Why take the time and effort to go all the way to the Alerus Center. Fortunately there are people ready and willing to take their place if they don't want to use their prime seats at the Alerus. (Sidenote: Hockey isn't safe either. Students having trouble filling their section as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see sections 108 and 109 turn into Champions Club Season tickets and just move all the students to the upper bowl.) Decreasing and/or moving student sections is something more and more Universities are going to have to decide on moving forward. Kind of hard to loo at a half full student section and not think how many of those seats could be sold to the general public. Am I the only one that thinks the student section has evolved to where it is overrated as far as impact and game environment - even at the hockey games? At football they only cheer when it is third down - if they are prompted by the announcer, most leave by the third quarter. At hockey there are random Let's go Sioux cheers and the cheers that are been around for 50 year "Who's he he sucks" and "Sieve". and the band. When I watch road games it seems their are teams who have students who are cheering much more often than our student section - it's like ours don't know or don't want to know what to do so they check their Snapchat constantly. I understand this is probably the wave of the future and we need to just get used to it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND's student section SHOULD be the level of a Cameron Crazy... but its not. Any mention of the otherwise gets them pissed off. They should be way better then they are. Should be organized better, should be more creative, but its not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand this is probably the wave of the future and we need to just get used to it. Football student section has about 200 hardcore fans that appreciate a football game on the 50 yard line. At the hockey game last night, student section was totally lame. I will sum up their lameness. 1. They correct the announcer when he says Hawks, most yell Sioux. (Millennials do have a hard time with reality) (Best to get the hot chocolate and coloring books out in the grieving rooms, time to move on) 2. Students tell the other players they suck sh-t when announced, which could be the dumbest thing you have ever heard. One of those players, Shane McMahon for Mankato, a Fargo Force player 2 years ago, spent some time at my house. I witnessed him several times eating real food and drinking drinks. No sh-t was sucked, and I did have dog sh-t in the yard. I saw Shane after the game, he took a photo with my kids. I tried smelling his breath for evidence of sh-t sucking, none detected. 3. They tell the opposing goalie he is a sieve for letting in a goal. (How original) 4. They wipe their hands back and forth, lean right and left during "In Heaven Their is No Beer" (Wow!!) I like the song, but the sway along gets a 2 out of 10. 5. Overall intensity.....not good. 3 out of 10. 6. Student soberness, not good, way too sober!! Thanks administration!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a buddy that lives in Fargo down in AZ for work last week and met up with him. He is mostly hockey guy (season tickets)......he said he won't buy Fighting Hawks stuff. I told him as much as I hated getting rid of Fighting Sioux, I've pretty much let it go at this point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
