Popular Post ericpnelson Posted December 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2016 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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hky Posted December 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2016 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. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HawkinNutts Posted December 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2016 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! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperman8 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't posting their stupid "Bubba Gump" jokes on here anymore, so that is a positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
