And once we get past all the injuries and Mary Jane incidents, we'll get even bigger crowds as this program begins to have big-time success. We are closer to that than most people think. Quote

So selling out for the MSU game, which was neither of those, is a pretty good sign in my opinion. We've lost some of that momentum with everything that has happened since then, but I think we'll be able to get it back next year. Definitely have to have a better start to the season next year!

They have put bleechers up along the endzones, don't know what rules are on that. Maybe wouldn't be that many stanging tickets outside the CatWalk. How many people would you think stand on one CatWalk? TheBigUND stands up there, maybe he has a good estimate? Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 About 1750 tickets remain for Saturday. Assuming the 3 sections of student tickets and visiting team tickets sell, as they are blanked out. Quote

UND has 2,000 student seats for 14,223 enrollment One of out every four students that are enrolled at UND are "distant only" students. The amount of full time students in the "football attending demographics of a student at UND" is probably 9,000 or less. *not that it makes your point any less valid. Quote

The 3 student sections 241-212 hold about 2175 seats. They have been sold out for the 3 homes games this year so far, in fact additional students purchased tickets for $5. And many more students show up for tailgating and don't go to the game. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 Now we will be getting back some visitor tickets on Friday as we usually do. Realistically the student section can be expected to be sold out (given out). Attendance might be respectable on Sat. considering everything that's happened this season. Quote
shep Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 With the Gopher game on Friday night, I'm concerned the students won't get up for a pretty early Saturday game. Hope I'm wrong. Quote

This could well be a problem - too many people caught up in Gophermania weekend, and the football game falls by the wayside for them. I've faced the fact that I won't get to the volleyball game Saturday morning, but the 4 of us will be at football and hockey. Since we drive back and forth from Fargo, that's just all that we're going to make it for. 1 Quote

People might be more likely to want to tailgate/attend the football game as part of pregaming for hockey. Quote

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 20, 2017 Author Posted October 20, 2017 Ticket sales are stagnant this week. Who would of taught that? Hoping for a good walk on. If the 3 student sections fill, could be respectable. Quote
