2016 Attendance

[ericpnelson]

As always, you guys are always welcome to stop by tailgating.  I'm pretty pumped for this game to the point that it's distracting me from work.

AJS - please do your magic count a thingee again.

3115 as of 11/29

2780 left currently (not counting student / opposing team tickets), if sales continue, by tomorrow night another 300 would empty everything left in sections 202-208.

Capacity - 12,283 (Per Wiki) Since we don't know student totals, let's just count them for 0 (2122 seats), Opposing section 0 (437 total lower 217), Remaining 2780. It looks like they have sold 6944 non-student / opposing fan tickets so far.

I think attendance numbers for football and hockey are going to be outstanding this weekend.  We have season tickets for both, and rarely miss a game in either.  We're heading to NYC along with hundreds (thousands?) of Sioux fans.  To those who will be at the Al, cheer loud for us, OK?  We'll do the same for you in NYC.  With the VB team in the NCAA tourney, it's sure a great weekend for UND athletics.

Thanks AJS. if my memory is correct, I know of about 950 free student tickets claimed. There must be some students that paid for there own over and above. Means there have been at least 8000 tickets sold so far. 10000 is in reach. 

Wildcard will be student turn out. They have about another 1000 to claim.

Excited for the game!!! Haven't heard much on this thread (or anywhere else) about tailgating. Already planning my drink schedule.  

8AM:  Orange juice (no alcohol now, just saving room for a full breakfast at Darcy's) 

10AM:  Caesar with Worcester sauce, Celery salt, Tabasco, Pickle Juice, and Clamato(no Clamato where I live currently) and at least 2 beef sticks to stir... will be a treat. Hoping to get at least 2 of these down.

Noon:  Thinking I'll have to break out the Fireball, a Nebraska special (It is North Dakota, after all), nice warmth for 25F weather

2PM:  Mic Golden, another treat not served where I live (Also, want to back off a bit, need to stay awake for the game) Great sipping on this when the Hawks storm through Tailgate Alley!

4PM:  Vodka Red-bull (Did I just say stay awake for the game?!?, Check!!!!) 

5PM: Should be good for the game, if not sneak a flask of Ice House 

So jacked for the game!

Go Hawks!

That's a recipe for a lot of excitement! Can't wait.

20 more were donated

I have to believe that most of the tickets sold will be used since it took a conscious decision to get them vs. having season tickets and not attending all games.

Student tickets as well.  It wasn't like they were handed free tickets by one of the football coaches outside the Union.  Sure the tickets were free, but the students still have to go inside to the ticket office and make an effort to pick up their tickets.

Maybe the students will have a guilty conscience about not using them since someone donated money for them.

I say let them shoot off their fat mouths. If we have a nice showing and a win they will be quiet next week.

I'm sure they won't, but it won't damage how much fun I'm gonna have Saturday. Their infatuation is mind blowing to me.

This alone has boggled my mind over the last 5 years or so. Truly mind blowing!

I second this. They aren't posting their stupid "Bubba Gump" jokes on here anymore, so that is a positive.

Get your tickets and stand on the endzones behind the goal posts.  Best view in the house imo.  I love seeing the pockets and holes open up and seeing what the QB sees etc.

Unfortunately they have blocked off much of the area on the walkways for cameras, etc.

Or, fill in the open areas of the student section...hoping there won't be a ton of empty seats, but that would be a backup plan if you buy seats inside the 10 yd lines.

To each their own. For a $5/ticket donation it's worth a try to get more students at the game. Spending $5 is not much skin in the game either.

 

To purchase student tickets, call Caitlyn Marshall at 701-777-0256, office hours 10-6. I've already done mine. Nodak Nation will pick them up and distribute them from the Union ticket office.

Looks like still another 30 student tickets donated. This makes me UND proud!!! Thanks to everyone. Sprig - did you start this?? Thanks! Getting pumped - hard to stay focused.

I don't follow UND quite that closely but how does that fair to previous games this late in the week?

Depends who who the opponent is that week and how late in the season.

Average probably.

[sioux24/7]

Maybe this has been addressed maybe not. But why do attendance numbers seem to regress during the postseason? I understand during thanksgiving but other than that I would think the demand would increase substantially.

I'm surprised the Fargodome isn't sold out yet.
