Job well done to the UND Athletic Department https://fightinghawks.com/news/2018/10/22/football-15-ticket-promo-for-this-saturdays-ranked-teams-showdown.aspx "This promotion runs all the way up until kickoff and is only for remaining tickets in sections 201, 209, 210 and 218." This $15 seat price is only for the 4 corner sections and they should always be discounted, till maybe the Hawks' Nest consistently sell outs. The view in these seats is not as good as the other sections. Quote

forksandspoons Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Going to need to sell a lot of tickets this week. Hoping to see some more creative ideas from the Athletic Department and Nodak Nation throughout the week 2 Quote

Encouraging more people to get in the building needs to be the key. Make new fans of people and have them be a part of the whole game day experience from the tailgating to the game is much better than watching it on TV. Quote

Hoping to see some more creative ideas from the Athletic Department and Nodak Nation throughout the week I'm calling on all Air Force vets to buy tickets for some Airmen or Airwomen. As a former Airmen I tink this is a great way to give back to vets and help the program at the same time. I'm working on buying 10 tickets to be given to some vets and families.

I don't have any contacts with the AF so asked the Athletic dept to help. I will just pay for the tickets and leave them for will call. I would say check with the Champions Club or Kyle Doperalski Associate AD. Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 This game is free to military members: North Dakota Football hosts Weber State on Saturday, October 27. It's the annual Military Appreciation Game and up to 1,000 free tickets available to military members and their families through the Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce. 1 Quote
Popular Post Cratter Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Posted October 23, 2018 KNOX Radio (1310 am) in Grand Forks is doing its part to try and get the Alerus full. They are promoting anyone who has tickets and isn't going to use them (going to Vegas) to call the station and they'll give them away. Or you can drop them off at the radio station and they'll give them away. They also mentioned the $15 tickets. 8 Quote
darell1976 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 UND's average attendance: 2018: 10,179 ( down 283 from last year, only played 3 home games) 2017: 10,462 (highest average attendance ever) 2016: 9944 (playoff team, and conference co-champ) 2008: 10,167 (only other 10k plus attendance in DI era) 2001: 10,124 (only 10k plus average in DII and that includes 13,500 against NDSU) Quote

Those always seem to be the two most attended games. I can't remember what the attendance was for the Montana game, but I remember some people being a little disappointed in the turnout. If that was Homecoming weekend instead it would have been a bigger crowd. If we are at 10,179 for this year, we will likely end the year under 10k as we know it drops some the second half, and the Vegas game this weekend won't help. Hoping the crowd will be loud this Saturday though for Weber! Quote
