SiouxVolley Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 ESPN2 wanted a game packed with fans for its 2pm slot, as ESPNU gets much lower ratings. Most of this evening ESPN2 had women's dance coverage, so UND-BU game was chosen by it to be the early game because they knew it would actual fans and excitement.

DAR Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Why would anyone go to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W. Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 You are absolutely correct, Dar,...outside of a couple universities....collegiate hockey has no fan interest!!!!! People on this board make fun of the attendance at BIG hockey games and playoffs...Again, at those Power 5 schools.... Hockey is way down on their athletic priority list!!!!! Face it....hockey is a 'niche' sport!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Like a lot of UND fans my wife and youngest daughter will pass on the game tonight. I have 6 tickets so 2 of those are available for free if anyone wants to just enjoy some hockey tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washburn Sioux Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 When a fan's team loses the first game, I would guess that most of that fan base leaves before the 2nd game. It's just not as evident as it was in Fargo last night, because there usually aren't many fans at the other regionals and its hard to tell if anyone left or not after losing the first game. That was a tough loss for everyone yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux Hawky Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I stayed for the umd/Ohio game. If the scheels arena holds 5000, then 4000 people left after the first game if not more. If you took out all the und fans that were left then there would have been only 50 people left in the stands. Truly sad that hockey doesn't have better following outside of North Dakota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
