This isn't commentary on any of the political portions of why/what they are doing, that is just the reasoning behind how the determinations were made. I remain confused how NDSU seems to be making up their own rules for capacity as the ND Smart Restart plans allows for up to 75% Max Occupancy or 7,500 attendees, whichever is fewer for a Tier 1 Events (which football games at the Fargodome are specifically mentioned) under the Green/Low Risk Level. could someone at the heraldo maybe ask about the "ndac rule"?....i'm sure schloss would love to accuse burgum of having blood on his hands...."how dare you." 1 Quote

They always do whether it's Title 9, Ben Newman and his amazing speeches (supplements), Best Buy cover-ups, or seating capacity. It's called the will to win and frankly we should learn from it. 3 Quote

Their AD mentioned earlier that for them to break even (I'm not sure exactly what term he used), they needed around 10K in the seats for Football games this Spring. That's what they are going to get. As a UND fan it was one of the hardest pills I've had to swallow, but a few years ago I finally came to terms that the two Universities just don't seem to have the same mindset. It's incredibly frustrating, but it just is. Just another example. Quote

Hasn't worked so well for the Ralph. 1 Quote

That's pretty interesting theory considering the amount of tickets that were still available for the NDSU/UCA game this fall before they pulled the plug with saving face as part of the reasoning. 40 minutes ago, gundy1124 said: They always do whether it's Title 9, Ben Newman and his amazing speeches (supplements), Best Buy cover-ups, or seating capacity. 19 minutes ago, AJS said: Their AD mentioned earlier that for them to break even (I'm not sure exactly what term he used), they needed around 10K in the seats for Football games this Spring.

LOL - if your AD thought FB could draw more than 4000 he'd be upping the capacity. Quote
Kab Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 It’s going to take awhile to get fans back in the habit of attending games. the Ralph needs to watch its pricing, why pay those prices when you can watch most games on TV 1 1 Quote

I already explained why the UND related facilities have the capacity they do. But I noticed you didn't address why NDSU wasn't even close to selling out their fall "showcase" game at a significantly reduced capacity. Quote

How many years has it been since the Alerus had a full house? Why did you cancel a big money game at KS last fall? KS did play that weekend. Quote

After nearly a year of you being relatively reasonable, we get your snoose-chewin', Busch Light drinkin', p$#!ing in the streets of Mpls, cows&^% on your Sunday shoes, chunky cousin kissin', line of bs. Football season is back... Gotta love it! 5 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Truth is there aren’t many teams that can compete with what su has recently done in football. On the field success along with fan and admin support. That said, I enjoy my school and love UND football and UND sports. It has given me many years of fun. In the up times and down years. and I like Busch light but don’t chew - yuck chewing 1 Quote

It was an attempt to stoke the flames of a 127 yr old rivalry as we head into a season. Sarcasm, satire, smack, whatever. Didn't expect anyone to view it as an editorial. Quote

nodak651 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I'll say it again... why are all of the tickets the same price? Goal line seats are not worth the same as 50 yard line seats. Quote
petey23 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Does anyone know which row is the top row of the bottom section and/or which row is first row of upper section? Quote

I ain't gonna dump on anyone for bad attendance this year. A big part of attending games in person is the atmosphere and energy. That isn't really attainable when capacity is substantially limited. 1 Quote
