Good. I feel like 1500 students (not including the band) would be a solid effort, though I'm not sure what student attendance typically runs (I see the empty space, but I'm not a good judge of the number actually there).
Anyone know how the band factors in? I would hope the school/foundation buys them tickets (and not the ones purchased by Nodak Nation)
Well we didn't have to pay any D1 men's basketball teams to come to GF this year.
Seriously though, I'd guess MSG and CBSSN are paying most of the cost of the trip.
Currently, none of the unused student section seats or Richmond seats are included in the 3,115 number. Right now, it's looking like that's another 2,000 empty seats (5,000+ total empty). Still plenty of time for that to improve though.

I can't imagine why Triplett wasn't reelected. Actually, I don't understand how she was ever elected to begin with. Good on Grand Forks for realizing its mistake.
