I am not trying to force students to go to the game, just accepting the numbers. Take the emotion out of it, this is a step in how to fill the Alerus -
2,000 student seats and 2,000 tickets handed out. Of those 2,000 - 100+ don't show up, 100 stand in the end zone, 50 at Happy Harry's bar, and 50 sit with other family and friends. So, now we have 1,700 students sitting in the 2,000 student section and it's not full. So to Wi Sioux and DB Cooper, why not factor this in knowing we have general overflow in the catwalks?? And yes, I am saying hand out around 2,300 tickets for 2,000 seats.
13,500 I believe is the fire code rating of the Alerus. So if we happen to be over in the future they will only say 13,500.
