(and yet I can find no reason why I would ever go to Bison-swille and share that.) It was in response to posters who questioned the sustainability of ticket sales and if people would really pay the high prices. So my post was completely appropriate.

So my post was completely appropriate. Pointing out one guy who would pay a $1,000,000 for season tickets doesn't really equate to "sustainability." "How much did your ticket cost for this game?" "$100,000" "Oh and I thought the $300 I paid was a lot!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 One guy I know told UND: "I want my own suite to watch UND hockey games!" UND said, "Sorry we don't have any suites at hockey games." Gentleman declared, "Ok Fine!! I'll build my own suite and include a rink around it!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume these would be the biggest crowds UND baseball has ever seen being it will more than likely be the last games of its existence ever and all... Yes, I walked right in, was very sunny, didn't have a baseball a cap, so shielded the sun from my eyes with my hand. Called my daughter, she came with grandson and a cap. It was a fun game, about 200 people. They had 3 cameras running. Concessions were open, don't know if they were UND's? Field looked in really good shape, kind of sad we might loose it?

I do know that staff were giving up their extra tickets so others could get tickets. A couple of years ago a guy asked how much it would cost to get tickets. They quoted 6 or 7 figures and he wrote them a check. They found him tickets. The rest of your post? "Big money waiting on tickets." That still doesn't mean much for "sustainability." First start charging students and see how "sustainability" that is (last I heard they don't usually even sell out all their free tickets).

You must have missed the 2000 season tickets requests that couldnt be filled. The students? Dont care if they dont claim their tickets. They then sell them to the general public. Which is quite popular from what Ive heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like someone at Michigan asking someone at Kansas how much is their attendance in football when you know football is not their #1 sport. So at UND attendance goes hockey, football, men's basketball, at NDSU it's football, men's basketball and either the Fargo Force or the FM RedHawks, cause no other sport hits 1000 in attendance unless UND comes to town. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-1 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 On the topic of UND dropping sports, what is UND's plan for Swimming and Diving? I have heard their antiquated pool is now leaking. If they aren't going to sink any money into it then why keep those programs? Having that as their home pool is the equivalent of the football team playing their games at Memorial Stadium or the baseball team at Kraft.

If only baseball had a former coach in the room with BF, DI, and SJ. Oh, and if that former coach could also throw out the phrase "Title IX" anytime he felt threatened the program would still be around, also.

We both play BB so thats a fair comparison. We both play football in the same division as well so that a fair comparison. Not only on the team plays but attendance. We dont play hockey so you really cant make that comparison. But we know thats your hold card when your rebuttals start going south. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
