  1. Hopefully we can buy out the return trip Thanks for posting.
  2. As far as workforce goes, a larger, more attractive downtown will also help Grand Forks to retain young professionals.

    2019 Season

    This playoff bracket would be a blast if we made a run in the playoffs. http://nobowls.com/
  5. I didn't post a source, so I'll dig around and report some specific examples - maybe I'm wrong. For clarification, I was specifically referencing the lowest face value ticket price for single game tickets.
  6. Well, it IS a message board, so... yeah? FYI, the message board gurus were also on board with firing Muss and Rudy, well before those with any power finally did so. The message board was also ahead on voicing game day concerns, and most of the issues that the game day committee took action on, or tried to implement, were already voiced here, so I'd think someone was reading. I also think it would be better for Chaves to hear some grumbling about this from SOMEWHERE, rather than hear nothing at all, no? Maybe this forum can spur discussion within the AD, because apparently there hasn't been any yet. The fact of the matter is that UND's AD needs money - the students, who don't attend games, limit the potential sale of the most expensive seats in the building (champions club dues). It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what the most beneficial move is for the athletic department. Pricing of single game tickets is a whole other issue. The end sections clearly lack demand, and a move to a dynamic pricing model would clearly be beneficial. I'm fairly certain that AD is hamstrung, if they wanted to implement something like this, due to the contract with the Ralph. Discounted general admission tickets in the end sections that are ALWAYS empty is another no brainer. Tickets for UND football are very expensive, when compared to most programs around the country.
  7. Wyonation Nichols departure thread https://www.wyonation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18742&hilit=president&sid=1fc088eeb43071dd26ad753072e27b9f Isn't there a wyoming guy that posts here sometimes? Bison/Wyoming fan maybe?
  8. I'd take the guy that was pushed out at this institution. My vote so far is the former Wyoming pres. Curious what wyonation has said about her.
  9. If they didn't move the student section over, anyone have an opinion on selling the upper sections of 212, 213, and 214 to the public, and keeping the students in the lower part of each section? The upper area is elevated, so students standing shouldn't be an issue, and the students who do go would be more concentrated at least.
  10. Has Chaves done ANYTHING since he has been AD? Serious question.

    @Oxbow6 - you might like this website - the data doesn't include 2018, but you can refine by school and some of the specific expense and revenue accounts for athletic departments, pretty easily and quickly. http://cafidatabase.knightcommission.org/reports/516fab33

    Also, SDSU in 2018 was 6,808,090, but that includes 2,622,732 in debt service, probably for the new stadium, so really it's like 4,185,358, if we want to compare apples to apples (as much as it's possible, at least). Each of these AD's has millions in expenses attributed to the AD as a whole, and they all do this a little bit differently so it's hard to say exactly what the real numbers are, but you/most people already know that probably.
  13. Gotcha. Not sure if you recognize my username - I give you crap sometimes, but just wanted to say I really do appreciate this stuff.

  16. interesting. love when you post this type of stuff. you subscribed to some type of trade journal for this type of thing or something?
  17. UND really needs to hope for a Weber win vs Sac, since Sac isn't on our schedule. Weber loses, and they will drop to around ten in the polls - would much rather be facing the #3 or #4 team in the country two weeks from now to help with our SOS. Weber loses vs Sac, and a win vs Weber doesn't look much better than the Montana State win imo.

    2019 Season

    16k is irrelevant when first round games are never sold out anyway. Normally some of the worst attended games of the season for most teams.
  19. Maybe they could compromise and open up the top level of that section. Still don't see why they can't reduce pricing for the end sections and make them general admission.
  20. It seems to me the relationship between wins and attendance exists, but winning/losing really makes a bigger impact the following year. Attendance more so based on pre season expectations. Rudy ball was not helpful though even in winning seasons. The new offense is much more enjoyable to watch. I think attendance next year will be much better, and we may see a season tickets bump with a mvfc schedule.
  21. I thought the facemask call a couple plays later was a make up call. PI call still should NOT have been missed though.
  22. Only to then put them on a diet.
  23. We have ILB that are heaver than lineman on this team! Just crazy. The coaches inability to fill glaring roster gaps that this forum had a bead years ahead of time is really alarming (NG and QB). Really is a huge bummer that Ott was injured so early in his career. How many guys on the DL do we have healthy for this game from the two deep going into spring ball?
  24. https://fightinghawks.com/documents/2019/10/23//Week_9_MSU.pdf It's hard to find with the new web page layout. It's on the right side - green rectangle that says "week 9 msu"
  25. I hope you meant season, right?
