I'm sure every teams fans that lost the bid is complaining right now. It's basically asking "how much money can we afford to lose" for most bidding teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn’t been matched up with Weber, we’d likely be enjoying a game at the Alerus in six days. Kind of what we were saying before. If we wouldn't of been matched up with the out door bathrooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a bid is simple math UND holds 12000 and Weber holds 17500 more seats more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also are ranked ahead of us. With students home for Thanksgiving and the fact we haven’t sold out a home game all year, they may award bid to Weber even if we outbid them if bids are close. I doubt we would have been able to get 9000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The late apologists are here. 11 minutes ago, johnsowe said: I think they say 17500x25 is and 13500x25 is No, not that simple. Weber State’s best attendance of the year was 11,700 versus Montana. Given the weather forecasted for Saturday, there won’t be that many fans there. UND could’ve (and should’ve) out bid them. But, apologies from our apologists for our brash comments. We are sorry. We kindly accept the declination of another home game for UND football fans and season ticket holders.

jdub27 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 6 figures over the minimum bid. Montana (who shouldn't have even made it) and maybe Idaho are the only ones who would have historically beat it (assuming Idaho is showing they are serious about FCS). Not sure how/why Weber went all in, but another draw where UND is in the top 3-4 of all first round bids and ends up in the road because there are no teams in the West. Absolutely sucks. Would have been ideal to get an NEC team and funnel into SDSU but instead they get sent west. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNHawk Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Man, this team had the chance to make a case for a home playoff game yesterday, and they didn’t make much of an argument. Hard for me to blame Chaves for not breaking the bank after that showing. Now we gotta do it the hard way. It is on the players and coaching staff to show up in Ogden and show that they are better than they looked in Fargo. I don’t think anyone will be too sad about missing a home game if they look outclassed on Saturday. That will only validate Chaves’s decision to not bet on this team.

Someone else probably knows for sure. There are technically other factors, but 99.8% of the time it's the bid. Other factors could include: Bidder's stadium is physically unsafe, there have been repeated issues of serious harassment/violence from students/fans, no stadium lighting for night games, extremely high chance of an imminent natural(or man made) disaster. I doubt there's ever been a case where any of these factors came into play*, but the rules say it's possible. *There was a case where a (seeded?)team didn't have stadium lights and lost the chance for a home game, but that team chose not to submit a bid at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I filed a FOIA for UND's bids back in 2019. Below are UND's bids for each round. I didn't publicly post them because I didn't want other schools to see what UND was bidding, but it doesn't seem to matter and the schools probably know anyway. And they can easily file FOIA's themselves. Again, these are from 2019. Pretty sure the "bid" is on the last page, #9, titled "guarantee", which was 75K for the first round in 2019.
