dmksioux Posted May 30 Posted May 30 So I guess it’s safe to say, “we want Bama, and we got Bama!” 4 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Keep it at the Betty until there's reason to move it (i.e. ticket demand). 1 Quote

nodak651 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Really wish basketball would play more games at the REA, as was originally intended. I thought it would happen once the Womens team left. 1 Quote
forksandspoons Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Basketball at the REA was awesome IMO. The demand should be there from Devils Lake alone! Quote

I thought it would happen once the Womens team left. I didn’t realize the Ralph was intended to be the primary home for conference games. I do remember them hosting many more but I’d prefer not having a complete lack of atmosphere in the Betty when 2k people show up. Now for this game, you could make a strong argument for it being at the Ralph but I also understand why it’s not. Who knows, if there appears to be a big enough demand, maybe they’ll make the switch. 1 Quote
forksandspoons Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Hope they cram as many people in the Betty as possible then and break the building’s attendance record! 1 Quote

I’m not convinced it would come close to selling out. This isn’t Kansas, and there isn’t a Jerome Beasley or Jeff Boschee, plus I think fan attendance in all sports in general has fallen off a lot in the years since Covid. Quote
CMSioux Posted June 1 Posted June 1 How did UND get this agreement and not SU with the Grant Nelson connection? Are a few heads exploding on Bison-swille? Quote
