UND1983 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I am too wondering what it will take to get to 10-12K every week.

I think the answer is winning consistently but most importantly playoff wins. Don't let fans down, consistent steady play It clearly takes more than having a great home winning record.. I think its all about consistently winning games and regularly making a run in the playoffs. Even the Fargodome was half empty before the bison started their Championship runs in the last decade. UND could do some pretty easy things to improve the game day experience.. i.e improve the sound system.. it was totally embarrassing yesterday.. every time the ref tried to talk the feedback was so bad you couldn't hardly hear what he said. Have some decent merchandise for sale at the game.. We had friends with us at the game yesterday and they wanted to buy some UND gear and what was available was not great. Maybe dont screw up all of the timing for the intro video and team entrance Maybe send a couple marketing reps down south about 75 miles.. they seem to be able to figure out the things above on gameday. Overall, the stuff listed above would improve things around the margins and keep the current fanbase more interested.. I think it will take playing meaningful football in December/January on a regular basis to truely attract more fans. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND needs to actually be committed to improve this, which, dare we say it, requires them to put their money where their mouth is … Spend some actual money on football and you will grow as a university, UND. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 To Fill the Alerus we need to be the best team in the State. Nothing is going to change until we beat the Bison and are looked at as equal or better than them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetsahead Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I know this has been brought up ad nauseum after many games and concerts, but the beer/concessions line situation at the Alerus is unacceptable. The Chris Stapleton concert seemed particularly egregious, but a well-attended football game is almost as bad. I'm not even sure what the fix is as the concourses quickly become almost impassable due to all the queueing. It didn't help at Stapleton that (apparently at the request of the artist to avoid empty cans being filled with water and thrown...) every can of beer or seltzer had to be poured into a plastic cup and each station was staffed by one employee. I felt bad for those folks as they were clearly doing their best in a tough situation. Anyway...rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Is it just me or has the concession/bathroom lines gotten ridiculous on the east side? I don't feel like it was this bad in years past and I think attendance is similar. Is there any difference in the west(student) side from previous years? Used to watch from catwalk so maybe I was always able to beat the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concessions/bathrooms overwhelmed with large crowds, and for FB we've only had one capacity crowd in years. Alerus will have even longer lines when UND FB wins on the road like they do at home.

Jobs like that are very part time and plenty of people used it for some extra discretionary income. Post-covid, it has become harder and harder to find people to fill the need. It is an unfortunate reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
