First official FB game was in 1894

Starting in 1921, NDSU and UND competed as charter members in the NCAA Division II North Central Conference.

 Nickel Trophy, the coin-shaped trophy's "mint" date is 1937, the year the trophy was created.

The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel is a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938.

Fargo Dome attendance so far this season.
Rona restrictions have eased a little since the fall game.

Central Ark.       471
Youngstown    6578
Illinois St.         6145

Predicting 6,500 on Saturday as this isn't a rivalry.

If history still has an impact in the Rona days, this should be the largest crowd in the Fargo Dome this season.
Could be a few thousand Hawks fans to help total numbers. 

This years Rona #'s are restricted at the Dome.
Last season's largest crowd at the Dome was on 9-27-2019  at 18,923 - UND
Largest crowd in the prior 4 seasons to that was on 9-19-15 at 19,044 - UND
Only the 2 Div I games played between the schools.
Largest crowd at the Alerus was a NDSU Div II game.

But not a rivalry game........

There are 9,500 tickets allowed for the SU Saturday game per to Rona circumstances.

What I've been hearing is most of them are sold, except some uncertainty with the student tickets.
UND AD would of had access to some, but great majority have been purchased by SU fans.
Now, last two Dome games had an attendance of 6K+.
Some fans that bought tickets, may not show? Will they try sell their tickets?
