siouxhog12 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Televised game, Thursday night, coming of a 3-8 record.................. 4 of the last 5 home openers have attracted over 10,000 fans............ I'll be the optimist and say more than 10k will show.................... All of our home games are televised. That shouldn't make a difference. And to be fair, last year it the first home game was like a month after school started so students weren't as excited about it. Quote

homer Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Great scheduling to put it on a Thursday night instead of a Saturday of Labor day weekend. I'll go with over 10K, I'm bringing 3. Quote
darell1976 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Attendance of 9300 and a 45-10 win for the Sioux. Quote
UNDColorado Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Attendance of 9300 and a 45-10 win for the Sioux. I wonder how many people will be tuning in via FCS, website, and FSSN? I will be leaving work at 4 so I can be home and ready to get rowdy by 6 (MTN timezone)! I am excited for UND football and I live in Denver ( tons of distractions); Next year with the Big Sky TV I will be able to watch EVERY league game! I just hope people that are able to go see the games in person get excited again!!! 1 Quote
Irish Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm hoping for over 10,000 - however with our home schedule this year, an uninspired performance and things could go south in a hurry - You saw that at the end of last year with about 30 students in attendance and gone by half-time. We need to do something to get the buzz back about football. The Sioux Falls loss cost us big time in terms of attendance, enthusiasm, and pride. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. Time to get back to the Sioux Football Program that we expect. Quote

UND-1 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I will be heading up from Fargo on Thursday. Hour each way is nothing. Predicting 10,500. Quote
CMSioux Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 4 hour drive 1 great seat at the 50 yard line Priceless I'm ready to tailgate! 1 Quote
MoSiouxFan Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Decided over the weekend to drive up from Missouri; predicting 9,750 and 31-21, Sioux. Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 3 hour drive each way for me.....ill be there. GO SIOUX!!! Quote
UND Fan Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Decided over the weekend to drive up from Missouri; predicting 9,750 and 31-21, Sioux. I am impressed - I wish I could make a similar drive. Mine would be the better part of 2,000 miles! Thanks for your interest in the program. Hopefully, it will be contagious! Quote

Hopefully, it will be contagious! Honestly, the primary impetus for the trip is to visit my brother-in-law, but I always try to combine these trips with a Sioux game or other sporting event. However, three friends and I are coming back for the Ice Breaker Tournament and the Sioux football game in a little over a month (already have our tickets for the Ice Breaker), where the only impetus is Sioux hockey/football! Go Sioux! Quote
GeauxSioux Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm hoping to see some of this kind of performance from Mr. Bradley.... Go SIOUX!! Quote
UNDvince97-01 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm hoping to see some of this kind of performance from Mr. Bradley.... Go SIOUX!! Wow. I forget how impressive he was in JUCO. I see a confident kid who has good pocket presence, can look off half the field, then throw back to the other and is very accurate on his deep balls. The only question is the competition and level of play. We will see. I too hope for more of that highlight film, starting with the Drake Bulldogs on Thursday evening. GO SIOUX!!! Quote
Wilbur Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'm hoping to see some of this kind of performance from Mr. Bradley.... Go SIOUX!! Hmm.....thats what the pistol offense is supposed to look like....interesting. With the right QB in the system it doesn't look too bad. My guess is 9,500 fans. Should be a huge student section.....Thursday night....go to the game, then enjoy thirsty Thursday. Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I'll definitely be there, I can hardly wait for football season to start! I'm predicting over 11,000 for the fist game (large student section for the fist half of the game). Next year I'm predicting tickets will be scarce for those who get caught procrastinating. Quote

I bought my 4 season tix the other day - now I can have the ones I want for next year at the cheaper price. UND will honor this years prices for 2012 also, which is like stealing. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I was at the Texas A&M Kingsville game a few years ago. That was a thursday game, and the place was pretty full, student section was rockin. I hope for the same this year. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 next poll question should be if the sioux lose on thursday what will the attendance be for the next home game: over/under 5000? Quote
dakotadan Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Attendance: 8484 Kind of disappointing number. But being a Thursday night with people working tomorrow definately put a dent in it. But the athletic department and the Al did smarten up and put almost all of their walkup ticket sales on the west side so it looks better on TV. Quote

Good point, I have often wondered why that side is always so empty. Student section and that side in general looked almost full on TV. It was also really loud and it looked like the 12th man caused a couple false starts; I can't wait to see 12,500 pack in there! Quote
sioux7>5 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 What does the Alerus hold for football? Quote
