clemson are even struggling to fill seats. It's more than just putting a good product on the field. It's just that college kids these days don't care as much about attending college athletics than in the past. So no, it's not that simple.

If Ketteringham starts over Schuster this weekend, this coaching staff needs to be let go. I don't care if Schusters shirt will be pulled for the season. You have to put your best option out there at QB. And it is obvious that Schuster is that guy. Kett's play in the first half of the Drake game coupled with one of the worst QB performances I have seen at UND prove that Kett is not the guy that should be under center this weekend or for the rest of the season.

So who gets the start at QB next week?!

6 turnovers and we lose by only 2 scores. Cut that number in half and we might find a way to win!!

Anyone at the game tonight with some pics or video of the new scoreboard in action?

Not to get off topic, but has anyone heard of any plans to honor the 20th Anniversary of the 2000 National championship team this year? Man it would be sweet to see the team wear some old geometric head jerseys!!!

I think the Chaves/Alerus/etc need to give the students 2 more years to show their support for the program to show that they are deserving of the midfield seats. It's not like it any secret that those sections are far from full, even at the beginning of games. I am sure its not the first time Chaves or the Atheltic Department have been emailed about the student support (or lack there of) at football games. As we all are aware, student support around the country is down. So they need to decide if the financial benefit to moving the students and opening those seats up to season ticket holders outweighs any negative results for moving the students to the corner. I think the Athletic Department should really monitor the situation the next two seasons. Given that we are moving to the MVFC, that should increase interest in our fanbase bringing familiar foes back. for the students, it doesn't mean the same as most of us because we remember playing the Dakota schools year after year. they don't. But I don't think it will take too long for students to get hyped playing other Dakota school rivals, especially NDSU. I think the Athletic Department needs to put the students on notice before next season letting them know that while everyone wants the students to be at the games and to fill those sections, failure to do so may result in losing the prime seats at midfield. That way, if they end up moving the student section to the corners, they should not have much excuse to complain as UND will have the numbers and pictures from the game to show the support they are or aren't showing in regards to their attendance at games.

What makes it even worse is when they wear all red jerseys and helmets!! Not sure how there fans deal with this all the time!!! Thanks God this is our last game there for awhile (hopefully ever). (I apologize for blinding everyone with the ridiculously bright red as well as showing a pic that included the knucklheads from the south!!)

sure wish I hadn't used up all my free articles on grandforksherald.com so I could read this!!

Common Man is at Valley Golf Course in EGF today for a charity golf tournament. Had Berry on. Listening to Bubba right now. Just in case there was any doubt, he said Ketteringham would be starting this weekend.

Some great "quality loses" for 1-3 E Wash to keep them ranked at #21.

Get your sewing machine out. Only way you are going to get current players names on a jersey.

Plenty of seats available for Gopher hockey games??? Wow!!! What a shock!!!

UC Davis having success with the no huddle against NDSU. Would like to see Freunds offense run in the no huddle. Seems to work well.

If Kett is ready to go, start him. If not, use Schuster for the next 1-2 games. I don't mind playing Schuster. Just hate to have him burn his redshirt because Kett is only at 90%. I'd take a 90% Kett the rest of the season for 4 more years of Schuster. He's the real deal.

We play arguable the two best teams in the Big Sky and two of the best teams in the country. Need to put out best players out there to have a chance to win these games. If Kett is ready he should play. He will have more success against EWU.

Not sure how many times we have played them, but here are the last 4 games. It's been a nightmare playing them in Cheney!! 2012 (Cheney) L 55 - 17 2013 (GF) L 35 - 14 2014 (Cheney) L 54 - 3 2017 (GF) L 21 - 14
