One of those "Everybody gets on the JumboTron" kind of days.

Deer season in ND/MN seems to always decrease the crowd

The Alerus was built for days like this and playoffs late in the year. Be glad to sit on a warm seat today.

I still get chills, literally, thinking about metal bleachers at Memorial Stadium, on a cold day.   Great incentive to stand!

That's paid tickets. No way there was half that many in the building

Butts in seats is a hard number to find.
Your estimate has to be very close.

Probably 1k on the away side. Very sparse.

Wait til you see SDSU this weekend.  Once that weather turns so do their fans. Playoffs or not

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

Tickets are available for the Rabbits game.
We have more than a punchers chance in this game, need some fans in the stands.

South Dakota State FB has to be having a terrible Monday?
The Rabbits are still staggering.

Clearest video I've seen so far.

This Vermillion finish could work to our advantage. Thx SD.
The #1 topic of conversation the last 2 days in Brookings was not the weather, or how better they are than the ND teams.
Remember our lack of "Being at the top of our game" in Vermillion this fall? $hi##y feeling for ball players.

We'll have a shot at winning this game;
45 degrees 
Partly cloudy
WNW wind 12 mph

Moose runs across the Jacks field on Friday.  Another good luck sign, our chances are getting better.

When those metal bleachers were cold they would ring like a bell when farted on. Not that I know from personal experience. 

[bincitysioux]

So, final attendance for the season comes in at 9,661.  That's the highest average for the season since 2017, not coincidentally which also was a season after winning a conference title.  NDSU game was obviously the highest attended game of the year, and was the first sell out at the Alerus since 2017 against Montana St.

Thanksgiving weekend.  Happens every year.  If the Bison played a playoff game on Thanksgiving weekend, they would probably have 12,000.  Is what it is.

Ugly? 

[The Sicatoka]

I stand by my prior statement that if UND was hosting an opening round game with UM/UND hockey going on that night they'd have outdrawn either SD school, probably all the playoff list, just with people coming out to "start early" for the hockey game. 

Remember: You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning. Right @gfhockey?  

[JohnboyND7]

Outdrawing USD may have been close.
