Und246 Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 I love my football team but our fan base isn’t going to change that quickly. I think there is a shot at 11,000 but not much more than that. We will never have 12000. But 11000 would be fantastic. . Quote

homer Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 I’m not sure Thompson, Mayville and Hillsboro having playoff games at the same time tomorrow helps us. That will take away some fans unfortunately. I’m going to predict 11,500 with a solid SDSU turnout in the first game being ranked #1. Quote
Mama Sue Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Well, initially I thought I had my tickets emailed and that did not happen….FOUR calls to the UND ticket office for help with this on-line ticket. They said they could send me an email. Well, 4 calls and apologizing “Can I look into this and call you back?” (2:15 today was the last call) you know, in todays society….customer service is basically defined by Siri. Siri seems to answer right away. I hope I don’t have security called tomorrow. Quote

There's getting to be that feeling FB is making good strides at UND. We do have some FB street buzz in GF, of course long with the TC game, but the FB one is at home. I'm probably pushing it, but we could come close to 12K tomorrow. BIG GAME UND fans and friends, everyone welcome - game will be worth your admission. And if you were a SDSU fan why wouldn’t you travel up for this game? Or do they not have that kind of fan base that travels to close games? Quote

Probably because he's pretty good at his job and will talk to anyone about issues they have. But that's more work than criticizing without much reason. Quote

In what way? - new facility upgrades beyond Memorial Village and HPC phase 2? - new seating options at the Alerus Center for football? End-zone and/or catwalk seating? - new marketing opportunities for UND football? New Alerus Center gameday ops? - finite plans to increase football and basketball coaching salary pool? - UND athletics planning to actually manage their ticket revenue in full or continue to let REA, inc. commandeer UND athletics?

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 Since we joined the MVFC: SDSU has beat NDSU all three times. We lost in Brookings last year 24-21 and won at the Alerus 28-17 the season before. This is our 3rd MVFC game with the Jacks - who are rated #1 in FCS. Win here is huge for our FB program, large crowd could make the difference. 2 Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 I wonder that back in Jan of 2017, if even one fan from either UND or the MVFC would of taught that to this date since we started play in the MVFC, the ALERUS would have the best record of any MVFC stadiums. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/und-officially-makes-the-move-to-the-summit-league-missouri-valley-football-conference By Tom Miller January 26, 2017 12:19 PM School officials said UND football will become a member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020. 1 Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 Very loud crowd. PA music and the band are giving our offense respectable quiet time. Quote

Or do they not have that kind of fan base that travels to close games? Good question. I think SDSU fans have traveled well to the FBS games but we have not traveled as well to NDSU or UND. For games in Fargo, I think the difficulty in getting tickets is the primary reason otherwise there’d be a lot more SDSU fans in the Fargodome. I’ve been to three or four SDSU games in Fargo but was a challenge getting tickets (credit NDSU fans for so many sellouts). I gave serious consideration to driving up to Grand Forks for Saturday’s game but we had long-standing plans to visit family in Minneapolis where we’d watched the game on TV. My guess is that with a few more games between UND and SDSU interest will grow for traveling to the away games in both directions. Easy trip to Grand Forks but with essentially all games now available on TV, it’s easy to watch at home. Years ago a trip to UND almost always ended in an SDSU loss. SDSU is much more relevant now so maybe things will change. UND fans in Brookings are also pretty rare. I’d guess the explanation is probably the same. Quote

Siouxperman8 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 I didn't think there were many Jacks fans at the game but when walking out I saw they were pretty well represented in the SW corner. Many were in the upper level and with the low lighting and the dark blue shirts they weren't easy to see from across the stadium. 1 Quote
