The "bar" shouldn't really change anything there. This is part of the reason the student section isn't full. UND and the Alerus have years of data on how many of the 2,000 student tickets are scanned. It's below 80%. Yet, after pointing this out a year ago......sadly, they didn't change anything. I would fire someone!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just so-so; now that there’s an established bar presence there, the catwalks truly will be where it’s at. A field level bar would be even more hyped and attended. All good things that should be in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fire someone!! At this point, is there any reason to even do student tickets? Just scan their IDs at the door to get a number and call it good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fire someone!! The student seating needs to be adjusted. Ive been saying it for years. With the students consistently not using their entire allotted sections, the student sections should be reduced and/or relocated. We all know paying season ticket holders would love to consistently attend home games seated at the 50 yard line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The catwalks have always been where it’s at. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, that is a simple solution!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 There are just over 3,000 seats still available to the public. There are 2156 seats in the 3 student sections, don't know if the students get them all? Or if they will all be filled? The visiting section {lower 217} is still blanked out, so I'll assume some of these will show up as available tomorrow? Most games last year there were over a thousand walkons. With that, looking like an attendance of 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 177 tickets showed up for sale in the visitors section 217 on Ticketmaster this morning. Looking for a large walkon crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The visitors did buy a 100 tickets, so apprently they are planning on showing up? One sure couldn't tell it by the secrecy of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
