I'm sure some members of this board would have rather had the teams not play for several of those years

At his age, probably not exactly easy to get the good jobs anymore. Its not over because of miscommunication. Its over because NDSU moved up. At this point in time, NDSU would win. There is little to discuss in that regard. Probably wouldn't be much of a game.

Pardon. 1.3 Billion by latest counts. Don't know how many are practicing....but I bet there are enough of us that we can handle this gentleman and his buddies who are in his line of thinking.

My favorite part about the PPTV piece was that the part about NDSU football had little to do with UND and more about winning titles....while the UND part had basically everything to do with catching up to NDSU. My Grandma was his babysitter back in Harvey, North Dakota. Said he was one of the nicest people she ever dealt with. That said, that man hated UND with more of a passion that I could ever imagine. Has twice as many titles as UND if I recollect.

Should be relatively close. UND gets a lot more home games. NDSU benefits from 7,000 or so more seats. Looks like hammersmith took care of it now that I take a peek. The numbers may or may not disappoint some folks around here.

Could be true. None of us can actually know. Hard to believe a B1G athlete being buried on the chart though. Possible though.

As a 21 year old college kid, I'd have to agree with said statement.

Not true! Anyone who knows me knows I am about the happiest person in the world.

SFA and SHSU(I think SHSU) play for a giant life size statue of an indian chief.

Dortmund 571,403 Borussia Dortmund stadium - 80,000 (2nd most popular soccer team in Germany) Munich 1.42 million FC Bayern Munich stadium - 71,000 (most popular team in Germany) City 1/3 the size of Munich has a bigger stadium?!? NO WAY. Lincoln Nebraska 258,379. Stadium holds 81,000. Twin Cities, MN Metro of 3,759,978. Stadium holds 50,805. (I am aware Nebraska is a better football school, but I chose two schools that are the only D-I game in their respective states). If you want, I can keep going...

Not fair again. Schools with lower capacity facilities are then rewarded. Say UND is getting 2900 per basketball game at the Betty, thats close to 100%. If NDSU is getting(I know we aren't even close to this) 5500 at the BSA, then by that way of thinking, UND wins that debate despite NDSU nearly doubling UND's number of fans present.

Too easy for me to steal it then though. In all honesty, it should be in a museum of some sorts if the teams don't plan on playing for it anymore.....or mounted in my living room...that'd be fine with me too.

Hockey will give UND an advantage. How many home games per year? Football - NDSU (Could fill up the Al with our season ticket holders) Basketball - NDSU (I think we average close to 3,000 a game. Not positive though).

You picked a sport that is not fun to watch in general unless the team you like is winning. I'm sorry, but women's basketball is awful to watch. If NDSU was good though, I'd make an effort to go, because winning is fun to watch. If NDSU is consistently 7-4, 8-3, 9-2 moving forward, the attendance will never be an issue. Think Appy or Montana like 06 said. The days of less than 10,000 people showing up are gone.

People won't want to lose their season tickets. (See Montana)

So...what you are saying is even in NDSU's worst season as a D-I, attendance still was good enough to be well over capacity at the Alerus? The SIU game..may have been opener for hunting I think? Not entirely sure. I remember being really mad after the WIU game, homecoming loss and what not. Choosing outliers in statistics generally will get you nowhere. Also, a major difference between now and 2009. Back then, you could easily get individual game tickets or season tickets to NDSU football. Now, you can't. If you give up your tickets now, you probably will not get them back.

Not fair to use the Metro example. UND is within an hour of Fargo. No reason Notre Dame should outdraw Minnesota. Why doesn't the east coast schools outdraw NDSU or UND? They are in much bigger cities....

I remember that game. Loudest I had heard the dome throughout a full game up to that point. If you want, you can look at Appalachian's attendance of playoff games on thanksgiving weekend, they go from like 27 or 28,000 down to 15,000. Happened to everyone. I was actually planning on going up to Grand Forks to see Notre Dame play but NDSU snuck into those playoffs. Well done on picking the rare losing season in Fargo. I remember my dad telling me after that season that we wouldn't be going to anymore games until Babich was gone. Thankfully he moved on after that season.

19,000 seats. Large building.

Sounds like NDSU athletes. The elitest mentality of people like you are why you guys cant fill up the Alerus.

Even if UND ever got one of them....we'd still have higher attendance figures.

Glass house. We have as many season ticket holders in football as your hockey house can hold.....we'll see about basketball once(if it ever happens) the SHAC gets done.

I guess I'll take this as a compliment that I am not viewed as obese, but sausage and cheesecake sounds wonderful right now.

This is everything that is wrong with a sect of UND fans. Trying to talk down winning championships. Let me know when UND wins a championship in a sport that the BCS conferences play. Until then, talking down FCS titles just seems ridiculous.

Apparently neither have you.
